March 2, 201016 yr So you have convicted Cal of cheating but the NCAA did not? On what basis may I ask? :confused: A hater is a hater. No proof is necessary or needed.
March 2, 201016 yr I doubt it's true, bottom line Memphis and Cal cheated. UK fans hate to hear that and I'm sure I'll get bashed up and down for this, but if this was a Louisville final four, or a Duke Final Four. UK fans would be screaming up and down about how the NCAA needs to stick to their guns. I believe that this was their only appeal. From what I understand, Memphis was "guilty" because Derrick Rose did not respond to the letter. There may or may not have been wrongdoings, but the almighty NCAA got this one wrong, in my opinion.
March 2, 201016 yr As a UK fan I would hope you are wrong, but the quote from you above is 100% correct. I can't ever remember the NCAA reversing course, especially not on something major like this. To me, they would rather lose credibility in perception than making a switch and losing it in reality. Since when did the NCAA have credibility? :idunno:

March 2, 201016 yr I could care less about the decision in regards to how it will make Calipari look. If it gets overturned, like it should, those who hate him will still say he cheated and those who like him will feel good about the decision. I want to see it overturned for the Memphis Basketball program. You tell any coach in the NCAA that their best freshman is cleared to play...they are going to play him. Plain and simple.
March 2, 201016 yr If Memphis had won the 2008 NCAA tournament instead of being runnerup, the NCAA wouldn't have done a thing to them. This wouldn't even be an issue. They don't mess with taking major sport championships away (they will occasionally with minor sports like swimming or tennis). With a runnerup they try to send a 'message'. For further proof research UCLA and Sam Gilbert.
March 2, 201016 yr Any talk of horse farms being purchased? Not in Memphis. But I did hear a there was a blues bar and a souviner stand outside Graceland that weren't on the market anymore.
