August 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 11:03 AM) Disagree here. He left Memphis when he knew something would be found. He stuck out the season for the chance at the title. The rumblings of Rose being ineligable were going on all season. Once it hit ground zero after the Championship game, he bolted.
August 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 10:40 AM) If Calipari thought they'd find anything serious he'd be in the NBA right now. He has time to bolt. He wont be at UK for more than 3 more years, Im sure of it.
August 23, 201213 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 11:34 AM) He has time to bolt. He wont be at UK for more than 3 more years, Im sure of it. I feel the same way. He's as shady as they come. I mean, the guy is an absolute slimebag. As soon as the NCAA starts figuring stuff out about Kentucky, he'll bolt. I can't stand the fact that the NCAA doesn't go after coaches once they leave a program that gets sanctions. It really doesn't make sense. But then again, not much makes sense when it comes to the NCAA.

Well, they do give out show-cause penalties so that guys really struggle to get jobs in the NCAA, but a guy can go to the NBA to hide from that (see: Kelvin Sampson).

Okay, yeah. I don't mean they literally never go after those coaches. But a lot of times they don't. See: Calipari at UMass and Memphis
August 24, 201213 yr the NCAA isnt going to bust UK because they know they'll screw themselves with the APR score. Just a matter of time UK is sitting out tournaments like UCONN is because of all these 1 and done's.

September 6, 201213 yr What the f***? http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball...eatment-surface You wouldn't believe some of the Gillispie stories people down here tell.
September 6, 201213 yr It's complete and utter bulls*** that UConn is getting punished this season for a retroactive application of a new set of rules while UNC gets off clean for what is blatant academic fraud. Nice to see several national outlets with write ups on it but it doesn't make it any easier to swallow. NCAA is such an absurd joke. Double standards galore.

September 7, 201213 yr Interesting - discussion on moving FF to stadiums, not exclusively domes. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball...ve-domes-arenas It should just be in Indy every year.
September 12, 201213 yr Be interesting to see how the NCAA lets UNC slide for giving Tami Hansborough at 95k a year fundraising job to keep Tyler there for his senior season.

September 13, 201213 yr Lots of chatter about Nunn and Jackson close to committing to Illinois. Would be two really nice gets for Groce. All illinois based rumor, but still. Finally something to be happy about with Illinois bball.

All illinois based rumor, but still. Finally something to be happy about with Illinois bball. Getting Jackson would be absolutely huge. Those guys would shorten any sort of rebuilding period...can be top 3-4 Big Ten pretty quickly after. Here's hoping.
September 13, 201213 yr Author Jackson would be a great get for the Illini. I think they'll need to couple him with a couple legit bigs in the next few classes though. I'm hoping you pull in Bates-Diop (or just anyone) over Purdue. Sounds like that kid is the real deal.
