Ah, always nice when somebody blames the person who wrote the story.
I think we'd all be interested to about these untruths. Not sure how there could be so many in a story about a kid losing his eligibility.
If we're to believe that the academic advisors shouldn't be required to learn the NCAA certification rules, why then are we expecting these student-athletes, who have to deal with classes, homework and a demanding practice and workout schedule, to know them?
Mario Lane did nothing wrong. He trusted an advisor. Nothing more. Given that this advisor wasn't some random guy off the street and was actually trained and paid by the university to give students guidance, I find it very, very difficult to fault Mario.
Finally, Mario stood up and took the blame publicly. Many kids wouldn't have. And maybe Mario shouldn't have. It certainly wasn't his fault. But he decided that nothing good could come from him placing blame on someone else, so he took it on himself. Very admirable, in my book. Maybe ASU could hire the kid to be AD.
