Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 1307657, member: 548"] Rakeem deserves every bit of notice he gets. Good for Doris! Is this becoming a story? A basketball program waiting waiting waiting for the ax to fall, sustaining injuries and "defection" to the NBA, and as a result, to this point having the worst record of Boeheim's tenure, the players who did nothing wrong giving every game their all, and still the waiting waiting waiting... the irony that Christmas stands for everything the NCAA says they value in a student athlete . . . he becomes the symbol of someone who does everything right . . . and yet is punished by an incompetent system proclaiming to promote and regulate ethics, fairness and academic accomplishment . . . I don't know. It's late and I am rather incoherent, but there's a story here, something about a "hero" and a "goat." [/QUOTE]
