Yesterday's NY Times feature on Purdue Basketball asked a question in its headline that got an answer.
Also, I've never met an illegitimate child just like I've never met a unicorn. They don't exist. And----- I entirely understand a college student with the possibility of a professional career and improving the circumstances of a current or future family sitting out games to avoid injury. I think it can be a tactically smart team move for a professional player to sit out if not needed to improve play in later games. These can be viewed as selfless acts, not selfish.
It's entirely normal for pro athletes to sit out games ahead of the postseason. Baseball teams routinely play lineups of bench players after they clinch a playoff berth. And yeah, when a school acts in its financial self-interest to makes millions off the unpaid labor of student athletes it has little standing to complain when the student athlete acts in their own financial self-interest.
There's nothing wrong with Purdue's basketball team that a state-of-the-art $65 million training facility wouldn't solve. Look what it did for the football team!
