NFT: Purdue School of Engineering working overtime

Trying to develop a NCAA-accepted playing cast/brace for Isaac Haas. In cooperation with Purdue's Athletic Training Staff.

Talk about using all your best assets available. Hope it works out. Pretty cool.
Awsome!

Purdue's sports medicine program has reached out to a group of mechanical engineers on campus, according to the Lafayette Journal & Courier, to see whether they can design an NCAA-approved brace that would at least open the door for 7-foot-2 center Isaac Haas to be able to return to the court this season.

It’s such a rare injury. Usually there aren’t any playing braces for fractures in non-contact sports. And even in football that is just padding a cast as the fracture needs to be completely immobile and casting is often only option, And I’m guessing the NCAA has some whacky strict things as basketball is “non” contact.

But if they can make jpp something I’m sure this csn be fixed.

That all makes sense particularly the non-contact point.
