October 17, 2019
October 17, 2019
As I scanned sports stories this morning, I dug into one because Kentucky Basketball coach John Calipari and I would finally agree on something. Calipari came out against expanding the NBA Draft. I assumed he believed it would be bad for college players because it would make sticking on an NBA roster more difficult than with the […]

The NCAA is getting some heat for not extending its rules and authority to include penalties for academic fraud. There is a good reason for this. Schools like North Carolina funneled athletes into classes that existed on paper only. Others have tutors complete assignments for athletes who excel on the court or field but struggle […]

Justice is served as Rick Pitino settles his lawsuit against Louisville for $0

I love justice. The moments when justice happens seem few and far between, but that only makes them more enjoyable. When former basketball coach Rick Pitino sued the University of Louisville for more than $35-million in a wrongful termination lawsuit, I feared U of L might be forced to pay something to their ex-coach whose […]
