Yet again, they cleared so much they removed their final 4 banner, they did do that didn't they? Plain and simple and the NCAA even told Memphis their investigation in to him was not done, play him at your own risk.
Now what coach would not have played him Vital asks? Well when given a similar situation with Vasco Etimov, Dean didn't play the kid, later it was determined that the kid could have played all but maybe a game or 2 but Dean waited until the situation with the NCAA was totally determined and it cost the kid most of his first season with us, I strongly suspect Roy would do no different.
What I find to be extremely funny is this notion Ky fans seem to have, that everyone is out to get them, that the NCAA is always looking for a way to hang them. From the other side it looks as if the NCAA has gone out of their way to NOT look for issues with both their coach or their program. While Alabama may be the huge program in SEC football, Ky is the same in SEC basketball and it is really clear to those not SEC loyalists that the SEC gets break after break from the NCAA because it does not want its cash cows taken down.
The NCAA makes to much money off men's basketball for it to lose either of its 2 selected cash cows in KY or duke. Being honest, don't think they wanted to take us down either because we are as well a huge cash cow for them in basketball, which pays the NCAAs bills. But the yellow dog journalists playing follow the leader crucified us in their rags and turned public opinion against us placing the NCAAs backs to the wall to do something, even if it was outside of their scope of authority, just as what happened with Penn St.
But no, the NCAA is not out to get Ky nor duke, if anything they are protected. Yet the entire sports world knows full well the association of William Wesley to Kalipari and Ky and it is just a matter of time before that is exposed and the NCAA forced to deal with it publicly, the FBI may be in the process of doing just that now...
