Myles Brand watch

I saw this story last week and didn't have time to comment on it. Many of the colleges and universities in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama have had to suspend classes because of Hurricane Katrina. Most of those have cancelled the fall semester. The NCAA is worried about these "student athletes". So in order to allow them to still play, they have decided to let students of those universities compete without being enrolled in classes. But they will not let students transfer and play at other universities without sitting out of sports for a year. So in the best interest of the "student athlete" and to prevent "athletic looting" students may play without taking classes but if they transfer to take classes they can't play. Way to watch out for the students Myles.
