I wouldn't go there cause I know I'd break the rules. But you can't know the rules going in, accept them, break them, and then cry about having to accept the consequences. What other guys on the team or other students at the university may or may not be doing is irrelevant. At issue is what should the school have done about his situation and as Dalakhani has said, they really had no choice in the matter. I feel bad for the other players and for the coaching staff, especially the head coach who was going to be in a great position to cash in big time had they won a couple of games in the NCAA tournament. I don't feel bad for the kid though. In the grand scheme of things, what he did was very minor. But we are looking at it from our perspective. I applaud them for standing up for something more than just wins and losses. In today's world, that's very rare. Now, if there is leeway given in other instances, that's a different story but as far as I have read, there isn't.
