"...I thought those credits would count."
 
When I read that in the BDN yesterday afternoon I couldn't believe it.
Any time a student fails a course he/she receives no credit. What was
Cal thinking?!
 
After reading more about the situation, I now agree with the NCAA's
decision to suspend Ingraham for 14 games. A rule is a rule is a
rule. However, I disagree with Maine's having to forfeit the 14 games
Ingraham played in that semester. Of course, the forfeits mean noth-
ing because it was two seasons ago. It doesn't make sense to do that.
