I'd have to figure that Anthony gets a sixth-year... the Dillon situation was much different and I am not aware of what the Anio case was.
Now, with the season complete, Anthony said he's been given a clean bill of health and is preparing to play football again.
However, GSU head coach Rod Broadway has expressed doubts over whether Anthony will be allowed to play in 2011. Anthony is currently a fifth-year senior, and in order for him to be eligible next season, the NCAA would have to grant a waiver for a sixth year of eligibility.
It seems like an open-and-shut case — Anthony didn't play a single snap in 2010 — but similar requests from GSU players for an extra year of eligibility have been denied recently. The NCAA did not give an extra year to GSU defensive back Kenneth Anio, who missed his entire senior season in 2009 due to injury. Quarterback Greg Dillon also had a hardship waiver denied.
