You don't have to like NC State to recognize what a-holes the NCAA folks are for denying Henderson a chance to play.
I won't link it but this quote pretty much nails it:
So in the case of Terry Henderson, cruelly denied a sixth year at N.C. State in apparent violation of both recent precedent and human decency, the guideline to remember is that these rules are in place for a reason. Schools want to discourage transfers by making players sit out a year (and continue to seek acceptable ways to neuter the grad-transfer rule), so the NCAA enforces the letter of the law.
I know there will be temptation to say "how does it feel to get screwed by the NCAA" but I'm just focusing on the player, who (as far as I can tell) was never anything but a quality presence on that team and did everything he could to be eligible. I mean, come on, the kid was sidelined with an injury in the very first game after sitting out his transfer season.
