    A pic is worth a thousands words

    Oh, so the Final Four is this weekend? Who's playing in it? Where is U of K? I guess a key reason why someone got these players into the photo op is that U of K fans are talking about this (and next year) and not why they are not in the Final Four this year. Calipari is a master of spinning...

    Coach K Says Fifth Year Transfers Are Hurting College Basketball

    It needs to be said because it may give insight on why he makes comments- what serves him best at the moment.

    SEC continued...

    Didn't read all the post; but besides seeding; I think it doesn't prepare them as well for the NCAA tournament playing in a weak conference.

    Charlie still on the hot seat..

    "Charlie still on the hot seat.." I'm sorry for Charlie. Been a long weekend; but almost seemed like there was an intended pun about "hot" seat.

    Floating a New Theory

    With regards to other schools, Syracuse basketball had a self-imposed post-season ban initiated during a season when their team wasn't having that good of year. I could see where a timely response by a university could show the NCAA that the school was serious. But there are also other factors...

    Will UK fans support UL in the NCAA investigations and self-imposed penalties?

    This was discussed on the radio the other day. Eric Crawford does a good job explaining this in an article. Link: http://www.wdrb.com/story/31192335/crawford-self-imposed-faq-jurich-and-usc-pitino-lee-and-lewis-more Read under the question: Q: What’s the deal with Pitino, both in this...

    Will UK fans support UL in the NCAA investigations and self-imposed penalties?

    To my understanding, the NCAA rules have changed since the incidents with Calipari. Now the NCAA will hold the Coach responsible - even if not at fault. I guess the NCAA feels that it is a deterrent. So to my understanding, by today's NCAA rules, Calipari WOULD have been suspended with what...

    Will UK fans support UL in the NCAA investigations and self-imposed penalties?

    Obviously, it's very much in the history of Calipari - who is the current U of K coach. While my original wording could have been better, the current sports culture at U of K is affected by Calipari's history and what he brings to the position.

    Will UK fans support UL in the NCAA investigations and self-imposed penalties?

    I posted the 2 above because many U of K fans seem to have no memory of their own past.

    Will UK fans support UL in the NCAA investigations and self-imposed penalties?

    "The N.C.A.A. found years ago that Calipari’s star player, Marcus Camby, had accepted large sums of cash and services, not the least the ministrations of a prostitute, from a couple of scalawag agents. The N.C.A.A. fined the university $151,000 and forced the Minutemen to vacate postseason...

    Will UK fans support UL in the NCAA investigations and self-imposed penalties?

    "The cash sent by Mr. Casey, which was found in an opened air-express package in Los Angeles, touched off the 13-month investigation that resulted in the ruling today and in several earlier resignations. In March, Coach Eddie Sutton and his entire staff resigned, and last November, Cliff Hagan...

    What, NO LSU Football?

    I agree. At the same time, highlights the challenges state governments are facing. Politicians don't want to talk about "the elephant in the room." They want to be re-elected. There are a financial issues that state, and our federal government, need to address.

    Petrino wins pot on tim Sullivan

    You make sound points here. We do have the right to see things from 2 different views. It is painful to see what went on today at the university. I have been a U of L fan for a long time. I guess I will retire, again, from making many posts. I love sports, but stuff that is going on...
