God - I'm only 12 years or so removed from high school, and I can obviously still remember the anxiety of starting my senior year (baseball) and how, while I rode the pine as Junior, this was my shot to start. All the offseason workouts, the after-school lifting, the early morning conditioning... to have that taken away, I just couldn't imagine. At least at the college level, they have the option now to come back for another year (and with this job market, wow... I'd do a 1-year master's in acctg or finance if I had already enough credits to graduate). But in high school - you miss this, you miss this for life. I don't know if we are fully comprehending that loss yet.
