I'm sobbing on the inside.
Thanks for the news, Lou.

I feel so bad for him, and this team. It’s like we just couldn’t catch a break this season, between injuries, some close games and questionable officiating. He has had a great career here, but it ended too soon. I know all wildcat fans are very grateful to Brooks for his contributions to the program And the school.

Man is he a tough guy and great player, one of the all time greats. We’ll miss him for sure! Now heal up, Brooks and figure out a way to get to the NBA!

One of the best players in this program, ever, in multiple ways. Gutted for him. Grateful to him. Proud to have rooted for him these years.

 

[CatManTrue]

Awful news. He was a great player.

 

[Baz=Heisman]

So gutted for him. A total warrior who played his ass off every game. Helped us in a major way to get us to 2 NCAAT, 2 NCAAT wins, a 2nd and 4th place B1G finish… hoping we can somehow get another season of eligibility for him but it doesn’t sound like it, unfortunately.

One more year would be glorious. Has been a blast watching him play.

 

[TheC]

Just a cursed season. The early injury recoveries holding us back, the close losses in different forms and now this. Such a fine line we tread as a program at Northwestern. It beats the hell out of the old days, but it is still tough.

Feel bad for Brooks and his teammates, but they'll be ok in the long run. Seem like high quality human beings who have the whole world in front of them.

 

[GatoLouco]

Going too hard personified. Respect.

 

[DaCat]

Awful awful news. Feel bad for Barney. This sucks, bad karma strikes again.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

What’s worse than a gut punch in sports? A kick in the teeth? A headshot?

What an underserved finish to the career of this battling warrior of a player. As somebody with no personal relationship with anybody in the basketball program whatsoever, I feel robbed of the opportunity to enjoy watching Brooks exemplify Northwestern basketball and celebrate the last six weeks of his NU career. Just sorrowful news.

Any chance for a waiver???? Guessing no but NCAA is on its heels these days, so worth a shot?
