Does this mean that it's OK for a hockey player to enroll at a school, not
attend classes, and simply withdraw from those classes after not attending
them (or not attending enough of them to pass)? Aren't student athletes
supposed to be students in some meaningful sense?
 
A few years back, the University of Maine had to forfeit a large number of
games because it was discovered after the fact that Cal Ingraham was two or
three credits shy of NCAA requirements (the registrar's office has made a
mistake in posting credits when he transferred to UMaine from the Air Force
Academy). If Dave Hendrickson's post is correct, LaCouture has zero credits
from his first semester, but this apparently doesn't affect his eligibility.
 
How long can this go on? Did LaCouture pass his second-semester classes? Did
he attend them?
 
Does anybody else wonder about this?
