May 15, 200719 yr Also, you think it's possible (however low it may be) that some coach or booster is in his ear saying "Are you sure you want to go there?"
May 15, 200719 yr People didn't flee NYC. People are still riding the subway in London. One crazy kid is going to stop you from fulfulling your commitment to a university? This is one player. You don't think that one person moved out of New York afterwards? Give me a break. Everybody deals with tragedy in different ways and none of us are in any position to judge him.
May 15, 200719 yr This is one player. You don't think that one person moved out of New York afterwards? Give me a break. Everybody deals with tragedy in different ways and none of us are in any position to judge him. But he's not dealing with the tragedy...he's avoiding it. That doesn't make it go away.
May 15, 200719 yr Author He wasn't at the school, it's not like he's transferring out of the mess... If you had a job waiting for you in New York City and the 9/11 attacks happened, I wouldn't think you were a horrible person if you backed out of the deal...

May 16, 200719 yr But he's not dealing with the tragedy...he's avoiding it. That doesn't make it go away. Why should he have to deal with it?
May 16, 200719 yr Why should he have to deal with it? Because the school offered him a free education and he accepted it. Stepping out now makes him seem selfish to me...
May 16, 200719 yr As far as I know until he attends class they haven't spent a dime on him. I would agree if he was already there he should stay, but since he isn't I don't have a problem with it.
May 16, 200719 yr So now that we're morally aligned, will BG be courting him? No, sounds like he'll be prepping now that's he's seemingly come up with a good excuse to opt out... http://blog.news-record.com/staff/sportsextra/archives/2007/05/the_strange_cas.html
May 16, 200719 yr Listen, if he preps and then honors his committment to VT, then I'll apologize for what I've said about him. If he preps then goes to another school, I'll think he's a jerk.
May 16, 200719 yr ^ Wanting to leave a school because of a shooting does not make him a jerk simple as that.
May 16, 200719 yr I know a couple of people who were going there and had alot of academic help money wise from the school and they are transfering and i dont consider them bad people or Jerks. If the kid doesnt feel safe there he shouldnt go thats the bottom line. You go were you feel at home.
