It's one thing to apparently fake an SAT (Derrick Rose), but it's another thing to talk about grades that a school gave out. Grades are at the discretion of the school and teacher. You don't think some schools and some teachers out there ever give higher grades to star athletes? It probably happens all the time. It will be nearly impossible to find any wrong doing on that other than the illegal release of the transcript, but that will likely be on the school, coach or media source.

Now - with regard to paying the family's rent for 3 months. That could cause him to be ineligible. But again, what does that have to do with Cal and how could he or anyone else have known that or found it out?

Personally, I'm almost shocked this is as much of a story as it is.

I think most everyone knows im not a big uk fan, but this isnt directed at just uk. It seems to me that the way of current college basketball is to find kids with talent and get them to college, no matter what. There are a few schools that dont do this but most do. Then when something happens or someone lets the cat out of the bag about fixed grades in high school or a kids family receiving money, everyone acts surprised. If you keep getting kids with talent and problems then eventually its gonna bite you. Given alot of coaches-including Cal-have taken these kind of kids and turned them around, seems like we dont hear much about those, just the bad ones. Sorry to ramble one, just my 2 cents.
