I've never gotten a complete 100% blanket statement on the matter, but if as I believe LaCouture took incompletes on his first-semester courses, then he has been given NO different priviledge than any other BU student gets. That much I can guarantee. All BU students have a full year to settle incompletes. LaCouture apparently had personal circumstances that warranted an incomplete regardless of his athletic stature. As such, he could still complete those courses this summer. ------------------------------------------------- Dave Hendrickson [log in to unmask] Hockey East writer for U.S. College Hockey Online http://www.uscollegehockey.com HOCKEY-L is for discussion of college ice hockey; send information to [log in to unmask], The College Hockey Information List.
