Firstly, Former Fetus, thanks for posting this article. Your point about these rules triggering abortions is well made and should be taken into consideration by potential student athletes as well as the appropriate rule making bodies.
Now for the rant.

Yeah, OK, she’s going to lose her scholarship just as her contract laid out—a contract she freely signed. Fine, that’s reasonable.
Them’s the rules.
What I don’t get is why so many of you have to be a lot of self-righteous holier-than-thou SOB’s about it.
Liek, OMG, she had SEX, that HUSSY!
There’s really no need to impress the rest of the internet with your opinion of her virtuosity. I don’t see why it’s necessary. Maybe throwing off on people like her lets you elevate yourselves in your own minds. Regardless of the motive, this sort of asinine behavior is just what puts some people off of conservatism in the first place.
Please feel free to knock it off at any time.
Sheesh.

Hmmm. Gotta watch that word choice. "Virtue" would indicate whether or not the young lady in question had sex. "Virtuosity" would be more appropriate to a discussion of how good she was at it. =]
