I've seen probation and multiple championships in my lifetime after the fact.
Would it suck? Absolutely. But Kentucky as a program has been there and done that.
I would think as a fan of Free Shoes U that you could understand.

At least you admit Calipari may not be clean.

Sure. I don't know what he does on every recruiting trip or anything like that. You can also say that about most any coach that wins with a few rare exceptions.

Would you prefer for the 2000s to call with online courses instead?

Not many coaches have Calipari's track record in the history of d1 coaching. That's the entire point of the UK hate.

It was a smidge more then Bobby Bowden.
And he was still your coach at your program. Kind of hypocritical to bag on the "history" of Kentucky cheating when you want to roll out the "but he's not here anymore" business.
Can't have it both ways sweetheart.

Calipari is the man. Anyone who says they wouldn't trade their coach for him is either a Kansas fan, Duke fan, or delusional UNC fan. Calipari has recruited this well for 20 years and never once has anything remotely surfaced about him personally doing anything wrong. Now with the type of high-profile recruits he gets the odds of one of them getting in trouble, as seen with Rose and Camby, is higher, but again that's not his fault. And he seems like a decent guy, unlike Saban.

I hate UK basketball and think that Calipari will get caught cheating again at some point but damn he is a good coach.

Good Coach, great recruiter, Great amnesia and turning his head so as not wanting to know what's going on. In the end UK basketball has been on multiple probations due to recruiting and that's FACT. Just a matter of time. Not hating just looking at facts and history. Book it.

I have not once mentioned Kentucky's history. Just simply stated that Calipari is one of the dirtiest coaches. I don't think anyone would argue otherwise.

When did Cal cheat before?

Let's be honest, while Cal isn't an egregious cheater like people like to claim, he recruits a certain type of player that will always eventually get him into trouble.

Good ones?
But in all seriousness, I'm a huge UK fan and Calipari supporter. While I DON'T THINK he is doing anything to cheat, with the incredible success he's had recruiting, one has to wonder.
BUT, while watching the all-access thing with my dad, he made a good point that someone else made. He's coaching at Kentucky. The place recruits itself, and when you add someone who recruits as well as he does (dirty or otherwise) he's going to get the best players. There's no reason to cheat when you can show off to recruits the facilities, fan base, NBA draft success, and the greatness of Big Blue Nation.
If it turns out that he did cheat, I'll be extremely disappointed but I'm not expecting it.

I can at least agree to a point with this criticism. AAU ball is probably has some of the dirtiest cheaters in sports. Unfortunately for anybody who wins, you have to recruit those guys to be successful.
And that can be said for most anyone who is a Top 50 recruit these days. Add that to a rule book that takes a staff just to navigate it, rules are bound to be broken.
