Bunch Of Quitters!!!
St. Bonaventure announced Tuesday that it will forgo the remaining games on its men's basketball schedule at Massachusetts on Wednesday at home against Dayton on Saturday.
St. Bonaventure's players and coaches did not board their charter bus to Amherst, Mass., on Tuesday after holding a meeting to decide whether they wanted to continue their season. A day earlier, the program was told it must forfeit six Atlantic 10 victories for using an ineligible player.
"We are extremely disappointed that St. Bonaventure has taken this action," Atlantic 10 commissioner Linda Bruno said in a statement. "The Atlantic 10 Presidents Council will discuss the university's decision at their April 1 meeting."
The Atlantic 10 barred the Bonnies from participating in the conference's postseason tournament after stripping them of the six wins.
St. Bonaventure's games have been in question since last week when the school declared junior center Jamil Terrell ineligible for failing to meet NCAA junior college transfer guidelines. The Associated Press reported that school officials, who said they were petitioning the A-10 to have Terrell reinstated, declined to say what guidelines he might have failed to meet.

This really pisses me off. I know how pissed the players must be feeling about this whole thing...but you shouldn't quit the season for that! :angry:
