I guess I'm thinking most of the player himself rather than just a fan. The real tragedy is for this young man who did everything he could, worked hard and followed everyone's rules to make a new life for himself in a new country without his family. He lost his parents, worked hard and now earned the right to freely choose where he could continue his education while playing a sport he loves. I guess I'm thinking of how my kids, Bees's son, anyone's child, heck, how I myself would feel, after the thrill of being accepted, the relief after making such a huge decision only to be turned away on a questionable subjective ruling by a 3rd party which you have no control over.  Hoping the best for this young man who followed the rules, did what he was asked -but found out it still wasn't enough for the NCAA because of a last minute ruling on a course taken his freshman year in Africa. I really feel for this young man regardless of the university he was headed to.  I worry this young man is just a pawn in the politics that has become college sports.
