OK, you disgrace your institution of higher learning -- so they put you in their hall of fame... as what, a role model for current students? And lets not forget to include Coach Cal. Camby, 4 others, inducted into UMass Hall of FameExcerpt AMHERST, Mass. (AP) — Portland Trail Blazers center Marcus Camby is among five former athletes and coaches scheduled to be inducted into the University of Massachusetts Athletic Hall of Fame. John Calipari, currently coach at Kentucky and Camby's coach at UMass from 1993 to 1996, is expected to attend Friday's induction ceremony.
Camby was named the Naismith National Player of the Year in 1996 when he led the Minutemen to a 35-2 record and the Final Four. The NCAA vacated the Final Four appearance after it was revealed that Camby had accepted gifts from agents while still a student.

Yawn ...
while I agree with original suggestion that, to in some way immortalize one of your past ranks, who is clearly worthy of critical, rather than endearing eyes, is obviously strange ... in the very least, I obviously question the parallel to Tim Tebow. Has there been too much ESPTBWN over the past couple of years? Most certainly, there has been. What do I think of the idea to build statues of an elite handful of Florida's past athletes? Well, I think that is a scary slope to ski, at the very least. But to liken Camby to Tebow? Please.
Tebow has yet to accomplish anything on the professional level. Camby is no Jordan, but he has a much greater resume at this point. Also, Camby has never done anything wrong ... at least that hurt his team/former team. Nor have any of his actions reflected poorly on his former coach. You disagree??? Talk to a certain man's bank in a certain state that cares about horses ...
Just sayin ...
