32-year-old Navy SEAL attempting to walk on at DE for Northwestern
Tom Hruby doesn't see his situation attempting to walk on at Northwestern as a defensive end as something outstanding or amazing. Rather, he's trying something that seems against all odds.
The latter is certainly true. If the former isn't, at the very least, Hruby is unique. After all, he's a 32-year-old who is married with three kids. Oh, and he's also an active Navy SEAL.
“I don’t feel like where I’m at today is some outstanding or amazing thing,” Hruby told the Chicago Sun-Times. “It’s just more of a challenging route . . . the way I kind of think about finding and accepting and trying to take on these challenges that most people would probably say are impossible, one, or very unlikely or just plain dumb.”
He's also the same age that Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald was ... when Fitzgerald became the Wildcats' coach in 2006.
2006 is also the year when Hruby became a Navy SEAL. He joined SEAL Team 1 and was a breacher, which according to the Navy SEAL website "is the authority on all mechanical and explosive entry issues."
He's currently a SEAL instructor at the Great Lakes Naval Station and saved up his leave to participate in Northwestern's training camp. He played football in high school and after "falling apart as a person" when he was in the latter stages of high school, he started training to become a SEAL and married his wife Jen.
He enrolled at Northwestern last year after taking the SAT and has a dorm room on campus. He spends weekends with Jen and their children, as the family lives with his mother after they moved back from Wisconsin.
If he makes the team, he hopes to play on special teams. He figures the menality he gained during SEAL training will help.
“What’s the next step? How do we get out of here? And you’ve just got to stick to those thoughts, stick to what’s important, stick to what you know and just kind of have an attitude,” he said. “We all have an attitude of we’re always going to survive. There’s almost nothing that can beat us.”

Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo shows off his first selfie (Photo)
Welcome to our Dr. Saturday feature titled "Random offseason tweet of the day." With real games still weeks away, coaches and players will be tweeting about non-football-related things as the season approaches. In this space, we'll try to find the funniest and goofiest tweets of the day. If you see something, don't hesitate to send it to us.
Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo is now part of the selfie craze. And we agree with his choice of venues for the picture.
First selfie ever taken! View from my office - how can you not love coming to work every day! Mahalo! #NavyFootball http://ift.tt/Xb2GOE
— Ken Niumatalolo (@NAVYCoachKen) August 9, 2014 Niumatalolo took a picture from his office in Annapolis, Md., and no, we can't quabble with the view one bit.
Selfies can be addicting like a Lay's potato chip. You can't take just one. So here's to hoping that Niumatalolo does a selfie on the sidelines before every game this season. It'd be something that no other coach does in college football so he could be a trendsetter. Maybe he could even inspire Nick Saban to take a selfie on the sidelines if the trend takes off.
Oh, who are we kidding. Saban will never publicly show off a selfie. But we still have our hopes up for Niumatalolo.

NCAA announces it will appeal O'Bannon ruling
The NCAA said Sunday morning it would appeal U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken's ruling in the O'Bannon vs. NCAA case.
Wilken made her ruling Friday and said the NCAA couldn't stop players from profiting off their names and likenesses. The NCAA has long ruled that players cannot make income off their likenesses outside of scholarships and other NCAA-approved stipends.
While Wilken ruled against the NCAA, her ruling wasn't nearly as severe as it could have been towards the sanctioning body. She said in her ruling that the injunction didn't prevent the NCAA from instituting a cap on the image and likeness revenue that players could receive. The limit could be in place as long as players are offered a minimum of $5,000 per year in a fund to be accessed upon exiting school.
Here's the NCAA's appeal statement in full:
We remain confident that the NCAA has not violated the antitrust laws and intend to appeal. We will also be seeking clarity from the District Court on some details of its ruling.
It should be noted that the Court supported several of the NCAA’s positions, and we share a commitment to better support student-athletes. For more than three years, we’ve been working to improve the college experience for the more than 460,000 student-athletes across all three divisions. On Thursday, the Division I Board of Directors passed a new governance model allowing schools to better support student-athletes, including covering the full cost of attendance, one of the central components of the injunction. The Court also agreed that the integration of academics and athletics is important and supported by NCAA rules.
Further, the Court rejected the plaintiffs’ claims that the NCAA licensed student-athletes' names, images and likenesses to EA Sports or anyone else. It also rejected the plaintiffs’ proposed model where athletes could directly market their names, images and likenesses while in college.
We look forward to presenting our arguments on appeal, and in the meantime we will continue to champion student-athlete success on the field and in the classroom.
As the statement notes, Wilken's decision came a day after the NCAA's Board of Directors voted 16-2 in favor of giving more autonomy to the Power Five conferences of the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC. The ruling could allow the schools in those conferences to make their own rules including allowing full cost-of-attendance scholarships.
An appeal by the NCAA had been expected.
