Yeah it sucks that they wouldn't admit him, but I respect the university for not admitting him. If he was not a basketball player, would he be accepted or rejected?

I agree with this, but then he should not have been told in the first place that he qualified, and then, "...Oops! Guess the coach didn't hear about the new rules..."
The coach not told about the new rules?!?! give me a break!! This is just plain mean to the kid. There is some other issue that hasn't been mentioned here, and the kid should not be the pawn in some game he's never heard of.

Jules- The kid looked at the web site and saw that he didn't pass muster. I don't think it is mean, I think it has taught him to be more responsible. I know when I was looking for a school I made darn sure I knew what would or would not make me eligible for admission. In fact enrollment is so high at my old school they are now analyzing final semester grades. If you drop at the end you are dropped (I would have been screwed).
