My condolences to Luke and the rest of his family. Sad that his grandfather didn't get to see Luke play at Illinois, but at least I hope Luke was able to spend more time with him and create some additional good memories.
On one hand, this sounds like sour grapes. On the other hand, it is unfortunately probably 100% true.He should have gone to Ohio State. NCAA would have allowed and OSU would have furnished a private jet to fly grandfather to games and NCAA would have somehow missed it.
Man, this is sad.
It seems like every single thing the NCAA can do to lose the press battle (not to mention just be decent and fair), they do.
Decent and fair rank behind money and ego...that is true many places, not just NCAA..the NCAA just likes to sell that it's all for the students.
