Towers has an article a day or two ago and he said he's certain that Trent will be back and enrolled by the first day of summer courses. Trent has maymester, Summer I, and Summer II to get his 30 hours (combined with the courses from the fall; most guys only take around 9 hours so that they can focus during the season). If he takes 2 courses in each summer term and throws a lab in, then he should be okay. That would be one helluva summer work load, though.

It's a star athlete at a major college football program.
If the question is "can be take/pass enough classes?", the answer is always going to be yes.

I've also read that there could be some type of medical hardship waiver he could try to get that would make it much easier for him to be eligible this fall. Everything I've read recently makes it sound like there's a really good chance he's back on the field this season.

He can get a waiver based on progress toward degree and having to pursue a medical hardship withdrawal. He'll probably take 6-9 hours this summer and 12 in the fall depending on what courses he still needs in pursuit of his degree. All told, he should get the waiver from the NCAA but then AJ Green should have been left alone and Gurley should have been let back by the mizzou game

I heard Chip Towers (I believe) on Brandon Adams podcast say it was definitely a medical issue and not a drug issue. He also said he knows a lot more about the situation but couldn't comment due to HIPPA regulations and had watched the police body camera footage and read the supplemental reports. He confirmed that TT was out of it and that a police officer asked TT if he had taken oxies and TT answered "yes". That's a little different that it was portrayed in the initial report as I beleievef than TT just telling the officers that he had taken two oxies. I now believe he'll be back by summer at the latest.
