Conner brothers eligibility lawsuit I have to wonder whether or not there is more lenience with a sport (football in this case) that has much fewer events per season than other sports and is much more prone to season-ending impact injuries. Baseball and basketball play more games in any given season, therefore, the odds of eligibility debates due to injury depending on a single game is much less likely by the time season ends. All that to say, the more events in a season, the more likely injury eligibility is clear cut and doesn't hang on the balance of one scheduled game.
