Do I think Calipari has a lot of connections and uses them to his advantage? Yes. Could he possibly have broken some NCAA rules? Sure. As the saying goes "If you're not cheating, you're not trying!"
If Calipari wants to move to Dayton for a "retirement" job in a few years I would gladly take him as long as he keeps getting recruits.

From what I know regarding Calipari, the AAU/BigShots tournament circuit, recruits, and the funneling of money to him via family members...it would make you sick. I have close personal contact with people who have close ties to all of this and get accurate info. the big business of college basketball drives it and the real money comes from the funneling of college players to certain agents for the pro contracts. Not the money from getting kids to their school...but rather getting the big money once the kids go pro...and there aren't too many kids that funnel kids to the pros season after season.
Is he the only one that does it? Nope. He is a sleaze, no matter how you shake it.
