February 23, 20188 yr That's how it works. Doesn't matter if it had nothing to do with Kentucky. You play an ineligible player, the games they played get vacated. This goes for any school involved here, Bam was eligible when they played him. If UK had nothing to do (at least that can be proven) with the payment and didn't know about the payment and the NCAA cleared him, how can they then punish the school for playing a kid they didn't know took money? A kid that the NCAA didn't know took the money and cleared to play?

February 23, 20188 yr I just keeping thinking about how how hard the NCAA came down on Ohio State for players trading merchandise for tattoos and I just laugh. This is just the tip of the iceberg for college basketball and it’s funny how people thought tattoo-gate was a huge deal back in the day.
February 23, 20188 yr Cal is still having his normally scheduled press conference at 2:45.....Wonder what they'll want to talk about?
February 23, 20188 yr Cal is still having his normally scheduled press conference at 2:45.....Wonder what they'll want to talk about? The weather. The weather is supposed to be awful by tipoff tomorrow.
February 23, 20188 yr Cal is still having his normally scheduled press conference at 2:45.....Wonder what they'll want to talk about? I can't wait for: 1) Jerry Tipton's question 2) Cal's reaction to Jerry Tipton's question
February 23, 20188 yr He would be ineligible either way. True, but, the point I am making, is, Kentucky had nothing to do with it.
February 23, 20188 yr True, but, the point I am making, is, Kentucky had nothing to do with it. Right, but unfortunately that doesn't matter really.
February 23, 20188 yr Right, but unfortunately that doesn't matter really. Doesn't matter as far as the punishment that would be handed down to UK, but it should matter in the perception of how this impacts Cal. It won't, because that doesn't fit the narrative, but it should. I'm sure there's more here, though. It's just a matter of it all coming out. I'm just glad I don't live and die with Kentucky basketball like I had when I was a teenager. The younger me would be taking this a lot harder.
February 23, 20188 yr Speaking of Final Fours being vacated.....Did I see Jared Jeffries name on that ledger?You better hope so
