I don't know how anyone who has played a team sport could possibly not have a problem with this. He is walking out on his team in the middle of the season. He is team captain nonetheless.  Lame! I think he will later in life regret this decision.

Couldn't agree more.  Extremely disappointed in him.  And I thought the '80s were the "me" generation.  Get some insurance if needed, but don't abandon your team.  Darrin Nelson would have played. Plunkett would have played. Elway would have played. Gerhart would have played. Luck would have played. Thousands of guys over the years with more heart than fame would have played.  And you can bet the Farm that Bryce Love will play, and play his heart out.

Unfortunately gotta say I agree here.  Whole family looking forward to see CMac go out in a blaze of glory.  It helped cement our decision to go.  Now 5 plane tickets have been purchased, hotel rooms reserved, tickets from Stanford bought.  Of course we're going to cheer on all the Stanford Cardinal there, but leaves a bit of a sour taste.  Of course it's his body and his career, but still doesn't sit right :(
