Sad thing here is that it's such an easy decision to make, if you take bias out of the equation.
1) The NCAA standard in question was applied after the fact
2) We have already been punished for the student-athletes who gave us the poor APR
3) The current APR is through the roof
If any of those things were not true, we would have less of a case. But our current APR shows that the issues we had a few years ago have been resolved and are not a case of a systemic problem with the program, and the loss of two scholarships has clearly been an impetus for getting our house back in order.
Just as another example, you are considered to be in Title IX compliance if you can show that you are making adequate progress towards compliance (i.e. adding a women's sport or increasing scholarships recently) even if your current numbers aren't there yet.
And, yes I am biased, but if this same thing was happening to Kentucky and Calipari, I'd feel the same way. I might just not post my feelings here.
