OPINION

Ohio University appeals the judgment of the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (BAP) discharging Hawkins from a debt resulting from a judgment against her for breach of contract with the university. The BAP held that this debt and the resulting judgment did not meet the criteria for a loan or educational benefit that are excluded from discharge under 11 U.S.C. § 523 (a)(8).

We adopt the opinion of the BAP, which is reported at 317 B.R. 104 , and affirm its judgment.
