Here is an interesting case.  Miami's star scorer last year, Randy
Robitialle, left school after his Sophomore year this spring to play
with the Boston Bruins.  After he an injury in his first shift ended
his season, he has returned to Miami to finish the year.  This goes to
show that there are still good kids out there who actually want to
learn.  Maybe he'll take enough summer classes to get his degree
sometime in the future.
