| LoI Closure Alright, BP has been slapped down (and I don't mean the multinational), and the football program is alright?
So, in a deep irony, Kiffin managed to lower the hammer on the basketball program? Will the self-imposed sanctions be enough to satisfy the NCAA?
Very disappointed in BP. It just puts an asterisk on everything he has accomplished.
Is the LoI closed now? Or do investigations continue?

Pearl is the only one with enough mellons to fess up to it. Kentucky signs a player that got paid to play in Turkey last year (Katner) Seen where they got some shirts going around free Enes on it. |

I (gulp) have to agree with Hat on this: if he comes clean it is probably a wrist slap.
Now it has mushroomed into a real dark cloud complete with a teary mea culpa. It just looks really, really bad. It casts a long shadow - like a dark cloud. |
