    Column: Some thoughts on the seniors who just saw their college athletic careers ended in a most stunning and random way Thursday -- one in particular. You deserved a better sendoff, kids.http://bit.ly/2TMqrws

        Sincerely appreciate all the feedback on this column. I have heard from so many college coaches and administrators who said the sudden, season-ending meetings yesterday were just heartbreaking, seeing the disappointment in their athletes — especially the seniors.

        A better story for them to tell their kids is that they survived a global pandemic

        If any of them got sick the school would be bankrupt from all the lawsuits and shaming??? It's called higher education, the rest is window dressing.

        Let's hope the NCAA offers a one-time waiver to play next year to seniors who had their season's stolen from them by the virus.

        They’d have to increase the total amount of scholarships available, because freshman have already signed for those spots next season

        So true. So many kids without a “next level” just lost the end of their everything. To some it is trivial, but to them it was everything.
