Good idea. I may take the next week off the board. Gonna be a shite show. Not necessarily unwarranted either, but it’s kinda been a foregone conclusion for some time. Nothing new will be added to the convo—just whining.
Sharpe to NBA
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
FERPA doesn't necessarily prevent people from leaking confidential information just like HIPAA doesn't prevent the disclosure of confidential information. It's up to the parties involved to adhere to compliance standards set forth by FERPA or HIPAA.
Put it this way, say I work at the University of Kentucky and I have access to student records. I could easily pull up Sharpe's transcript, print it off, and distribute it to everyone on campus. I'd be violating FERPA but pulling that off wouldn't be difficult.
The intent of any of my posts today was just to show that it's highly likely Cal didn't even know about the May graduation date and that's due to FERPA. I'm also sure the compliance dept at UK saw some red flags with regards to w/e documentation was submitted by Sharpe's handlers. Just saw MJ's post talking about these potential red flags.
So all he had to was say hey we are sitting Sharpe until we have confirmation that he is eligible. Case closed. But no we got stories of going to Mars before he would leave, and 110% here to learn and lead next year.
Some of this feels plausible because the whole May graduation story is definitely fishy. It still leaves a lot of questions as a narrative though. If this really was an eligibility issue, then why not just say that? It makes the player look like a punk and the coach look like a fool to present it as a mutual decision for him to voluntarily sit out if it was actually out of anyone’s control.
Also, if the October graduation was verifiable, then why was that not enough for him to be eligible? If there was a good reason why not, was there any plan to rectify the problem in time for next year amidst all the promises that he’d be back?
Finally, I’m not sure the assertion that Sharpe and his family only found out he was draft eligible after it was too late to do anything differently than they did quite squares with how they handled things. The stories from credible sports analysts have been out there for months that he was going to be eligible. Rather than push back directly on that assertion, they acknowledged such stories by framing it like he was coming back by choice in order to chase an even higher draft spot next year.
Even if this new version of events is completely true, it still paints all involved as handling everything terribly at best and being outright liars at worst.
Any result that moves us closer to Cal leaving is a win. At least then we have a chance to win another title someday. With him here, we don't.
Cal sat John Wall for a potential compliance issue. It was announced publicly and everybody understood.
Why the secrecy about Sharpe? What is Cal hiding?
Well cry chicken, welcome to nothing. You get nothing from this in that regard. Kentucky don’t want him gone. Only spiteful little men like you that depend on the team for gambling or self esteem.
Exactly, the entire time him, his camp, and Cal said 100% he would lead us next year. Every single one of them. So they all lied and deceived anyway you slice this.
Why should he tell anyone anything about Sharpe. No fan has any right to know a damn thing about Sharpe.
As I told Jeffy, what was the lie, what was the quote and what was the fact that was misquoted. No lies. No deception.
Just read Tyler Thomson’s article it is all there. I can pull up a quote in 10 seconds that says exactly what I just said.
By attacking and labeling all the LoD as trolls. Leading us on to try a d get the mods to ban us.
That idiot can’t read.
Don’t need a lottery pick? How did that work out this past season? Washington is a fringe lottery pick, and we couldn’t beat a 15 seed. Are you seeing a roster better than the one we just had? The remaining portal players look pretty weak.
I don’t know how to respond to that answer because, I mean it’s right there.
Then don't enroll at UK and keep saying he is 100 percent playing next year when they knew it wasn't true. I would rather have honesty than blatant lies being put out. Either that or just say we will make a decision after the season.
You'd have been first in line if Cal passed him up. He's a kid. You can be 100% a breakfast and 0% at lunch. Welcome to life.
No. I blame the adults not a kid fresh out of high school. This is on the NBA, Cal, the parents and the handlers.
They are the root of all this BS that makes a mockery of a once proud basketball program.
We are officially the University of Ken-D-League Wild-Cucks.
I save my hatred for child molesters and murderous dictatators not 17 year old college basketball players.
