From the information gleaned from the numerous postings pertaining to the Tory eligibility issue it appears that I can only conclude that the Maine coaching staff was aware of a conflict involving interpretation of eligibility rules. One interpretation arrived at independently by at least two other programs and shared with the Maine staff suggested Tory would not have freshman eligibility . The Maine staff felt there was another interpretation which would allow a di fferent conclusion. It would be incumbent upon them to clearly present these t wo interpretations to the NCAA for a definitive ruling. It is not appropriate do anything other. It they were as concerned about their student-athletes' aca demic progress as they profess, they would not want to subject a clearly border line student to the rigors and travel of a varsity sport during their first yea r in school. I'll end with this note. How many times have you exceeded the sp eed limit? How many times have you been caught? LGF
