[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 131650366, member: 1812660"] That's right about Cal at UK always leaving a scandal behind. He should be safe at UK where those kind of things get glossed over like the KU shoe scandal. But it still infuriates me to watch the NCAA be so toothless and hypocritical. More so because the media, and to a lesser extent fans, just go along with it despite it being obvious. I'll preface this with the fact that I have no love for Boeheim. But when a Syracuse scandal was discovered over 5 years after it took place, Boeheim had to vacate wins from the time it happened AND serve a half season suspension at the time it was discovered. It was an academic scandal if I recall correctly that he had no provable connection to and one that could easily have taken place without his knowledge, but the NCAA still held him to account. Something like fake classes or "tutors" doing the work for the players pretty much amounting to players doing absolutely nothing and being awarding passing grades. Yet Cal never had to face any consequence for the scandals found at UMASS and Memphis which he definitely did or at least should have known about. It's not like Pete Carroll at USC who was out of the NCAA jurisdiction by the time the scandal was out. Again, not saying Boeheim shouldn't have been punished, but Cal has much more provable dirt on him and yet the NCAA let's him go on without punishment altogether. [/QUOTE]
