I think he would be a good fit with squid.

When does the NCAA plan on investigating??

I’m inclined to think that the Auburn-like stories are a lot closer to the truth. Then again, maybe he isn’t doing any of that at UK — I have no clue, but there are certainly rumors (from sources without an axe to grind) that would suggest this sort of thing isn’t even the tip of the iceberg.

between this and what Kelvin Sampson did at IU? Impermissible phone calls to recruits, that’s the alleged violation, right?

Ultimately its the coaches responsibility to ensure all of HIS staff are abiding by all of the NCAA rules and regulations. Now I understand that there may be a time when a rouge staffer goes outside the lines and committs an infraction. So im all for giving someone a second chance especially when they didnt personally committ the violation…….

 My issue is that its already happened TWICE…. Yeah he may not have personally committed the infractions however he already had is second chance and he blew that at Memphis.

Its almost like I could tell an employee to go rob a bank and bring me back the money. When the cops show up I say “well I didnt have anything to do with it”….. Ohh and not to mention its not the first time its the 3rd….LOL

Is how the NCAA ever expects to have any power over coaches when they dont hold them accountable. Of course if a coach knows all they have to do is pull the " I didnt know card " to get away with rules violations they are going to do so. To me the NCAA is currently giving incentive for coaches to pawn off the job of actually committing the infractions to their assistants and staff.

Although you can find both the NCAA-Miles UConn story and a story on Sypher’s extortion trial. Are they going to refuse to report on it because another news source developed the story? I don’t get it. This seems newsworthy.

Recently John Calipari got upset at a reporter when asked if he was excited about getting to his first final four, and he appeared visually upset by that question because he believes that he has actually been to 2 previous legitimate final fours. That being said, what would this season have looked like for U of L if Justin Coleman weren’t academically ineligible – maybe having another great athlete taller than 6’4" could have helped us with rebounding and getting to the basket. There have been tons of players who have become academically ineligible for many schools over the years that could have provided a signficant difference in their seasons. If Memphis didn’t have an academically ineligible Derek Rose (because his ACT/SAT score didn’t qualify him), do you think they would have made it to the Championship game? Didn’t think so…

And I also think it’s hilarious that UK fans would bash Conference USA when U of L was in it, but praise it now that Calipari is coach at UK (and the only time Memphis had any real domination was when U of L, Depaul, Cincinnati, Marquette, and USF left for the Big East).

Calhoun should be the one concerned

And Crawford was pretty gentle with UK. He pointed out that what is going on with UConn sounds potentially worse.

I felt a little guilty this morning about celebrating UK’s loss in light of some of the classier UK posters who appeared here after the Morehead loss to congratulate us on a great year. And for those fans, congratulations on your Final Four and the great year you had. But for the legions of UK fans who feel compelled to lash out anytime a columnist dares to discuss potential NCAA violations and who live to put down Louisville (5th-best team in the state, Tardinals, little brudder, etc.), well, I’m glad those fans had to taste defeat last night. Because it is those people who would have made it unbearable if UK had won it all this year.
