Now the Hartford Courant is chiming in on the Patrick Witt situation at Yale. The Courant also has a column that includes this:

The reason Witt became a national story in the first place was because of his difficult decision, one based on the most glorious aspects of student-athletics. Either it was his to make or it wasn't.
