This was not clear to the family.
So I have some speculation but in this case, Bronco may have goofed. And the loss of this player has nothing to do with honor code, grades or anything else, but team expectations and perhaps a missed judgment of the commitment of a player. I wish Bronco had gone the extra mile. We didn't gain anything by him releasing the scholarship and he should have tried as the kid was already invested and he is a special talent. Again, Bronco won't always get it right.
