Pitre dish

Here is the story I wrote on Bruins fullback Michael Pitre being denied his sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA.
One interesting thing I didn't include in the story (for space reasons) was Pitre could have appealed the decision, but didn't want to deal with the uncertainty that could have caused.
Pitre likely would not have learned about his fate until after the NFL draft, and that would have put him in a very difficult position. By choosing to sign with an agent, Pitre now has six weeks or so to network and let teams know he is available.
