I agree CADad. How bad do you want to play? Bad enough to do something you dont want to do? Bad enough to do something you dont agree with? Bad enough to sacrifice something you dont think you should have to sacrifice?
We all that have kids in college playing baseball understand the sacrifices that they have to make just to be in the program. We also understand the amount of hard work , dedication and desire it takes too.
If he really wants to play he should cut his hair and play. If he is unwilling to cut his hair to play he simply does not want to play badly enough. And it is very likely if he continues to have this same attitude he will not play in college. But I wish him well. But Dad needs to understand his ability as a player has absolutely nothing to do with this. Exceptions to rules do not apply based on ability. Health reasons , academic reasons , of course.
