Message: [QUOTE="domerduck, post: 3483227, member: 10178"] Speaking of smarts (which some people who call names should be more considerate), the NCAA is not just basketball. You have several other winter sports where the championship meet is absolutely EVERYTHING these athletes have been working for in their sport. Gymnastics, wrestling, fencing, hockey (mens and women's), swimming and diving, even bowling, rifling, and skiing are all winter sports where their championsips were not held. Most of these students are not even on scholarship and the only issue is eligibility. As a parent of a student who lettered 4 years in multiple D1 sports (soccer & xcountry) I know how hard they work to keep up with their sport. Whatever decision the NCAA makes about bball must be in context of all the other winter sports. Eligibility can be granted without scholarship and a those that hadn't received their 5th year might be able to get it added if the rules can be fair. It's a reasonable argument. Lot's to consider and name calling is truly not called for. See all the championships that the NCAA administers. [URL unfurl="true"]http://www.ncaa.org/championships?division=d1[/URL] [/QUOTE]
