Mick-
It is clear that you and I view this differently. Yes I can conceive of it, they do it to coaches, why wouldn't they do it to other players. I am not trying to change your mind, I just do not get this indignation from the fans.

One other thought...if you look at the rosters of non-revenue sports, you will often see a marked decline in seniors.  Take the Stanford men's VB roster.  Six frosh, five sophs, three juniors, three redshirt juniors, one redshirt senior.  That's fairly typical, at least as I understand it.  As players get closer to graduation, they drop off the team, either due to injuries, lack of playing time, lack of interest.  But no one pays to watch them, and no one cares if someone quits.

Look, I've been a big fan of CMAC's over the years, I genuinely hope he does great.  I just thinking he made the wrong, purely selfish decision here.
