PAbaseball,
Sounds like they needed to think about that before misleading the player. They made that bed, now they should have to sleep in it. At least that's the way I read it, but I'm sure there is a lot more to the story. Decisions like this rarely, if ever, happen in a vacuum.
Like I said before, I'm not a big fan of the NCAA. The older I've gotten the more I see the true business side of "amateur sports".
