In a text message to this media outlet, Tom Whitehead stated that he and the NCAA had reached an agreement for his reinstatement. He will donate the nickel he earned as a professional wiffleball player to charity; namely, a charity aimed at helping struggling, young lads in Whitehead’s hometown.
Whitehead’s donation blessed the lives of two boys. Whitehead watched, via the Internet, as the two boys named Dante’ and Briton received checks for 2 1/2 cents.
“It feels good to give back,” said Whitehead.
Commissioner Norm stated Whitehead was not giving back.
“They took what was his and gave it to someone else,” he said. “That’s not giving back; it’s paying taxes.”
No reaction was recorded yet from Omaha.
“Just wait five minutes and then someone will post this on a Creighton basketball blog, and then all of Omaha will read it,” said Norm.
“Can we just get back to wiffleball?” asked Lee. “Tom’s not that interesting. I mean, it’s Tom.”
