I hope you are not insinuating that Wash-U neglects academics in favor of making sure its basketball program remains successful. I'm told that the university doesn't recruit players who score less than a 30 on the ACT. For those of you who haven't taken the ACT, a 30 is an exceptional score. That is climbing a mountain in rarified air, very near the summit of perfection. I thought I did well when I scored a 21 on it many, many moons ago. So, on that point, don't imply that Wash-U recruits players that can't spell "cat" by spotting them the "c" and the "t".
Secondly, if you are still seething about the eligibility of Jaimie McFarlin, the Most Outstanding Player of last year's Final Four, just because she was granted a 5th season via a red-shirt situation...well, you need to take that up with the NCAA. It gave McFarlin and Sean Wallis 5th seasons because they lost nearly all of a season due to injury. Go take your troubles and put them on the NCAA's doorstep.
Amherst certainly deserves its newly-won national championship. The Lord Jeffs played exceptional defense and made some gutsy shots to earn the title. But, don't try and sully Wash-U's championship last season with subtle and flawed innuendo, while you celebrate Amherst's. That dog won't hunt or even get off the porch.
