Pitino gets canned today. Coach Cal jumps ship and gets an NBA job. How long until Kentucky calls Pitino about coming back to Lexington?


One thing you can bank on with Cal...when he leaves Lexington for the NBA, the NCAA will show up shortly thereafter.

This is a guy who had to vacate a 38 win season at Memphis, recruited his first class to Kentucky (with the help of Nike and World Wide Wes) while still at Memphis, and then left through the back door with said recruiting class five minutes before the NCAA showed up. He's as despicable as they come.

Those players weren't going to Memphis to play for the grand university of Memphis, they were going to play for John Calipari. When he left they followed because they wanted to play for John Calipari. If Cal left Kentucky for another school I suspect most of his recruiting class would do the same.

As for the Nike and World Wide Wes, well you can't prove that and I can't disprove that.

Well you can't prove that. But wait...

You're right, I can't prove anything. But I can smell the smoke and there's plenty of it. There's so much smoke following Calipari around that he looks like goddam Pig Pen.

The FBI raided a major sports agents office last evening. I have a feeling they will be peeling back a whole nother layer of this one.

Actually I can prove that. Demarcus Cousins, John Wall and Eric Bledsoe have all said multiple times they wanted to play for Cal wherever he was coaching. The man who took over from Cal at Memphis has said it. He actually says it in the article I linked to you earlier.

Cal is squeaky clean. He pays his coaches top dollar and can recruit on the level. No need to stoop to the stuff programs like Louisville and Auburn have to do to get good players.


Hold on, just so we have it on record you are saying that no KY basketball player has been provided any cash since Cal has been there? Like zero, nada, none?

That doesn't prove a damn thing. OJ said he was innocent, too.

Honestly, with the way the NCAA works it'll be 10 years before they get to anyone not involved in the FBI investigation.

At this point it appears that this thing will be so big that not many, if any, individual programs will be penalized. Looks like the Feds will get the individuals and then the NCAA as a whole will be reprimanded and sent a stern letter of warning.

Programs who cheat in the future will prolly get hammered more severely than they would have before this

Most people on this thread are just insecure that their programs suck, so they want every other team to go down. Your also fooling yourself if you don't think most basketball and football programs are not providing some shady things (maybe not money) to players. Including UK. Pitino would've gone to the grave with the sex scandal. Joe Pa went the grave with his knowledge of the Penn St scandal. Kind like Game of Thrones, everyone can be cool but ultimately they're all a piece of shite.
