Shame on his professors! Other students wouldn't be able to get incompletes
because they simply wanted to leave school before the semester was over.
To me, an athlete who is given incompletes because he wants to turn pro
is receiving special treatment (although not by NCAA rules because the
athlete's eligibility has run out). Athletes who want to turn pro and
leave their school before the end of the semester should be required to
either withdraw from their courses or be flunked.
