Disappointing Steelers. Was hoping you'd link that way back thread where many UK fans shared how they felt about Calipari while he was at Memphis.
Lots of guys had to create new screen names after that one!

Let's not forget Bledso's Herculean intellectual feat of passing Algebra III before I and II in the same summer.
So - Cal recruiting a kid who obviously committed academic fraud - gets a pass from you because the fraud happened before he was recruiting him?It should be inserted here that this happened before Cal was recruiting him. Don't throw it out there that Cal engineered this feat.
Obviously committed academic fraud? When did it become obvious?So - Cal recruiting a kid who obviously committed academic fraud - gets a pass from you because the fraud happened before he was recruiting him?
Explains a lot.
The conversation and my comment was about Bledsoe - not Rose.Obviously committed academic fraud? When did it become obvious?
When was Cal supposed to know it was obvious?
Was it after the NCAA cleared the kid the first time or the second time?
Was it after the season was over when Memphis got slapped without an investigation? That's when Csl found out about the accusation. But I'm sure you have proof that he knew all along.
At what point was it obvious that Rose committed academic fraud?
You guys found out about the things that happened in Minardi hall years after the events occurred. Pitino claims he didn't know, yet these things happened on campus.
Rose lived in Chicago and he was cleared twice. What would you do if you were the coach of Memphis at that time and the #1 player in the class committed to you and was cleared by the selection committee?
Ah, who am I kidding, you would have kicked him to the curb, because it's Monday morning and you're a quarterback.
Same thing applies to the Bledsoe ordeal. Where was the academic fraud? They simply looked into his records.The conversation and my comment was about Bledsoe - not Rose.
Maybe try and keep up before you waste everyone's time with your long winded, off topic BS.
We agree that it's the same thing - cow recruited two kids that committed academic fraud - Rose was proven, while Bledsoe took a page out of cow's book, and left lexington before any ramifications could occur.Same thing applies to the Bledsoe ordeal. Where was the academic fraud? They simply looked into his records.
A. Why wouldn't you cooperate if you were innocent? Particularly if by not, your school was going to get hammered by the NCAA. "Doing the math" says that - you wouldn't.The deal with Rose was never proven, he just didn't cooperate.
Bledsoe's grade issue was before any big schools were recruiting him.
The real crime here is that one of either Duke, UK, or Florida leaked his transcript to Forde. That is actually a criminal offense.
Forde is known to have close sources to Louisville, he has the scoop on ALL the UofL stories. Richard Pitino was at Florida at the time, and we know Donovan is close to Pitino.
Do the math...pun intended.
A. Why wouldn't you cooperate if you were innocent? Particularly if by not, your school was going to get hammered by the NCAA. "Doing the math" says that - you wouldn't.
B. Bledsoe's grades were in his senior year so, yeah I think there were schools recruiting him. Again "doing the math" (how ironic) shows a clear cut case of unadulterated academic fraud.
C. You think the "real crime" is that someone exposed Bledsoe's fraud? Lol - that sounds familiar. Big trump supporter are you?
What does "past members of pitino's staff" have to do with anything? Just another in a long line of false equivalencies, rationalizations or straw man arguments that you use in an attempt to deflect from what is the truth.I don't know why Rose didn't cooperate, maybe because he was getting ready for the draft. Why didn't past members of Pitinos staff cooperate with the NCAA? However, you wrote it wa proven he cheated, which is not true at all.
Duke, and certainly not UK or Calipari at Memphis were recruiting Bledsoe at the time of this class.
Calipari didn't recruit Bledsoe until he got to UK. He had successfully recruited Xavier Henry to Memphis as his 2 guard.
You must be a real Hillary supporter, as you don't realize that it is actually a federal crime to make a kids transcript public.
The horror that someone in Birmingham school district "might've" helped a kid that was living out of car seems like small potatoes to what's happened recently in college sports.
Bill - the NCAA investigated rose because they didn't believe he took the test. They ruled against rose because he wouldn't cooperate with them because he knew that he didn't take the test. In your deflection bringing up UofL, you haven't mentioned what asst. coaches you are talking about but if it's AM - then he isn't cooperating and the same reason that Rose didn't cooperate. Because he's guilty of what they accuse him of.BP, The NCAA rules Rose ineligible because he didn't cooperate with the investigation, and per the testing agency there was a 51-49 percent chance he didn't take the test.
The "false equivalency" is that you assumed Rose cheated because he didn't cooperate, and maybe he did, but do you feel Louisville should forfeit games because past staff members haven't cooperated with the NCAA? If there isn't more to the story then why wouldn't they cooperate?
Florida and Duke were recruiting Bledsoe, BP.
The transcripts which they both had, didn't become public until he chose UK. Those 2 schools would've had them as well as UK.
It was never about exposing academic fraud, or Bledsoe. It was about losing a recruit and trying to slow down Cal's momentum at UK.
If it was about academic fraud they'd have notified the NCAA.
Leaking a kids transcript is a criminal offense, it's against the law.
Sure that makes complete sense - cow has no interest in the kid until he gets the yut job.Pastier recruited Bledsoe after Cal left Memphis.
Are you trying to imply that Calipari was involved in getting Bledsoe's grades changed?
Florida and Duke had commitable offers to Bledsoe if had chosen to go there.
The NCAA cleared him, twice. The Birmingham school district cleared him, twice.
Maybe it's time for you to let this fish go.
There is a complete difference in clearing a player and, not making him ineligible. In legalese - Bledsoe was found 'not guilty' rather than being declared 'innocent'.Calipari had Xavier Henry signed while at Memphis. When Cal left Memphis for UK, Henry chose to go to Kansas instead of following Calipari.
When that occurred, along with Jodie Meeks leaving UK for the NBA, UK needed a 2 guard, that's where Bledsoe entered the picture.
The NCAA cleared Bledsoe twice BP.
Hard to argue with that logic - I guess that's why Bledsoe didn't.Bledsoe has made $32mm already in his career and will almost certainly crest $100mm in earnings before he is done. If a corrupt, hypocritical, selective entity like the NCAA came to me asking for information and I was worth 9 figures, I'd tell them to pound sand too. They have no jurisdiction in the NBA.

