I was really amazed as well. The writer seemed at times to not know which side he was on. Was it good to value school over a vacuous publicity opportunity, or not? In the end, he came down on the side of the publicity opportunity. What makes this so absurd is that the players are all told, as if they already didn't know it, to stay away from controversy or anything substantive about their team. I suspect Bryce Love could have made the trip if he really, really wanted to. I also suspect that, having done it once, he regarded it as a mindless exercise that he didn't need to or desire to participate in. Been There, Done That, Didn't Like It. He will have to answer enough "stupid" questions during the year. Why miss a class for an early start on it?
