[OT] football kevin rooney

[Rita 00]

fyi...
on the jim rome radio show today (being hosted by john feinstein) they had an interview with DE kevin rooney. Kevin is lobbying for 5th year of football. He red-shirted his freshman year due to injury, but because he graduated a semester early (and with 3.89 gpa!), and some ivy league rules about when you enroll in a graduate program and undergraduate status, he currently is ineligble for a 5th year. feinstein was trying to help rooney in his cause.

It does seem unfair because by all accounts, rooney was an excellent example of STUDENT-athlete (and very articulate in the interview).
