Well, if the allegations turn out to be true, it will be the second time that Calipari has coached at a school that had major NCAA issues, but none of the mud stuck to him. Some, even the thoughtful ones, are going to assure us that is a huge problem, and maybe it is in a strictly public relations sense. People, particularly in America, love to play the, "guilt by association," game -- any "bad thing" taints all those associated with it in a position of responsibility, whether or not they had any actual involvement with said "bad thing." That's a favorite pastime here in the U.S., particularly in sports and politics. That means, Dear Reader, that you as a Kentucky fan are now tainted by your association with John Calipari, who is tainted by the Memphis allegations and the UMass scandal. That's how it goes, so if you are looking for the NCAA's letter clearing Coach Cal to provide absolution from your friendly rivals here in the River City and elsewhere, may I suggest you find yourself a home somewhere in the dimension we like to call, "reality."

Ah, yes
Coach Cal is completely blameless in this, and all those people who are going to assume his guilt are fools. FOOLS, I TELL YOU!!! How was he supposed to know that academic violations were occurring under his watch? It’s not like he ran the program or anything.
First those weasels at UMASS tried to frame him (thank goodness his holy aura wasn’t sullied by those snakes), and now Memphis is trying to drag him down with them. Luckily you, dear reader, are wise enough to know that Kentucky would NEVER hire a coach who would sully the proud tradition of Point Shaving, Adademic Violations and direct cash gifts from donors to recruits. How DARE you?

And, while we're at it, I'd like to point out that no one ever PROVED that Richard Nixon
had anything to do with the Watergate break in. There is no way to know what was on those missing tapes.
