As long as they do, then I don't see the call to arms for having these kid's heads on a platter for struggling in school...either because they were freshmen who didn't put forth effort because they knew they were going pro (Cousins, Bledsoe, Orton) and the NCAA's rules promote it...or because they legitimately struggled

Do you think Cal has role in this at all? Coaches monitor these kids grades and yes Cal did because I heard him talk about John Wall's high GPA about 100 time throught the season so I would assume he knew the other players GPA as well. Then again Cal usually doesn't know about the negative stuff that goes on in his programs so maybe I'm wrong for thinking he knew about the others GPA.

But anyway coaches sit players for grades all the time until they get them up or at least make sure they are trying but I guess UK just got a dim bucnch this time around.

Did Cal sit anyone for grades this year or ever for the matter.

Just Cal making a joke out of the term "college athelete" again.
