Feeney entered the sport wanting to be a big-time Big 10 player. He left it accomplishing something completely different.
Rucker was a concerned parent who wanted to help others in her position and have her son’s harrowing story known. If they were going to play college football, what happened to Feeney at least needed to be on the record.
But to get to that experience of playing college football, Feeney had to overcome the aftermath of his illness, both physically and emotionally. Feeney’s experience at Indiana following his physical recovery sent him on an emotional downturn. His team, he said, almost completely shunned him. Players who were once friends no longer responded to him. It felt like a concerted effort, in his mind, to make it known he wasn’t welcome.“I knew that he was extremely unhappy,” Rucker said.
Feeney eventually saw a doctor and was given a bed. His blood oxygen level was in the high 60s to low 70s. Safe is considered between 88-92. He was put on oxygen and stayed in the hospital for several days. Media inquiries poured in. Attention came from every which way. And while it was not all malicious, none of it felt good.
He had to see the team every day in some capacity. Every day, he had to be around people whom he felt didn’t want to be around him. They wanted to play, an understandable desire. Like Feeney, they too worked their whole lives to get this opportunity. Feeney was asked by some to create a post with the hashtag “We want to play,” but he didn’t feel comfortable doing that.“They believed that once the initial season was canceled,” Feeney said, “it was partly me to blame.”
