Not he should’ve known but the proof that he did, which should be easy to do. If you have proof, I’m with you. If not, they’re just empty changes, right? It's just like with Marcus Camby. Cal expressed surprise that Camby got paid. In the case of Rose. That thing went on for so long... as I said before. There is no way he was not aware of what was going on.... based on Cal's track record. And as I have already said.... Cal has become great at denying and covering his tracks. Just look at his record.

There's plenty of proof for those who are willing to see. Sure, there's some unproven smoke (and a lot of it) to go along with the actual findings and admissions, but if you are willing to believe that a ballplayer who barely passed Algebra I and couldn't form complete sentences suddenly became a whiz in advanced algebra, then you're simply too dense to have a meaningful conversation with. Today's smoke is also tomorrow's proof, so keep being willfully blind or better yet, go over to Rupp Rafters where you belong. You're a time-waster who literally adds nothing to the conversation and I've let you waste enough of my time. Next move is to simply put you on the ignore list where you belong.

TheWatShot Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 1 hour ago, FKIM01 said: LOL...Bledsoe didn't do that. Scott's story is a little off. As I recalled it, he failed or nearly failed Algebra 1 and then miraculously got an A in Algebra 2. If you even heard the kid try to do interviews back then, you'd be confident he didn't ace Algebra 2 after struggling so much in the first one. What makes me angry here is how the system fails these kids...pushes them through simply because they can play ball with very little thought about giving them an education that will allow them to function as an adult. That happens at the "better" schools too. Look no further than Nojel Eastern's recent announcement about not getting into Michigan after three years of that fine Purdue college education. Yeesh. I get why they want to be paid...these kids are being used and some of the educations they are receiving "for free" are pretty much worth just that. It was more suspicious than that. He failed Algebra 1 twice, then aced Algebra 3 before even taking Algebra 2 (which he also aced). He had a 1.9 GPA after his junior year before making straight A's as a senior, which bumped his GPA up to 2.5...the minimum requirement to be eligible for college athletics. The investigation into that one reached a dead end when his high school transcripts mysteriously disappeared, even though state law required them to be saved until he'd been out of high school for 3 years (it had only been one year).

I knew it was something goofy like that. Thanks for setting the record straight, although our UK fanboy @Sark will still believe that Bledsoe became an overnight genius and good old coach Cal knew nothing about his academic exploits.

FKIM01 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Just now, Sark said: So, what proof do you have that Cal was involved? Why did the NCAA ignore it? Again, anyone can make accusations, but proof is the key, right? Congratulations...you've graduated to the ignore list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he should be punished even though there’s zero evidence that says he cheated at UMass, Memphis or UK? Umm. The NCAA fined UMASS $150,000 and stripped them of their final four appearance in 1996. Since then.... as I keep saying. Cal has gotten better at covering his tracks.

BobSaccamanno Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 On 6/24/2020 at 11:10 AM, Sark said: It’s probably aimed at people who are delusional enough think it’s just a matter of time until IU wins big again because, well, we’re IU, and we’re an elite basketball school because we won an NCAA championship over 30 years ago. So we’re going to win one again. Nebraska and Michigan know this feeling in football, and both are much closer to national championships than we are. That’s what it means to live in the past from the writer's point of view. Nebraska football isn’t remotely in better shape than IU basketball. I don’t mind skepticism but let’s function in the real world. I’m not saying it’s impossible but Nebraska has significant structural problems that are an albatross on their potential for upside.

IU Scott Posted June 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Just now, Sark said: It was arguing to ask you to provide proof, which you refused to do? You got mad because I said you weren’t a fan, which the mod said was out of bounds. Now you’re mad simply because I’m asking for proof that you can’t provide? That’s a double standard. I have shown you proof after proof with 7 articles I linked but you probably did not read 1 sentence in any of them. I guess you are just naïve if you really believe Cal or coach K run clean programs. it is time for this to end so I am putting you on ignore.

Don't bother. Her doesn't understand the nuances of the English language so he thinks "closer" is the same as "more recent." That they have a more recent championship is what he actually means.
