Posted by: Bisonic on Fri Apr 25 2008 12:42:06 PM Message: You're trying to make it an academic thing - it isn't. This kid is voluntarily leaving CU. He's the 7th scholarship player in 12 months to do so, 8th overall. Imagine if half the football team left the program. ESPN would have a 40 foot RV on campus reporting on it for weeks. Marcus Hall returned after the same deal. It happens, and he's getting his degree.
