Yeah, whit and craddock said they cut him for "academic reasons." Who on here knows that they put him in 20 hours of study hall per week, on top of practice and going to class? Plus, he was not academically ineligible at any point, if you want to talk about poor academics, ask laura cummings about her 1.4 last semester. No one on this board knows what it is like to run at UNC. Athletes are treated horribly after being promised future scholarships, etc. The coaches use "if you score consistently at ACCs or win an ACC championship then we'll put you on scholarship or increase your scholarship" as a recruiting tool. Just ask Clay Ragan, Andy Craycraft or Jeff Peterson if this is true. Everyone should recognize UNC's retention rate of track athletes. Pablo durana was the only athlete from the NINE in his class to make it all four years. Clay was the only one of FOUR his year to make it into his fourth year.
