The Tribune Co.’s efforts to put the Cubs in bankruptcy so they can be sold reached an unexpected roadblock this week when former infielder Shawon Dunston filed an objection to the bankruptcy because the Cubs are still contractually obligated to pay his tuition should he ever decide to go to college. Dunston has not expressed interest in attending college, but he would like to make sure the money is there for him anyway. Basically, he wants the Cubs to pay him up front while they are still under a contractual obligation to do so. It’s actually a pretty smart move on Dunston’s part. I wonder which college-educated fan told him to do it.
