NCAA alleges "major violations" at Memphis under Calipari

    No major college coach worth his salt is going to be tied to "major" violations. Some low-level assistant will have to take the fall and the school will plead to try to get a reduced sentence and Cali will be merrily cheating away with alums who can really appreciate a skilled cheater.

    It's been said, but I'll say it again: I love Calkins.

    There can't be anything more silly than vacating wins and Final Fours.

    Who gives a fuck about that.

    Maybe Calipari is trying to become the first coach to lead three schools to the Final Four and have all three appearances "vacated."

    So I wonder what the women's golf coach did.

    If you're Memphis can you get Calipari's Final Four bonuses back? If you're Kentucky do you do nothing?
    I mean at some point shouldn't some schools, programs and coaches get their very own on-campus NCAA "observer."

    Calipari has quite a knack for flying the coop right before the shit comes down. He got out of UMass just in time and now times his Memphis escape to Kentucky just as perfectly. No shit ever sticks to him and he always ends up even richer and more in demand.

    The real question is, what is going to happen to the player who allegedly had someone else take his SATs. They allude to the fact that it was Derrick Rose.

    My favorite part of that was, "Calipari is not personally implicated in any of the allegations. Of course he's not. He wasn't implicated in the UMass fiasco, either. He just happened to be in charge when the bad stuff happened at UMass. He just happened to be in charge when the bad stuff may have happened at Memphis. The man is to NCAA investigations as Joey Dorsey was to bar fights. He's just unlucky, darn it!"

    BWAHAHAHAHAHA. Also, my god, the Lexington Herald Leader's story is being overrun by crazies. I'm just sitting back and laughing. Kentucky fans are some of the most pathetic individuals to walk the planet. And anyone in the comments who dares say something negative about the situation gets called a Memphis fan and villified by the UK psychos. Now they've disabled commenting on the story, which I'm not shocked about because they would have had to remove half the comments because they were offensive.

    Kentucky has coming to them what they get for hiring Calipari. The guy is bad news and the players he recruits are bad news. Just today, John Wall pled guilty to a misdemeanor of breaking and entering or something.
