The NCAA Infractions Committee is a JOKE. They are so inconsistent it is not even funny. Kanter took money and had to sit for the year and the kid from Kansas got to pay the money back and sit for a few games. What is the difference? If you steal a new Camry or a new Mercedes, do you get more time because one is worth more than the other? Until those that break the rules are busted and the punishments are EQUAL AND SEVERE, then nothing will change. This goes for Coaches as well. If Calipari is dirty then bust him and suspend him from College Coaching forever. None of us here are apart of the NCAA and we all can put a spin on every story printed. One side says banners were removed at UMASS and Memphis under his reign so he is at fault. The other side can say the NCAA cleared him of any violations in both cases. Would Kentucky hire him if they thought he was dirty and would get them on probation? Is Cal the best cheater in the game or the beat recruiter in the game? He wasn't suspended or had any violations found to be his fault at Memphis for however many years plus his tenure at Kentucky. I seem to remember a coach at Kentucky in the 90's that started getting NBA player one right after another. The 1996 team was as talented a team that has came along in a while. Kids knew he would get them to the next level and they kept coming, Mashburn, McCarty, Delk, Walker, Anderson, Magloire, Mohammed, Mercer ..... They kept coming. Either Pitino had the best checkbook or the snowball kept rolling downhill for he was the best recruiter or the best cheater.
