Add me to the list of those who think that the NC$$ was brain-dead in assessing a 14 game penalty to Ingraham. Assuming it's for the 1 credit short, then it was an unintentional trivial error that no one realized until the new computer program was put into place and then was self-reported. ANd if it has to do with the time being at the community college @ UMaine, so what? I teach one night a week at an off-campus extension of BU. But students get BU degrees there. So if the community college extension offerred UMaine credits leading to a UMaine degree, I don't see the problem. The NC$$, instead of picking nits, should take a hard look at the true abuses in college athletics instead of fine-print violations. IMNSHO, this was the equivalent of the death penalty for jaywalking. Cal would have fared better if he'd stalked and stabbed the world's number one tennis player. **************************************************************** * Dave Hendrickson [log in to unmask] * * A Hockey Get-A-Lifer and Proud Of It * * GO BROONS!!!
