I believe that is the precise point of the (possible) lawsuit. UMaine
officials feel the athletes have been punished enough and to bar them from
post season play is untenable. I admit that it's corny, but if our
founding fathers had just shrugged their shoulders and walked away we'd be
the cricket-l list!
