John Beilein did the right thing. The Michigan basketball coach today removed all transfer restrictions for departing players Spike Albrecht and Ricky Doyle.
One could say “Well, yeah, what choice did he have?” But let me assure you, he had plenty. Public figures do the wrong thing all the time.
Shame or no shame. Outrage or no outrage. Facts or no facts. And boy, do we love to deny facts. Let’s face it, we live in an era of widespread cognitive dissonance, an era dominated by fact deniers.
Thankfully, Beilein isn’t one of them.
