Storming the Floor

“Larry Eustachy will probably never hear the end of the jokes about his past – the public drinking with students during road trips that led to his downfall at Iowa State.

But that was nine years ago. Nine. Years.

If we revel in the fall of a celebrity, because it makes them “just like us”, then shouldn’t we respect the second chance on an even deeper level?

Iowa State F Royce White to Enter 2012 NBA Draft

krishughes:

In an announcement that should surprise few, Iowa State sophomore guard/forward Royce White has signed with an agent and announced his intent to be eligible for the 2012 NBA Draft.

Although players have the option to back out from the draft by April 10th should they choose not to sign with an agent, White’s eligibility has been ended by doing so and he cannot return to Iowa State.
