Sometimes things just don't work out, for whatever reason(s), and it's stupid that we penalize kids and/or allow schools to hold them hostage because they chose the wrong school/coach/situation when they were 17.

The only part that I think is truly petty is how they changed his bio info.

When they deleted his 2015 bio, it defaulted back to his old one. The funny part

Coaches should be forced to get permission before moving on to a new job or wait a year

Agreed. These kids are treated like the University's own them.

Coaches are employees. Should we start taxing athete's scholarships as well?

The height stuff is kindof petty but Collettes deserves the rest.
