| | Can someone please explain to me why Mark Wade was put in? They were only down by 4 or 5 at that point, and he has ONE save to his credit. Yea Petit looked visibly injured, but what about Ghitleman?
And another thing... I think Duke has an incredible team this year, and John D is doing a great job. But am I the only one who thinks its ridiculous that the NCAA gave them an extra year of eligibility? Yeah what this girl did was sad and unfortunate, and I feel bad that a lot of innocent people had to go through it. But is the NCAA forgetting that the reason this all happened is because they had a team-wide stripper party?!? Not that there is anything wrong with strippers, or inviting them to parties — I'm all for having good times, but shouldnt the players understand that what theyre doing compromises their involvement as student athletes? Is the NCAA setting a good example to younger kids by saying, "hey go ahead and have loud raging stripper parties that cause problems on campus, because if your good enough athletes then everyone will forget about it later." And its not like they only got to play 1 or 2 games that season — they played 8 games. If your an injured player in the 8th game of a season and you lose the rest of the season, the NCAA doesnt give you a full extra year of eligibility, so why give it to a bunch of guys who brought trouble on themselves? |
