Oregonian reports that Rachel plans to apply for another season of eligibility. Does anyone know the NCAA rules on that? She had played in 4 games before getting hurt.

I believe that your are eligible for a waiver of your 4 year eligibility if
1)your injury is in the first 1/2 of the season or
2)you have played less than 3 competition dates or 30% of the season, whichever is greater,
and the injury is considered incapacitating. I think an ACL is pretty automatic in that regard.
Rachel qualifies on all counts.
I'm a little unclear how your 5 year clock comes into play, but Rachel didn't redshirt.
You did save that NCAA manual on your thumb drive, right? rule 14.2.4
