UConn's APR ban was the application of an arbitrary standard having no bearing on education. It's like measuring health solely by height.

UConn: postseason ban to national championship. Kevin Ollie goes 6-0 in his first trip as head coach in NCAA. Historic in the sport.

Jeff Goodman ✔ @GoodmanESPN Follow
Shabazz Napier will go down as one of the greatest players -- and toughest kids -- in UConn history. Two national titles.

Skip Bayless ✔ @RealSkipBayless Follow
The 6-foot senior guard overcame 6 freshmen who were McDonald's High School All-Americans. Way to go, Shabazz Napier.

UConn's Shabazz Napier is the definition of a successful student athlete. And his story should make the NCAA nervous: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/sportingscene/2014/04/one-shining-moment-of-truth.html…

You do realize that we're all hungover, don't you?

Much respect for Jay Bilas bringing up the truth about the tournament ban, hope he succeeds in bringing down Mark Emert or at least exposing him, karma has bitten and will continue to bite him.
