facts are facts, John Calipari has never been charged nor found guilty of anything,but the perception is from media and the like who are ignorant of facts. If Calipari wore a blue sweater vest and tried to act holier than thou and got an endorsement for doing it the right way by Bobby "the strangler" Knight, and Cal was found to be a cheat,then the school loses. I happen to think Thad Matta is an excellent coach and a good recruiter,who does it the right way and I would hate for him,the school,or any athletes at tOSU be thought of in a negative way based on JT.

Wow! Shouldn't about any fan sue if their tickets got devalued by a coach who had violations.....Buckeyes could sue for the same thing with Pryor and Tressel.....any lawyers started up anything yet? some easy money. With all the penalties,losses, dropped out of top 25, tOSU football tickets have been devalued. Tressel moved on to a job in the NFL, Pryor left as well, but left the football program in bad light nationally and in disgrace. Lawyers will probably try to add stress, etc to it as well. Who wants some cash?

I agree with you,but lawyers are scum and bottomfeeders, and Calipari and Rose settled out of court.......their situation mirrors ours, forfeited season, and the program has suffered and will for a few years on account of Tressel and Pryor. Those two are living the high life, at the programs expense.

It is still true,this had nothing to do with the NCAA, but tickerholders who filed suit over devalued tickets....forfeited season. The situations mirror,tOSU lost every game in 2010, due to the actions of a few. I look for a lawsuit.....who is responsible for the 2010 season being all losses ? It took the program to national shame and labeled as cheaters. This is the perception, sad but true. I was really hoping to get a win in a bowl against an SEC team, so what is it now instead of 1-9, it is 0-10, that is bad enough,considering tOSU is top dog of the B1G

The Memphis lawyers pulled it off for the exact reason. I think Tressel and Pryor would each cough up 100k and maybe Tressel forfeit some bonus than to go to trial and have to chance exposing the dirt. The plaintiffs and attys basically extorted the $$ in the Memphis lawsuit, whats 100k to those guys,and to not go to trial. It was extortion...legally. I don't agree with it,just saying the situations are the same. If some Buckeye ticket holder decided to do the same, Tressel would settle fast,rather than testify,especially if 100k ends it. Calipari sure settled fast.

Are scum bottom feeder lawyers capable of cheeky shenanigans?

My faith in stereotyping loosely affiliated groups of millions of people in one broad stroke on the internet is being shaken to its core.

Here's my column that I just wrote for The Hoya, Georgetown's Student Newspaper. Also, lol at most of the comments; blind Kentucky fans for all of the ad hominem attacks.

Things quieted down on the scandal front for a few years, and Calipari was able to win at a pretty steady clip. After two consecutive Elite Eight appearances in 2006 and 2007, the Tigers were poised to get over the quarterfinal hump. Besides returning all five starters from a team that had won 33 games, they welcomed super-freshman Derrick Rose.

The team, led by Rose, ended up winning 38 games en route to an appearance in the national championship game. But after the season, it was discovered that Rose had had a stand-in take the SAT in his name and was retroactively ruled ineligible. Therefore, the entire season was forfeited and the banners taken down.

During the investigation, it was found that teammate Robert Dozier was guilty of the same offense. After scoring a very solid 1260 on his SAT the first time around, the University of Georgia had asked Dozier to retake it due to his heinously low PSAT score. He did and scored a 720, which, according to the Educational Testing Service, was one of the biggest drops in SAT history. Dropping from the ranks of the top 20 percent of test-takers to the bottom five percent raised a red flag for Georgia, but don't worry: Calipari found a way for him to become a college student.
