One of the surprises of last weekβs NCAA convention was that the UAβs 20 student-athlete representatives, one for each sport, voted 18-2 against guaranteeing scholarships for four years. (The NCAA approved that measure.) It reflects on UA coaches. It means they have been fair in dealing with athletes, not chasing them off campus and making them feel disposable year to year. Athletic directorΒ Greg ByrneΒ was accompanied at the Washington, D.C., convention by Wildcat softball playerΒ Chelsea Suitos, who was one of 80 invited student-athletes. Suitos, who started 49 games for Arizona last season, has been an exemplary student as well as a .300-hitting ballplayer. She has a double-major in family studies and human development and also worked as a Nike intern over the summer.Β
