There is still integrity in NCAA Coaches!: Yeah, I know this in only division 3 soccer. However, having an elite soccer team self report an infraction that they could have gotten away with shows unbelievable ethics. It is also nice to see that W&L gets to move on.
I don't get it...

"We are still hoping for an at-large bid to the national tournament," said VWC President William T. Greer. "There is one huge guarantee however, and that is that Coach Travis has taught a group of young men, and I might add all of us, something about integrity, something about doing the right thing, no matter what the cost. I have always been proud of Sonny Travis and the kind of athletic program he oversees as our athletic director, but I can tell you that my admiration for him and my respect for him has risen even higher in the past 48 tough hours. He has shown us all integrity with a capital "I." He hasn't taught these young men anything of the sort. He's taught them that if you want to succeed in life, you have to bend the rules and get away with whatever you can. I applaud the coach's integrity though. I hope I would have done the same in his shoes, but I can't guarantee it.

What? That play anything other than lacrosse in Lexington? Actually, this story is a nice complement to what the Michigan is doing right now. Oh. I almost forgot. Go Generals!
