Yeah, tough to take. But I'm willing to give Lavin a lot of latitude on this, as we all know NCAA decision making is a totally unclear. The status labels for player eligibility is such a grey area. Lavin probably felt in his gut that the NCAA wouldn't penalize someone who clearly exhibited a case of hardship. Lavin is probably still holding out hope, it is his can-do positive style. I'm hopeful too, although psychologically I've already come to terms that Sanchez won't ever play for us.
