This is a very wise decision by the HOF Board. However, one good decision does not really warrant "rebuke" status. I would suggest the Board has offered itself a temporary reprieve from further bashing...for now.
Some felt that some of the youth changes were good, others not so much. Some people may feel the same about this.
If this decision were to be the start of some better decision-making by USBC, decisions that represent and benefit its members, than we may be able to look back at this day as a turning point. For now though, it would seem to be an anomaly.
