    Washington with only 7 reps on the bench press? That's surprising.

    He doesn't have to apply for that until he is ready to play a 4th season.

    Knox was under 18 at the time of the supposed lunch.

    I dontd have the handbook in front of me, but I'm pretty sure extra benefits and impermissible benefits are the same thing.

    Bam and Knox

    The testing service invalidated his score, and he refused to meet with them to defend himself. The NCAA declared him ineligible because of that.

    Referees and blatant bad calls

    That doesn't look real close. Also:

    They're all freshman. PLEASE quit saying this, I'm sick of it

    Yeah, it might get old hearing it every year and it's definitely the result of a choice, based on the model Calipari has chosen, but it's still true. All reasons for not liking to hear it aside- it's true.

    This team

    I'm hoping Baker and Vanderbilt provide some more offense when they're healthy. Right now, this team can't put the ball in the bucket consistently enough. Camp Cal might help.

    Thats for some violations, but there's no statute of limitations for recruiting violations and extra benefits or any willful and serious attempt to undermine NCAA principles

    By rule, an athlete has 5 calendar years from the time they first enroll to play 4 seasons of competition. His eligibility clock began when he enrolled, so he has 4 1/2 years left to play 4 seasons. He could play 4 years in a row starting now and have normal freshman-sophomore-junior-senior...

    Is it time to rename Rupp Arena?

    It was primarily about slavery. Historians tend to agree that the best official and contemporary statement of the reasons behind secession and thus the war were stated in Confederate VP Alexander Stephens' "Cornerstone Address" of March 21, 1851. Stephens enumerated the difference between the...

    They had 15 days to notify the NCAA they would appeal, then according to Eric Crawford: then 30 days to file a formal written appeal. After U of L files its appeal, the NCAA has 30 days to respond in writing. The school then gets 14 days to file a rebuttal, and the NCAA’s enforcement office has...

    OT: Is Scottie Pippen the most underrated player in NBA history?

    I think it goes both ways. MJ would have won less without at least some good supporting players, but conversely, Pippen wouldn't have had half the opportunities he had if MJ hadn't been the focus of the other teams they played. They both benefited from each other, but I think Pippen benefited...
