True..It's the same as horseracing.If a horse comes up with a bad test its the trainer (head guy) that gets hammered even if he hasn't seen the horse only to saddle it on race day...
Bilas now on Valvano's show

Yes, he is wrong that they violated "every rule it's ever had".
Okay. Just curious as I've retained most of the larger firms in SLC and PC.
How could Calipari have known about Rose or Camby? Didn't seem to matter then either.
It seems that sitting or paying $ back to regain eligibility (see Tubby Fax Machine) works going forward but not backwards. The games you play in when ineligible do not get whitewashed, only the games going forward after you have remedied the problem. Otherwise, Camby goes to NBA, gets paid, sends some money back and good to go?
Good point. If they find this out after they have all left, then there can't be a resolution giving them eligibility back. Nice work.
Because 10 years ago, they read on here that he was one of the best in the business. They didn't know why then, but they parroted the line.
Then, they continued to parrot it while he was becoming a hack, because they didn't really understand what was good about him in the first place, so they didn't understand what was bad as he turned.
More are coming around to the (new) reality of Jay.
Give it 1-2 years, few will like him.
The head coach "did not meet his monitoring responsibility."
Bilas is moving the goal posts by attempting to pin this on whether Pitino knew or not. He probably did. But even if you can't prove it, Pitino is still guilty in the eyes of the NCAA, and according to their rules.
Pretty sad that Bilas and his ilk continue to fall back on the plausible deniability defense that no longer exists. He would have made a great mob lawyer.
On the UNC stuff...if a member institution (UNC) played tricks with academics to keep players eligible, then the NCAA has every right to punish.
The NCAA has no jurisdiction over the non-athletes who may have participated in sham classes. But they certainly have the right to rule athletes retroactively ineligible. The idea that "everybody cheated" is supposed to pass as a defense for cheating is beyond laughable.

Something I don't hear people talking about, when the 'discussion of a monetary value' part of this comes up -- do we really want to split hairs over what a woman is worth? Even moreso that they were underage and likely not making this decision for themselves! These were CLEARLY lower income women, and to say 'well it wasn't really worth that much' is just an awful, awful thing to say. Like it really gets any better if these were the high-class hookers you saw in Wolf of Wall Street.
This whole thing is just astonishing to me. I have to hope that there is severe backlash if UL decides to downplay their penalties by saying 'well these were very low value women.' I just can't get over how disgusting that is, and that a university would even consider that line of thinking.

Well in that case they have the right man for the job in Rick.
What is the status with UNC ?
Seems like that has been dragging on for a long time. How do they get away with it for so long stalling the NCAA. They are creating a blueprint to stall the NCAA v. working with it.
Did the NCAA find "lack of institutional control" with them ? What about what NCAA is accused ? How do they differ on allegations from NCAA ?

Not me. I hated him when he played hated him when he was an assistant coach hated him when he was a nobody at espn and now hate him as a big dog.
Lets put it this way I don't like bilas,never have never will.
He is the reason I don't watch espn anymore except for basketball games, and turn the sound down when bilas or vitale are doing the game.
MIddle of August for UNC. The COI has come out and said there will be no more delays. But you never know...
One thing I heard on the radio today that I never thought of was 'what is keeping the parents of these underage boys from suing UL for providing and encouraging them to have relations with prostitutes?' Pretty good question IMO
