Cheating case entangles athletes at Harvard

Basketball star leaving, aims for eligibility later

Harvard University basketball star Kyle Casey is voluntarily withdrawing from school for the year and will miss the entire season because he is one of about 125 students suspected of cheating on a take-home final exam, according to a person with direct knowledge of Casey’s decision.

Casey, a senior cocaptain and the team’s leading scorer, is not the only prominent athlete to be touched by the cheating scandal. Fellow cocaptain Brandyn Curry is also expected to leave, according to SI.com.

These are smart young men with their future still ahead. They didn't murder anyone, or steal someone's wallet, or corrupt minor children. It's none of our business who they are or how Harvard is handling their transgressions.

The media are clamoring to expose who they are and what's happening to them, without any regard to the harm that might cause. It will accomplish nothing other than possibly satisfying some people's prurient curiousity. We used to try to protect young people from scandal and notoriety. We used to be a society with a collective heart, but we seem to have lost it somewhere.
