Is Marquette under investigation as well?  It has to be pretty close to what Butler's is.

They make that pretty confusing as well.  They state that Butler receives an education worth $38,000+, while Kentucky's tuition is $4,000+.  That's like comparing apples to oranges.

Pretty funny, though.  Especially the Callipari "quotes."

Article quote:

"According to documents seized from the school's registrar's office, Butler players have received an education worth $38,616 per year totaling more than $150,000 over a four-year career.

Compare that to player at a school like Kentucky , where tuition is set at $4,051 -- but with an actual value far below that."

Oh, Kentucky must love that.  I think we can expect a call from attorneys from the bluegrass state getting this article pulled very soon.

I doubt they will considering it is a guys personal blog.
I could start a blog that says


"tuition at Kentucky is 18 dollars a year and 18 dollars more than its worth"

blogs are protected as opinion i believe.

It would be considered satire, which is protected. IIRC

It is clearly humor and thus no reason or basis to have it pulled, even if it is distastful to Kentucky fans.  A reasonable person would not think this article is factual, but then again, we are talking about Kentucy.

a kid flunks out of butler and transfers to UK, and
raises the class rankings at both schools, at the same time

how do you get a former UK player off your poarch?
pay him for the pizza
