In other news, John Calipari was reprimanded yesterday for accepting a 500 win game ball. Sources say the NCAA was deeply deeply troubled.

If I were Penn State i'd be ****ing pissed
There's no way any of these schools would get punished for what UK did in the late 80's in today's world. Where is the standard that anybody is supposed to be held to.
What would they penalize them for? This is a criminal matter along with the associated huge civil suits they will be paying.
I think the NCAA is afraid to do anything a school over these kinds of issues after the Penn St debacle.
Just saw this on the inter-news.
Amazing - they didn't find anything because they didn't freaking look, most likely not at all.
And I know this is the "what if" game, but we all know damned well if this had been UK, the NCAA would have literally shut down the entire athletics department, and most likely without much of anything in the world of hard evidence.

Knowingly covering up sexual assault? If it's just a criminal matter, why aren't those that were complicit in the cover up not being charged?
Again, if this were UK, the NCAA would have beaten us black and blue for years, and ESPN would dedicate an entire website to the "ongoing investigation" for the same number of years, and probably beyond.
Lack of institutional control maybe?
If the NCAA is above schools and takes the revenue of schools and kids, shouldn’t they be the ones responsible for what happens underneath them? Perhaps they share responsibility of what happens at these schools. If they don’t properly enforce and investigate they enable these things to happen.
I think that would be a stretch. The NCAA learned its lesson in cases like this with Penn St. This is a matter the courts will deal with and should deal with. Why burden the teams and coaches with potential penalties when they had nothing to do with this.
That isn't how it works. This was a criminal matter. The NCAA is not a police force. Dang I hated defending those bozo's but you guys are forcing me to.
NCAA is not above the schools. The NCAA is the schools. It’s a member organization and the schools write the NCAA by-laws. The reason the NCAA handles things the way they do is because that is how the schools want it.
Didn’t seem to stop the NCAA in punishing Penn St. What happened there was criminal not athletic.
Let's go with one of their favorites - lack of institutional control.
You may want to ask @UKnCincy about that. The short answer is, that isn't lack of institutional control with respect to NCAA rules.
And the NCAA was completely out of line when doing that and had to ignore their own rules to do so.
Which is why they got their ass handed to them in court and had to walk back all of the penalties. The NCAA had no business inserting themselves in that situation and got embarrassed in court because of their actions.
Higgins Higgins Higgins Higgins and Higgins. Also Higgins did I mention Higgins. Also Cal getting a letter for receiving a 500 win ball from UK. You think rat face gets that letter? Also 99 percent of the time we get under seeded in a ridiculous bracket. Also Higgins if I didn't mention him
This is legit... its a Legal matter. there are no NCAA rules about this in the book... so like penn state... the law will take care of it.
I’m not asking for evidence of your claim. I’m asking why would the NCAA be out to get UK?