Even a complete idiot knows that a HS student with a 1.75 gpa thru 3 years and, one who had never gotten above a C in even the most basic of math classes, doesn't suddenly Ace Alg 3 (night class) and then Ace Alg 2 (on line course) without something fraudulent occurring. The teacher even admitted to changing his grade "frequently".

You clearly have situational ethics or, are that one complete idiot in a million. Bottom line is that cow has been dirty his entire career - if that has only recently changed, it doesn't erase his slimy and sordid past.
Which past members of Pitino's staff are you referring to?
The NCAA did clear him, and clearing him is the same as declaring him innocent. I don't know if Bledsoe had his grades changed or not, but if they were it had nothing to do with Calipari and everything to do with a teacher trying to help a kid with a ticket out of the ghetto.
Nothing that has happened under Calipari is as bad as what Louisville is under investigation for now.
Calipari , or his program was directly involved in either case.
There's a difference between thinking something is true, and knowing something is true.
Brandon Williams was at that meeting the other day.Brandon Williams
What you "don't know" could fill a book. Your "ghetto" reference is touching but - as usual with you - misplaced.The NCAA did clear him, and clearing him is the same as declaring him innocent.

I'very never been here before but I don't think he was being literal when he said that.Kerry you lend your self to having no credibility when you make ridiculous comments like "You Couldn't Pay Me $10,000,000 to watch 1 second of the 30 on 30 about Cal. That is about as ridiculous a comment as I have ever heard. Of course you would listen to 1 second, 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week or 1 month of the 30 on 30 about Calapari. You would be set for life money wise and if for no other reason you would do it for your family. The hatred and jealousy UL fans have for Coach Cal is just unbelievable.
That's a bit over the top regarding Trump, but I'm not all that surprised. I am assuming you're talking about the illegal act of unmasking Americans on FICA wiretaps. That should bother all Americans since it is actually illegal to do that. Is there any actual evidence to date connecting Russia and Donald J. Trump? Not according to one of your own Democratic leaders . https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattv...ssian-collusion-during-2016-campaign-n2322991C.

Now if the DNC is hacked and emails showing collusion are brought forward, it's not the collusion that upset the Clinton supporters. It's the hacking of the information. Talk about a double standard. LOL. If I'm a drug lord, and I call the FBI to provide solid incremenating information about another drug lord, does that make the information less valuable? Think about it.
Remember. You started this BS which will probably lead this thread to being locked.
In before the lock...
Seems rather unlikely that the mods would wait until May 8th to lock the thread from all of my "bs" posted on April 20th - no? Now, you dredging it up and it getting into a full blown political back and forth will certainly result in that. My response to Bill was that I found it funny that he has more issues with Bledsoe and his teachers' academic fraud being exposed - than he did with the actual fraud itself. I am on record as saying both are wrong but, the systematic fraud is worse.
That position is 100% consistent with how I feel about the issue that you raised. That said, leaking - while an unethical and sometimes illegal activity - has been going on for decades and plagues administrations on both sides of the aisle. What is brand new and significantly more dangerous - is a foreign power attempting to influence our elections to achieve a result that is more palatable to them - collusion or no collusion. Had the shoe been on the other foot - I would have the same opinion.
Clinton ran a bad campaign and was a significantly flawed candidate - but as we learned again today, there is no disagreement between any of our 17 intelligence agencies, that Russia specifically interfered in our presidential election and did so, solely on the behalf of Trump. I look forward to the rest of the investigations to see exactly how far up the chain it goes.
More filth coming out of Lexington that no one will admit happens there because apparently they need more proof to link Cal and the slime trail that follows him everywhere he goes.

So what's the pay off to keep this guy's mouth shut? He was deeply entrenched with uk athletics before becoming an independent agent who's defrauding former uk players and has a laundry list (pun intended) of criminal activity according to the report.
Oh there's lots more than just that Bill. He was with the program for quite a while. If there were questions about his ethics while still working for the university under Cal, and there were lots of questions, then why didn't Cal ask to have him removed? Guess who was picking up the loaner cars for the players and the families to use from a shady dealer in Louisville while Cal was still the coach? Your discounting him for working for just Tubby is kind of laughable really. It's the same old story form uk fans. Does Leon working for Cal too fall under a pre-existing condition since he started under Tubby? Sheesh. You guys never give up with this stuff.He worked for UK under Tubby, became an agent that Harrelson used. Stole money from Harrelson.
