Wow, what a week! Kansas ticket scandal. Major violations at UConn. Talk of Oklahoma getting the death penalty!
How could Kentucky not be far behind? Trouble just follows Calipari everywhere!

Come on Run. We all know Calipari has never done anything wrong. :o

Will have to say one thing about NCAA - this is so similar to the Derrick Rose situation. Both he and Bledsoe were cleared to play, so if this ends the same way - with UK having to vacate the 2009-10 season, then the NCAA will have to admit to some problems that need to be rectified so that ineligible players aren’t allowed to suit up in the first place!

The NCAA needs to tie any violations to the coach as well as to the school, so that if they coach somewhere else, they still have some kind of penalty, however minor.
i wish they would have made the final four
Agree 100%.
Agree 100%.[/quote] Many people have expressed this sentiment. It makes a great deal on sense, but I’m unhappily resigned to the fact that the NCAA isn’t going to do anything to hurt the likes of Calipari. He is, after all, very good for business and business is what its all about.

Yeah, but the only reason the NCAA does nothing about things like this is so that the power schools keep getting the players they want.
They won’t do a darn thing to UK. They may kill the record but who cares, the asses were already in the seats and the TV money in the pocket. So they pay back the NCAA tourney money- no issue at all to UK.
Give them the 2 years of not being tourney eligilbe and take 5 schollies if you’re serious, but they won’t. The NCAA is scrotumless and Cal will be long gone for the millions to coach LeBron. I would guess that’s about a done deal at this point- only way Cal escapes.
Pitiful, and everyone knows he does it. Pitiful.
Will be interesting to see what the NCAA does with the high profile cases - USC, UConn, Oklahoma, Kansas, and now Kentucky. Won’t have to wait long as the Trojans (both football and men’s hoops) will discover their fate later this week.
calipari’s shadiness makes him a perfect fit for the nba.
And we, the NCAA, will punish USC by putting UC-Irvine on 10 years probation.
How dare the Ncaa question the good name of Calimari? :))
