The New York Knicks' championship parade is scheduled for Thursday, the same day New York State students must sit for Regents exams, a scheduling collision that has left young fans frustrated. "Honestly, it sucks," one student told reporters. The timing means thousands of basketball-crazy teenagers in the tri-state area will be stuck in exam halls while their team celebrates on Fifth Avenue. State education officials have not indicated whether exam dates might shift to accommodate the unexpected championship.
