I really hate to see people part with something that is so inextricably tied to pride in our University and in the athletic program, but I think we all need to step back and consider all the possibilities before being so judgmental. We don't know this person and don't know what kind of hard times this guy has come upon. Clearly, he's not playing for the NFL, so his financial situation might be extremely bad right now.
If you had that ring (as your last valuable asset) and your child needed life-saving surgery, or you and your family were about to get evicted from your home, or your grandmother died and needed a proper funeral, wouldn't you sell it too?
Sure there's a chance this guy just doesn't feel attached to it and the profit he seeks isn't motivated by any sort of emergency or necessity, but all I'm saying is that we shouldn't assume that's the case every time we see one of these things on Ebay.
