IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE PEOPLE WHO PAY THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE IN A SITUATION
SUCH AS A FORFIET ARE THE PLAYERS AND THE FANS.  WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF
PUNISHING PEOPLE WHO HAD LITTLE OR NOTHING TO DO WITH THE VIOLATION.  I FEEL
THAT IT IS UP TO THE ADMINISTRATION TO CONTROL THEIR COACHES AND STAFF, THIS IS
 NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FANS OR THE PLAYERS.  I JUST LEARNED LAST NIGHT
THAT THE LADY BLACKBEARS ARE NOT GOING TO BE ALLOWED IN THE N.A.C. PLAYOFFS
BECAUSE OF A SCEDULING VIOLATION.  IF I WERE ON THE TEAM I WOULD BE FURIOUS
WITH THE ADMINISTRATION.  THE STUDENTS WORK HARD ACADEMICLY, AS WELL AS ON THE
ICE OR COURT. THE PEOPLE IN THE UNIVERSITY ARE PAID GOOD MONEY TO MAKE THE
RIGHT DECISIONS, SO WHY ARE THE WRONG PEOPLE ALWAYS THE ONES WHO PAY THE PRICE?
 
   THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS YEAR THAT MAINE BLACKBEAR ATHLETES AND FANS
HAVE HAD TO PAY THE PRICE FOR A SCREW UP BY THEIR ADMINISTRATION.  WHAT KIND
OF PENALTY DO THEY HAVE TO FACE?  AFTER ALL THOSE OF US WHO PAY TUITION HELP
PAY THEIR SALARIES, I FEEL LIKE WE ARE ALL BEING PUNISHED FOR THEIR INABILITY
TO DO THEIR JOBS.
