Syracuse guard Eric Devendorf has been granted a hardship waiver by the Big East Conference which will give him an additional year of athletic eligibility, the Associated Press is reporting.

The school applied on Devendorf's behalf after he suffered a torn ACL in a game last December against East Tennessee State and missed the rest of the season. Devendorf started the first 10 games of 2007-08 and averaged 17 points a game.
