The Springfield College men's volleyball team avenged a thrashing Harvard handed them February at the Malkin Athletic Center by handing the Crimson a stinging straight-set defeat in Springfield Wednesday night.
What came between the freshman and a Bermuda tan were NCAA regulations concerning intercollegiate athletic "extra benefits" and "amateurism."
As for the NCAA's rule on amateurism, Devlin said that no Division I and II athletes can win prizes from contests involving athletic ability, or else the student-athlete becomes a professional player and cannot participate in NCAA competition.
Reardon said that universities and the NCAA should be more concerned with the moral character of a school's coach and athletic director, rather than "lots of little violations most people don't pay attention to."
Devlin said that Blasetti's case is under review by the NCAA, since he had already completed his college athletic career before he had won the shoot, and therefore was not concerned with eligibility for further athletic competition.
