If Kentucky Holds on....

Is it only a matter of time before Calipari has to vacate yet another Final Four appearance?

[Tugg Speedman]

I half hope they win (well, not really) so he can vacate a championship.  Since they would have to play a mid-major (winner of the VCU/Butler), imagine the spectacle of the championship transferring to that school.

Hmm...if they have to vacate it, but beat UConn (whom I need to make the final to win my bracket pool) can I go back and ask for the money since UK was vacated?

I say yes!

In fact, I should go back and re-calculate the point totals from my 2008 pool. I might be owed some money...I mean, pride. We filled out brackets for pride.

UConn would have to vacate it as well, if the freaking NCAA decided to actually investigate him. Calhoun is quietly cheating as much as Calipari, but nobody notices. Really hope the VCU-BU winner wins it all. I think both teams matchup better vs UConn.

Actually, when those are vacated, they are not given to the other school.  They are "vacant."

Even better!  No 2011 Champion!

I am not a Kentucky fan, but I like them more than the biggest whiner in the NCAA, Calhoun and UCONN.

Go Butler, the Duke of Indiana.

You can guarantee there will be a pre-Final 4 story about how Calhoun & Calipari dislike each other stemming back when Cal coached UMass and UConn refused to play them.

Clearly you've never heard of Calhoun's counterpart on the women's side.

I do not believe the NCAA would actually vacate a championship.  Final Four sure, but the actual champion?  I just don't think they'd go through with it.

On another note, I dislike Calipari, but I think the NCAA handled the 2008 Memphis-Rose issue very poorly.  If they really cleared Calipari of any wrong doing then how can they justify punishing that team?  The NCAA Clearinghouse cleared Rose & said he qualified.  According to the NCAA investigation, Calipari did nothing wrong and should have had no reason to suspect the NCAA Clearinghouse decision was wrong.  Is he supposed to sit Rose because .......?  I can't think of a reason why Calipari should not have played Rose without some sort of mind-reading powers.  The NCAA should punish the Clearinghouse for clearing a non-qualified player, not the school for playing a kid that was cleared.
