Default Kentucky, Memphis, Gillespie, Calipari fiasco

Entertainment for the football offseason....apparently Derrick Rose's SAT score was fixed so he could get into Memphis. If true, their Final Four appearance could be taken back, which would make the second Final Four a Calipari coached team has lost (UMass in the mid-90s).

So Calipari's new school, Kentucky, is being sued by former coach Billy Gillespie, who says he's owed $6 million. Kentucky has filed a suit back, saying he's owed nothing, never having actually signed a contract in the two years he was coach .

So apparently football doesn't have a monoploy on coaching/cheating/firing/big money dramas.

Apparently the attempt at "equal treatment" is being applied to all collegiate sports.
