"win-win" - you can't be serious. Support groups are one thing, but let's face it, it's going to take a VILLAGE to ensure this guy is eligible. I don't want to bet on someone's failure, and I like to give young folks the benefit of the doubt, but let's not pretend here. Clearly the D1 school here is just a backdrop for him to potentially launch a baseball career - and we know what the odds are for that. Does that make the kid a winner - not likely. Does the coach win? Wait til his NCAA APR stats catch up with him. What about deserving athletes who have already demonstrated classroom performance? Do they win? Maybe you know something the principal doesn't. Fine - give the kid the benefit of the doubt, but let's not pretend this approach represents the right thing to do. This certainly isn't a school I'd send my kid to.
