Making a mockery of college basketball
I guess its back to the drawing board for John Caliapri. FIVE of his players (John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe, Daniel Orton, and Patrick Patterson--all but Patterson are Freshman) announced yesterday that they were forgoing their eligibility to enter the NBA draft. I know that the whole major college sports system is fraught with hypocracy, but Calipari doesn't even try to pretend. He's taken to schools to the final four (UMASS & Memphis). Both schools had to vacate those final four appearances because of violations that happened under his watch. Calipari never seems to get penalized at all. He's the highest paid coach in college hoops!! So the next time somebody starts telling you about the importance of graduation rates and academics in either college basketball. Just point to the teflon coach, John Calipari. He's a little busy though because he's reloading his Kentuck roster with more one and done players for next season.
