Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 3778231, member: 19"] The part of the quote that bothered me was the suggestion that players would lose on purpose so they could leave. I think that's ridiculous. Yes, being in a hotel room alone and eating cold food is not good, but once they get on that court there's a sense of normalcy. They're not stuck in the hotel forever. I'm very sensitive to mental health. And I remember back when this all started, I remember people here, and on facebook/twitter telling people to suck it up and stay home so they could save lives. They didn't want to hear about mental health back then. This isn't ideal. But I bet most of these kids would rather hang out alone in a hotel room and still be playing in the NCAA tourney than not being in it. [/QUOTE]
