Thank You Eddy Landreth

I do not want Tyler Hansborough to leave UNC, but I agree with Mr. Landreth that the physical abuse he has taken over the past couple of years became intolerable in Sunday's game against Duke. I listened with total disbelief as the CBS commentators assured us all that Gerald Henderson's elbow in Tyler's face was really an accident occuring during a legitimate attempt to capture a lose ball.
The ACC should be ashamed of itself for not protecting its most prized assets: its players.

Either clean it up or petition the NBA to let these guys go pro right out of high school again. At least they could bank several million for whatever punishment they may endure.

The whole affair is disgusting and shameful, and that would be the case no matter which teams were playing and no matter which kid took the beating. It's just plain wrong.
