Yesterday Dennis Dodd wrote an article that was about 20% dumb and 80% whiny about star Stanford running back Bryce Love having the temerity to Skype into the Pac-12 Media Day instead of being there in person.
Love didn't want to miss summer classes, and so he didn't. Dodd took exception to that.
Put it this way: Try to envision Tim Tebow in his heyday skipping SEC Media Days of because, well, school. Right or wrong, that wouldn't have happened. The need to better himself, the conference and his school would have outstripped another summer school lecture.
