My mom has it--she bought this little rocker thing that helps stretch out the muscle.
---Couldn't find a picture, but this may help:
Treatments
Symptoms usually resolve more quickly when the time between the onset of symptoms and the beginning of treatment is as short as possible. If treatment is delayed, the complete resolution of symptoms may take 6-18 months or more. Treatment will typically begin by correcting training errors, which usually requires some degree of rest, the use of ice after activities, and an evaluation of the patient’s shoes and activities. For pain, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g. aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) may be recommended.
Next, risk factors related to how the patient’s foot is formed and how it moves are corrected with a stretching and strengthening program. If there is still no improvement, night splints (which immobilize the ankle during sleep) and orthotics (customized shoe inserts) are considered. Cortisone injections are usually one of the treatments of last resort, but have a success rate of 70% or better. The final option, surgery has a 70-90% success rate.
In one study, 25% of plantar fasciitis patients cited rest as the treatment that worked the best. Wearing shoes with more arch support may help decrease stress on the area. Changing shoe size may also help. Athletes and active people may have to reduce the amount running or jumping they do to relieve stress on the plantar fascia.
Using an ice pack or ice bath on the area for about 15 minutes may relieve pain and inflammation after exercise and work. Massaging the foot in the area of the arch and heel before getting out of bed may help. Stretching is also important.
As reported in one study, 83% of patients in a stretching program were successfully treated for plantar fasciitis; 29% of study participants cited stretching as the most helpful treatment, compared with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, orthotics, ice, heat, steroid injection, heel cups, walking, night splints, plantar strapping and shoe changes.

No, unless members of Penn State's 2014 freshman class redshirt, they will have used up their eligibility prior to the 2018 College Football season.

Do you mean plantar fasciitus?
