so, you'd drive 14 hours, spend the money on gas, skip classes, maybe even tests, possibly screwing up your entire semester at school, and then possibly costing you more money to be in school longer, and possibly even making it harder to get a job someday?
I'd enjoy playing in the tournament, if I were home. However it's just dumb to drive all that way, and all the possible problems and setbacks it could cause.
