Thank you for your support.

On Monday, November 25^th, at 8^am these student-athletes climbed out of the pool
after their 6-8^am practice.  They planned to spend their day attending classes, 
taking exams, studying, finishing papers, going back to afternoon practice,...
At 8:08^am they received an email notifying them of a meeting with the
Athletic Director at 9^am.  Most of these student-athletes were at
breakfast.  The few that read the email went to THE meeting.

Now, the parents of these student-athletes are receiving letters
advising them that their sons and daughters are being counseled.
Counseled as to how to transfer to a different college,
how to concentrate for final exams, how to go on with life...

The letter offers "My staff is ready to help them in any way possible" and 
"If you have any other specific ideas about how we might offer support, please let me know."

For suggestions - read some of these letters of support (more to come).
