Is Shaw happy, sad, or just accepting?

I think you can read into a lot about how Shaw feels about this by what he DIDN'T say.  He didn't say he supports the decision - he said he understands it.  He didn't say he agrees with it either.

My guess is we will never know how Shaw, most of the coaches, or most of the players felt.  And those we do hear from will be long gone from Stanford by the time we do.
