Ralph Hill had his chances - under two different coaches - to elevate his play to the level the coaches and fans expect from the program. He fell short in that regard, though (we assume) he gave it his best shot. Life isn't always fair, but RH did get a two year free ride (which is two years more than I got).

I'm sure that is just how his scholarship offer was presented to him when UD offered him 3 years ago. UD owes it to him to honor their commitment if he has done nothing to dishonor the school, team etc.
I'm glad so many are willing to throw ethics and commitment out the window for the hope of a few more NCAA invites. Pragmatism never wins.
I hardly think it is the RH's over the years that have kept UD out of the tourney. Those that believe that are delusional. What it has been is a failure of the coaches and the 8-10 core players to get the job done.
Funny how many of the same people dogging people who don't want to see UD go down this road are the same ones quick to criticize X, UC, Calipari etc. for their shady practices.
We all have our lines we don't want the university to cross. I happen to believe the adults in this situation should be the more responsible, ethical, honest and above reproach in all situations and should always put the student athletes best interests ahead of any personal or corporate goals.
