    i dont believe its "official" yet, but the commercial-appeal is reporting that memphis basketball is going to have to vacate its 38 wins from its 07-08 season.

    i wonder how kentucky feels about hiring coach cal now?

    Thank goodness they missed those free throws in that championship game.

    Can you image the fallout then?

    It is official ---

    University of Memphis to forfeit entire season.
    Calipari is Kentucky’s problem now
    From today’s Memphis, TN Commercial Appeal -

    The links: Geoff Calkins: NCAA ruling less about Memphis, more about Calipari : GoMemphisTigers : Your leading source for The University of Memphis Tigers

    Memphis Tigers found guilty by NCAA, must vacate 2007-08 season, will appeal : GoMemphisTigers : Your leading source for The University of Memphis Tigers

    They are arguing to the grave that these incidents had nothing to do with Cal.

    right. and its just a coincidence umass got into trouble from incidents that occured when he was there.

    they can just keep telling themselves he's innocent.

    OK.
    Send them the links in my prior post - I know they will never admit it - but I suspect what really makes some of them mad is that when Cal was interviewing for the UK job he and Memphis knew about the NCAA probe and never mentioned it. The local paper indicated the NCAA releases nothing initially and leaves it up to the school.

    Maybe the folks at the University of Memphis are smarter than some give them credit for being.

    They really have no doubts about him. Cal is their savior. He has not done anything wrong in his life.

    Kentucky basketball fans make Alabama football fans sound rational.
