I was also at a basketball game at St. Paul. I spoke to several people about this situation. The information I got was a little bit more accurate. I heard that the school did not set him up with enough NCAA core course requirements in his freshman year or his sophomore year. His parents, who spent thousands of dollars for those two years discovered this and brought it to the attention of the administration. His parents became frustrated and wanted to transfer Logan at that point. The administration, after seeing the attention Logan was bringing to the enrollment dying school, asked them to reconsider and stay loyal to the football program Logan was helping to build. Logan's parents, as were most of us, were not to familiar with the rigors of NCAA eligibility and they relied on their tuition and Coach Jude Kelly and the school guidance department to guide them, this apparently failed. They decided to stay loyal to the football team (it's called a commitment Diaco) and due to financial issues transferred after the first semester of his senior year. If they waited until the second semester , they would be responsible for the entire years tuition, no conspiracy.
I also heard from a reliable source ( you just have to trust me ) that Logan was NCAA eligible and actual had an sat score 60 points higher than a particular Connecticut running back.
There has been much speculation as to why Marchi did not get admitted to UConn. I was at the St.Paul game this evening and am also a ST.Paul grad . I spoke to 4 different people who would have insight into this situation ( not going to mention names, you just have to trust me). The basic answer was that he had his opportunity to get his academics in order and he did not. All said he was a good kid. All said UConn had no choice but to do what they did. I was not told if it was SAT or core requirements ( I probably should have asked put didn't).
I wish him the best, and I was also hoping to see a St.Paul Falcon get the opportunity to QB at UConn.
