That's why I am surprised that Holtz and Boyd haven't tried to get a hardship waiver. He has very good grounds, because he came back to Florida to be closer to his young son and family. I know that he had a lingering hamstring injury at ND in the spring, but he IS practicing with the team.

Even if Boyd received the hardship waiver, he does not have to play this year. It's like having insurance in case the need arises. If he doesn't get it, then he's in the same position he is in now.
This is a great point. I don't understand it either. Boyd must be very set on not playing this year at all.
