All of them would have been able to count on significant playing time but their lack of self control has resulted in their further failure.
As much of an impact players as Eli Holman could be and the amount of playing time and the decision to go else where are secondary to the way he handled the whole episode.
His decision, good or bad, was his to make but the way he has handled himself tells me that Indiana does not want him and will be better off without him. let him go some where else and throw his tantrums and flower pots. It will be his loss not IU's.
"Our staff is going to ensure that anyone who attends this University and wears the Indiana uniform will make this privilege among their highest priorities and not treat the opportunity as an entitlement,'' Crean said. "We fully expect our student-athletes to accept the responsibilities academically, athletically and socially that come with representing one of the top programs in college basketball history."
Damn straight, don't let the door hit you on the way out, guys.
Cleaning house is the best thing. They walked out on IU trying to save the program when KS was dismissed, they are supposedly doing drugs (green wont hurt anyone but dont get caught or let it be known), skipping practices, and failing out of GenEd classes which may cost us more scholarships...all disrespecting the school and the program.
Now the program is open and clean...the HS players can see where they can come in and fill a need and get immediate PT on one of the top programs in the country.
Can someone explain if this saves us from academic penalties?
Who cares about a lost year. This is worth it.
