2. Sure, He has not been found guilty of any violations by the NCAA
Kentucky is clean. It would be a huge upset if Cornell won. I could see where you might enjoy that. I think most Kentucky fans relished Kansas getting beat as much they enjoyed beating an ACC team. Maybe the Ivy League can put up a better game. You knew you were setting yourself up too. Good luck with your team of the week, see you later.
8. I've never actively routed against a team until this year....
I've never actively routed against a team until this year, but after Calipari robbed Memphis of possibly the greatest draft class ever I'm pulling for Cal and the Wildcats to go down.
11. No rules, regulations, or laws broken in his hiring.
The players are NOW under the NCAA blanket, high school kids can go where they want. You don't advocate making someone go where they don't want to, do you? Nothing done wrong here. Lots of sour grapes. Get over it.
17. No, but I advocate the same for coaches as for students.
When the students sign on to a University and initiate their contract (participate in a full season, for example), they have to sit out for a year. Calipari recruited using Memphis' recruitment funds and then took the product to another institution without any repercussions. If a student was in the middle of a commitment (or contract in the coaches sense) they wouldn't be allowed to break contract without punishment. It should be the same for coaches under contract. Don't try and act like you wouldn't have a problem with it if Cal did the same thing to you. You just happened to benefit from an ugly situation so you put your blinders on to feel better.
18. The students were not under contract with Memphis & Coach Cal stopped all
contact with those players. When they contacted him about their desire to come to UK it was ok. This is not a law it is an NCAA Regulation. UK is in FULL compliance. So sour grapes.
They had an out worked into their letter of intent. I'm talking about how student athletes (not recruits) and coaches are held to entirely different standards and how it can lead to the decimation of programs. If a student athlete leaves it has a much lesser impact to the program, but punishment is enforced. A coach can leave and take the recruits he recruited with the funds of the previous university to another institution without any punishment and with a much greater detriment. It's essentially purchasing a team, and I'm sorry you have your homer blinders on to not realize that it is an issue that needs to be addressed.
We won't look past them. They are one of the few teams with an all time lead over UK 1-0. I know a Cornell player, Mark Coury. Young walk on transferred to the Big Red from UK. Fine young man, but he will get beat.
