There is a lot more parity now than 1998 and before. Welcome to mediocrity since Calipari won't be able to cheat anymore.
You don't actually think freshman ineligibility is going to happen, do you?

Sure its coming back and for a very good reason at that. The only reason it stopped was after title nine was enforced the schools argued that they couldn't afford to carry freshman scholarships.... What a crock of crap that turned out to be.
I say bench them for a season and see if they can make grades while playing on the JV.
Two things it kills the recruiting spectacle and the dummies that don't belong in college will go play in Canada or some other NFL farm league.

I don't. It's a ploy by the Big X to stop the talent advantage for the SEC. Several SEC football programs sweep up most of the best athletes, especially in the talent-laden Southeast. Also, UK is vacuuming up the best basketball prospects prospects and channeling them into the NBA.
The Big X is interested in talent parity, not academic parity. They, with the PAC were once powerful enough to effect their will. That isn't the case anymore. The SEC, ACC and Big 12 can easily counter any initiative by the Big X.
Besides, ESPN polled the nation and 88% favored keeping the status quo.
