Calipari has never had a national championship vacated. Umass lost in the first game of the Final 4 that was vacated in 1996. Memphis lost in the Championship game to Kansas in 2008 and that was vacated. If you're going to be critical at least get your facts right.

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.

At least you both can admit that he's not the only one cheating.
Ask yourself this question. If UD had somehow cheated and gotten caught for something that would cause the NCAA to vacate the 2014 trip to the Elite 8 would you honestly feel any differently about it. You still got to go to Memphis and you still have all the great memories from that tournament run. The NCAA can't take that away from you just like they can't take away the memories from the 1996 Umass and 2008 Memphis runs. They can take away a banner but who really cares about that 25 years from now.
