The NCAA is very
fond of running “student-athlete”
commercials during big basketball and football games. With March Madness coming soon, watch for
them on a screen near you.
The thing of it
is, they’re a joke or a lie when applied to jock-factories (and you know who
you are, and it ain’t Stanford). In
Division I, athletes accommodate their sport at all times, or they don’t stay
athletes for long. In Division III,
sports will accommodate the athlete, if ever the NCAA wants to shoot a
commercial.
Florida is just a
week off now. Clare’s ready to go, but
she wasn’t ready to find herself playing second base at practice
yesterday. That came about because Coach
has to find someone to do it the first four games; the starting second baseman
feels that she can’t afford to miss class.
Hence, the accommodation. The
good news is that #7 should be back in right field for Opening Day. She’s more the last option than the first.
