Who's to blame?

Who’s to blame??? I was scanning the paper this week and noticed a picture that I recognized. His name is Travis Kreiter and we went to the same high school. I read the title “Bradley freshman golfer rendered ineligible by NCAA.” You see Travis worked so hard to be the golf 2008 IHSA class 1A state champion. He would practice for hours a day. I don’t think that the scholarship committee is being very fair. Apparently Travis had two classes he took his junior year that didn’t qualify for the scholarship; his English class and his math class. In order to qualify for the NCAA scholarship you need 16 core classes and Travis had 14 ½. I think it is especially unfair for Travis because he wouldn’t have gone to Bradley University if he wasn’t getting the scholarship. He said he was more likely to go to I.C.C. because he couldn’t afford to go to Bradley. And the fact that he was thinking he had a scholarship for $20,000, and one month later they tell him he’s not getting the scholarship. So now he’s getting a $32,000 tuition bill, which he does not want to pay. Now the question is; who’s to blame? Is it the school’s fault for not letting him know his classes weren’t eligible for the scholarship, is it the NCAA for not making it clear to him that he needed to take 2 more classes to be eligible. or is it Travis Kreiter’s fault for not making sure he had every class he needed for the scholarship. I don’t really know if there’s a person to “blame” but I think they all could have done things differently to make sure he was getting what he deserved. I love that Travis is having a positive attitude toward everything and not blowing up at the schools. Travis said, and I quote “There is no use staying mad because I know I didn’t do anything wrong and it’s out of my hands.” I totally agree with him, the sitiuation is in the past and there's nothing you can do now. You just have to keep looking forward and believe that everything will work out.
