Memphis May Be Getting In A Lot Of Trouble

The Memphis men's basketball program has been charged by the NCAA with major violations during the 2007-08 season under former coach John Calipari.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal first reported the story on Wednesday after obtaining a letter detailing the allegations through the Freedom of Information Act.

The allegations include "knowing fraudulence or misconduct" on an SAT exam by a player on the 2007-08 team.

The wording of the letter to Memphis indicates that the player in question only competed during the 2007-08 season and the 2008 NCAA tournament. The player's name was redacted in the letter due to privacy laws.

Sources told ESPN.com Wednesday night that Derrick Rose was the player in question. He only played one year for Memphis before being selected No. 1 in the 2008 draft by the Chicago Bulls. ESPN

This seems pretty obvious to me. i was waiting for Memphis to eventually get busted and Calipari to get busted. I mean the guy was getting recruits Blue Chips style for a while and there is no way that program could have been clean. Calipari has been involved with NCAA violations in the past. After his 1995-96 Final Four season at UMass, it was discovered center Marcus Camby had accepted money and gifts from two sports agents. The NCAA made UMass forfeit all 35 wins and vacate its Final Four appearance and banner. Well hopefully, that doesn't affect his time at Kentucky, which i already predicted a final four next year.

Why I Hate UNC

As a gigantic Duke fan, it seems pretty natural that I would hate the Tar Holes but the truth is, until last night I really was not filled with outright hatred towards them. I absolutely love the Tobacco Road rivalry and I'm a big ACC guy so it is not horrible to see them do well. Especially when Duke is sucking balls. Somebody has to carry the banner for the ACC right?

Well, my respectful dislike has just crossed the line into full blown disgust. Normally, I get excited when UNC is bounced from the tourney and it was hard to watch them win it all in 2005. A part of me felt like this year was theirs again and I had already come to grips with 2 titles in 4 years. The way they were blowing teams out over the past few weekends was impressive to say the least. So I said fuck it, I'm putting my money on these fucksticks.

Last night was a gamblers dream with Memphis giving up 2 and a hook and UNC giving 4. It all seemed like such a sure thing. I took a little parlay action betting 1 to win 4 on both favorites. Memphis held up their end of the deal easily beating the UCLA. All UNC had to do was beat a team full of choke artists that barely escaped the Elite 8 matchup with Davidson.

We all know what happened and now I'm a hundo in the hole in stead of 3 in the black. Fuck You Pyscho T, Fuck You Wayne, Fuck You Ty and most of all Fuck You Roy you terrible excuse for D1 coach.
