Bahn: NCAA Appeal Denied, But No Denying Impact Michael Dyer Has Had On Red Wolves

The Ragin’ Cajuns are getting a good one.
Quotable:
After Nkemdiche's demand hit the web, the criticism was as predictable as it was tired: Nkemdiche was a prima donna, blackmailing Clemson to suit his own desires. Never mind that Nkemdiche aimed to help a friend. Never mind that the system in college football is stacked ludicrously against the high-schooler and in favor of the millionaire coach.
It's always hilarious when people criticize athletes for something they would do every day and twice on Sunday in their own lives. No one who has ever used leverage in a negotiation has any right to rip Nkemdiche here. Used another job offer to squeeze a raise out of your employer? Same concept. Used a connection to get a friend hired? Ditto. When you do it, you're being a good capitalist, but when Nkemdiche does it, he's being a spoiled, entitled brat? That's crazy. Nkemdiche is doing exactly what he should do: using the power he has to his advantage before he enters a system in which he'll have little pull. (This also might be a good place to note that, according to figures provided to the U.S. Department of Education, Clemson football generated $31.7 million in revenue during the 2010-11 school year.)
