This isn't quite Calipari's fault but it does show that he does not look into his players very closely, that he is recruiting. It seems like it was very common knowledge Kanter was being paid while playing for his Turkish team and Kentucky and the staff overlooked it and thought it would not be a problem.

How many different things does Calipari have to do and be tied to before people start realizing its not coincidence but he is part of the problem and a red flag.

I believe when the NCAA charges him with
1.  "Failing to Promote an Atmosphere of Compliance" as well as

2.  "failure to adequately monitor the program to ensure compliance with NCAA legislation regarding telephone calls, text messages and benefits provided by a representative of the institution's athletic interests"

I think there is only one coach in the NCAA currently under these allegations

When Calhoun has 2 final fours vacated and leaves both schools while they are being punished for his actions then you can start to compare.

I like how you ignore when the report first came out and I blamed Calhoun for not keeping a closer eye on things. I think because of his health issues and other things going on with his life he gave his assistant coaches much more control and leeway than in previous years and they overstepped boundaries.

But once again this involves a player who never played a game and he received money from a person who was not part of UConn and had stolen millions of dollars from Richard Hamilton.

I like you also ignore the ticket scandal at Kansas when it was kinda of the same thing that UConn is getting in trouble for... Also you are very naive to think that no other D-1 schools make excess calls, text messages, etc in this day in age. Thing is they are just smarter and use throw away phones when making those calls so they cant be tracked.

Calipari provides thousands of dollars to his top recruits. Maybe not personally but he sets them p to be taken care of by people he has connections with and people he surrounds himself with. World Wide Wes is the most powerful person in basketball.

When Calapari makes the final four and it is not forfeited, wins 2 national championships and makes the hall of fame come talk to me.

You love harping on the allegations but guess what if there is no postseason ban than no one will really care about it, especially the recruits, losing one or two scholarships in 2011 is not going to kill the program.

As far the arrests, as long as the players are not murdering anyone, see Baylor and UVA, and the whole team is not riding in a car with guns, weed and booze, see Tennessee, or attending parties in Miami with agents, see UNC and Alabama, I do not care. College kids drink and smoke whether they are on the basketball team or the debate team its going to happen.

jpero I can respond for Woop because he has the IQ of about 55 and can find nothing original to say.

"Report will be out soon, insert emoticon like 14 year old girl, tick tock, insert emoticon like 14 year old girl."

Also, woop why do you talk up Duke so much? You are a UVA fan, they hate each other, or are you just a fair weather fan like you are with the Red Soxs?

You bumped my Ater thread which had no nonfactual data.

I said they would be one of the front runners and they were. They made it to the final 4.

I didnt defend Vander Sloot I said there wasnt enough evidence and the girl deserves some fo the fault and I have no sympathy for her. Theres other thigns to worry about in this world and country.

Yale once again any non student can take classes at Yale if they meet their standards. I posted how anyone can take classes at Harvard yet you ignore that. Uncle Glenn never took 3 classes at Yale and only took one and he dropped out before receiving a grade. You can never admit when you are wrong. You deflect and avoid and attack. Its your MO.

He only got into their older student program, NOT UNDERGRADUATE/NOT GRADUATE, because he had a recommendation from Lieberman .

Don't fret, I have written a letter to the Yale admissions department inquiring about taking classes without applying as a non-degree student.  I am anxiously awaiting the reply to paste in the political forum

Eric Bledsoe's high school transcripts raise questions if he was eligible to play at Kentucky.

This situation is sounding more and more like the Derek Rose incident at Memphis.

UConn has filed its response to the NCAA’s allegations of eight major recruiting violations by the Huskies’ men’s basketball program, but it’s not likely to be revealed to the public until next week, at the earliest.

UConn was originally slated to file its response by Aug. 20, but that was pushed back two weeks to last Friday. However, late last week, the deadline was again pushed back to Tuesday.

At issue is the recruitment of Nate Miles. In a letter of allegations sent to UConn in May, the NCAA maintains that Miles was given benefits by Josh Nochimson, a former agent who, as a former UConn student-manager as well, is considered to represent UConn’s interest. The program is also accused of sending hundreds of improper phone calls and text messages to recruits.

Perhaps worst of all, coach Jim Calhoun has been cited for not properly overseeing the program and making sure such mistakes weren’t made.

The NCAA committee on infractions will review UConn’s response and likely issue its sanctions in November or December. Calhoun, athletic director Jeff Hathaway and other members of the UConn program are slated to meet before the committee on Oct. 15-16 in Indianapolis.

Yea. Now I cant fault Calipari 100% for that but it seems like it was well known he was being paid to play in Turkey and Kentucky decided to just overlook that fact.

NY Time article on Bledsoe

There is also the curious matter that Bledsoe, who had a history of getting low grades, aced Algebra III before taking Algebra II, The News reported. Who should be more embarrassed: the N.C.A.A. for not noticing the discrepancy, Kentucky’s admissions office for not questioning it or Parker High School for allowing it?

The former Parker principal Joseph Martin declined to explain why Bledsoe was allowed to take Algebra III first, telling the paper, “I’m going to my grave with that.”



So the principal has no explanation for why he was allowed to take Algebra III before Algebra II (even though you must take Algebra II before hand). Also the teacher who taught Bledsoe has made comments that make ti sound that he received a low C for Algebra II and a low B for Algebra III which would have gave him a C for the 2 classes. He needed an A in both to be cleared to play college ball.

On the Plus side for Kentucky fans... If Bledsoe is ruled ineligible they can celebrate 2000 wins again this year.

SO, after this past years is wiped clean of Cal's wins, is there anyway you can say he should be in charge of a program?

He didn't even last 1 year this time.

jpero- That last line was the 1st thing I though of. Guess NC did beat them to it.
