I don't understand the furor over a phone call, when, let's face it, Memphis doesn't require its players to go to class, its players live in a palace for free that doesn't qualify as any kind of college dorm and they get high paying internships at Fedex regardless of ability or actual performance.
Never mind the World Wide Wes connection. This is like Capone going down for tax evasion.

Never mind the World Wide Wes connection. This is like Capone going down for tax evasion. What it is-an opening. Once you can prove a rules violation, it opens up a can of worms that could lead to NCAA doing an investigation--and the "small" stuff always leads to bigger stuff. Everyone knows they cheat and are dirty--just a matter of how long they hide in shadows before getting exposed. Who knows? This could lead to ESPN or Sports Illustrated doing one of their "investigative reports" and next thing you know--Calipari is slipping out in midnight and heading to Worldwide Wes for some seclusion.

Update Buried at the bottom of Andy Katz's article otherwise focusing on Tyreke Evans: tinyurl.com/6o7qgkSomeone needs to explain to me why the school should be let off the hook solely because the kid didn't enroll. It strikes me that a all recruiting violations (including seconday violations) should be addressed regardless of how effective the violation was. If not, a school under investigation can merely pull the scholarship offer (assuming the kid hasn't enrolled yet) to avoid sanctions. Where is the deterrence in that?
