I don't understand why the reason he skipped class in this case is a big deal. Did he receive any improper benefits? I don't think so. So in the NCAA's mind if I'm an athlete and skip class to go to the strip club, play X-box, go golfing, etc. that's ok. But I go help out in a charitable sort of way (even though professional athletes are involved), I do not receive any improper benefits, and that is not OK!!! I just don't understand! Skipping class is still skipping class whatever the reason. The NCAA has their collective heads up their butts!
Did he miss one class, a day of classes, or a series of classes throughout the week. Again what grade did he earn!!! Many times I didn't go to a class but a couple of times and received an "A" because I studied my a$$ off. I know the rule is in place to insure that athlete's earn their grades by going to class, but their has to be a voice of common sense here. Oh, I forgot we are dealing with the NCAA...guess that is a lost cause.
