So, it's not true that Calipari forfeited wins for an entire season at UMass and then again at Memphis, then promptly left those programs at that point?
If you do research from those who have really delved into some of the heaviest offenders, those that aren't just giving opinions but have some substantial information to the contrary, you might come to a reasonable opinion that it is not a "silly" notion. Yes, the NCAA did not find him personally at fault, but the NCAA is rife with many examples of misconduct. Do you really think that Calipari wasn't running from the intensity of the heat closing in on him?Calipari didn't forfeit those wins. The NCAA screwed UMass over an agent that had nothing to do Marcus Camby's recruitment. He was already in school.
You can argue about the Memphis thing and Rose's SAT (or ACT can't remember) and his scores. Calipari was cleared of any wrongdoing in both situations. Even if you find him at fault for both situations, Calipari is far from being the most crooked guy. Hell, let's not forget the current investigation of many Adidas coaches right now. Calipari hasn't been under any sort of investigation at Kentucky. Plus with his NBA track record, he most likely doesn't need to cheat (unless you think every major college player gets paid, which is a different story). The Calipari is a cheat narrative is silly.
