My only challenge is if, and it's a big if, he verbally committed to ND. If he was sincere and told

ND he was good and then reneged, I have a problem with that only from the standpoint I'm a handshake, verbal agreement kind of guy. Yes, life is short and he should do what's best for him, but a person also has to honor his word. Just as I'm not a fan of a school pulling a scholarship, I can't endorse a kid being, as we used to say, an Indian Giver. If Moore said he was high on ND but didn't commit, then I fault Rees and Freeman. We may never know the full details, but something went awry.
