Brashton Satele was denied his request for a 6th year

About having his request for a medical exemption for a 6th year denied by the NCAA, ending his Warrior career, Brashton Satele said:
"I'm shocked. I thought I was coming back (to UH) for sure." (HA)


HA Note: "The NCAA ruled that Satele needed to prove he missed two seasons because of injuries. Satele had enough documentation for the 2009 season, but not enough for the 2005 season. Lee Ann Satele said the NCAA told them while they had documentation, it was postdated, and not actually from 2005. She said data was not collected at the time in 2005 because "nobody saw it would put us in this situation" several years later."


About Brashton's Warrior career being over, Lee Ann Satele said:
"We're all bummed. We gave it our best shot. But they wanted more information." (HA)


About being disappointed in the NCAA's decision, UH compliance officer Amanda Paterson said:
"I thought we put on a strong case." (HA)


HA Note: "But the lack of "contemporaneous documentation" — notes written in 2005 from doctors and physical therapists — hurt the appeal."

HA Note: "Paterson, who was named interim compliance officer in 2008, said that, during orientation meetings, student-athletes are instructed to collect contemporaneous documentation whenever they suffer an injury."
