As the mother of Eric Blair, I feel that I need to make a statement regarding the recent developments that have occurred regarding the charges filed against the students regarding Eric’s death. I wholeheartedly agree with The State News’ editorial “Dangerous” (SN 3/27).

Once again a college athlete is considering ending his education in the pursuit of hoop dreams. Sophomore point guard Marcus Taylor has added his name to a growing list of MSU athletes who forgo their college careers to enter the NBA Draft.

It’s not the fact that Taylor might not be around to satisfy Spartan fans’ hunger for another national title; we are sad because Taylor stands to give up on his education. We are not mad at Taylor for considering his options, but we are infuriated by the culture of America’s professional sports world that holds dollar signs as more valuable than education. On the bright side, Taylor has created options for himself by choosing not to have an agent.
The pretrial hearing Wednesday for Spartan defensive end Clifford Dukes was adjourned.
