UKPat02 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I slept on it and I still feel the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPat02 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 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?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoondockSaint Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hangman Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 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...

pigman Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPat02 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigman Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKPat02 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SvFan4life Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 ^ Wanting to leave a school because of a shooting does not make him a jerk simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Horse Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
