Between this and the Calipari stories, it seems like the Uconn/Kentucky game will be wiped out.
This Uconn Kentucky game tomorrow? How would this effect that? Vacated final 4's occur when the player with the recruiting violations and agents are on that final 4 team See D-Rose and Camby for Calipari
Calhoun is as dirty as Calipari it's kind of amazing he hasn't more seasons vacated.

Not as dirty, but he is definitely dirty. Nobody is as dirty as Cal.
Vacating presumes current players on his roster are found to have played but were ineligible....we dont hear any of that. Sanctions? yes Vacating all or part of this year? no

And yet to this day, the NCAA has not found a single thing on him.

Won't he be sitting out five games next year? If so, seems like someone found something on him.

I was talking about Coach Cal. Sorry about the confusion.

True, but he's put himself in those positions by recruiting the players that broke the rules.
It is just something weird......
Bilas said on mike & mike today that if you are willing to call Wooden a cheater than you can call Colhoun one. If you aren't then you have some explaining to do because they both did the same things.

Can you elaborate? I have no idea what Wooden did.

It's more what he didn't do. Most UCLA stars, back to the Alcindor and Walton days, had a relationship with Sam Gilbert.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Gilbert_(businessman)
Wooden pretty much knew about the relationship, heard all the rumors, but really failed to investigate anything. An NCAA investigation proved a number of the allegations, but really gave UCLA a slap on the wrist compared to what they could have done.
Thanks, I am not old enough to have lived it and have been naive about idolizing Wooden.
A simple hint...don't idolize anyone associated with college athletics.
