There may be no better recent example of the needless malice of the NCAA than Ben Stanley. Stanley left his initial college home of Hampton looking for better basketball opportunities but, more importantly to him, a place where he could learn in person. Stanley believed that, due to struggles he has learning, in person learning was vital to his success. Ben didn’t just verbalize this a couple of times, he wrote the NCAA a letter explaining it. The search for in person learning in his major landed him at Xavier. The NCAA, true to form, waited until the eleventh hour and then denied his request for immediate eligibility.
