Isn’t this like getting mad at catching Hep C from Pamela Anderson? You knew the risks before getting into bed with her. Can’t act surprised now.

cabbage-

You’ve uttered the words as though they came directly from Cal’s mouth. Are you World Wide Wes, a UK booster, or Cal, himself?

Did Calipari arrange for someone else to take the SAT for Rose? Did he even know about it? If they answers are NO, I’m not sure how all of this shit falls on him.

somewhere out in LA, pete carroll is breathing a little easier knowing that everything that went on while reggie bush was there will continue to be swept under the rug, even though it happened 3 years before all this memphis stuff. makes sense.

The current program will not lose any scholarships, or be prevented from playing in March. (Not that it should – why punish the current players for transgressions that had nothing to do with them?)

You’re not terribly familiar with the concept of the NCAA Death Penalty are you?

They punish current teams for past transgressions committed before the current roster was even in place all the time. Not one member of the 1989 SMU football team was on the team in 1987 when DP was handed down. Yet they still had to deal with massively reduced scholarships and restrictions on the amount of coaches and staff that the team could hire.

You can’t exactly hunt down and punish the members of a team who are graduated, so you punish the program in the form it exists in at that time. It’s imperfect, but if the NCAA is going to hand down penalties, I hardly see another way to do it.

What a crook this guy is. They’ll nail him to the wall eventually — and it will Kentucky’s legacy that’s tarnished for it.

Anybody gonna be surprised when he winds up working for ESPN in 2013?
