....maybe you should check on the number of NCAA sanctions that actually exist against Calipari?
HINT: You won't find any.
Duke's and Kentucky's football teams are doing great

I don't think anyone really responded to this. What you say is definitely true, but it wasn't until the Stoops era that UK truly took football as serious as they needed to take it.
When you're in the SEC you can't be rolling out mid major type players and think you're going to win. It's taken Mark Stoops several years to fix the lack of recruiting and the lack of good program management that spanned many decades.
When you look at UK now, they have legit SEC players on the field and can finally compete. But it took a yeoman's effort by Stoops to get it to where it is now.
As far as programs like Mizzou getting to the SEC championship game, I haven't looked, but I'll bet the unbalanced schedule played into their favor. Georgia and Florida weren't juggernauts at that time and the rest of the SEC east was mediocre by SEC standards.
I'll bet Mizzou got one or both of Florida and UGA at home or one of them lost a couple games they shouldn't have.
But, like UK this year, they probably didn't have to play Bama, Auburn AND LSU. Heck, they may only have played one of those three.
Also, I'll have to check, I don't think South Carolina has been to any recent SECC games. They were decent here and there, but never anything special. Maybe they got there one time a few years ago when they had Clowney on there squad. But they certainly haven't been there a bunch of times.
But it appears to me that UK has truly taken football seriously now, however, they are still way behind the true powers in the SEC. Trying to compete with UGA, Bama, LSU, Auburn, Florida, UT and both Mississippi schools is not an easy task.

You're right but he left not once but twice after the hammer was about to drop on the programs he led to the final 4, perfect timing huh? He knew what was coming IMO.
Back on topic.
Kentucky about to beat South Carolina for the fifth time in a row. Not sure who Duke has.

We're facing Virginia Tech at 7 PM EST on ESPN 2 in Durham.
We should win but I've seen our football teams lay eggs in the past on primetime TV.
Is it the same amount that the NCAA found UNC guilty of back last October?
Hint: yes, yes it is.
so unc cheated and beat the system, you should be proud of those facts
anyone with honor and integrity would not be proud of those facts
...it is, and yet the embarrassment to UNC as an institution remains. Thank God for loopholes!!

Deflect, deny,..... lather, rinse, repeat.
All the non-athlete students that took AFAM classes are all that saved you.
Wikipedia sums it up pretty nicely...

They were placed on probation for 12 months, however...
A week after the NCAA leveled five major allegations against UNC-Chapel Hill, an accrediting body has handed down 12 months of probation against the university for failing to meet seven accreditation standards, including academic integrity and control of athletics.
“It’s the most serious sanction we have,” said Belle Wheelan, president of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.
SACS cited the university for 7 out of 18 compliance violations including integrity, comprehensive standards, control of athletics, program content, academic support system, and academic freedom
"The board intended to send a serious message with the 12-month probation," SACS President Dr. Belle S. Wheelan said. "The issue that academic integrity is at the heart of everything our institutions do ... they need to take every step possible to ensure the academic integrity of their programs and degrees."
"SACS places its member institutions on probation only rarely. One can only assume that the decision in this case reflected SACS's frustration with the University's pattern of less-than-forthright testimony about its past failures," UNC history professor Jay Smith said in a statement following the announcement. "Let's all hope that UNC finally learns a hard lesson from this embarrassing punishment."
UNC-Chapel Hill gets 'serious' punishment in wake of scandal
You’re right but they said the classes were legit. Had they ruled the other way we would of got slammed.
Embarrassed over some college kids taking some easy classes??? How hard are the farming classes your basketball players have been taking?
It’s been almost one year since the NCAA cleared UNC & it’s funny to see rival fans still pissed about it.
You keep crying & we’ll keep
You keep crying & we’ll keep
Because UK was proven to be GUILTY. Do you understand the difference????
UK was found guilty of cheating & UNC was not.
You fools bring up our drama so we’re going to counter on what happened to you. The results of both cases won’t change but some of your brethren want to keep hope alive. Trying to tell us how we should feel is a losing battle and it’s obvious some of you are mad and that’s putting it mildly.
They’re mad because they were hoping & praying that UNC would be found guilty & therefore making UNC’s history just as dirty as UK’s BUT that didn’t happen.
UK paid the price for their misdeeds. UNC did not.
The cloud of suspicion is currently looming over UNC. The character of your program is going to be called into question in today's college basketball world by a lot more than just UK fans.
Because,according to the ncaa, UNC didn’t have any misdeeds to pay for.
Why is that so hard for you to accept? The only “cloud of suspicion” over UNC is in the minds of those that are upset & mad because they were wrong about UNC.
The denial of the fact that academic fraud occurred at UNC is a spectacle to watch. At least you're consistent.
You're stretching... The NCAA stated it was out of their jurisdiction. A huge cop out by the NCAA..... You were found guilty by an organization that couldn't deal out the penalties the NCAA could have.

Didnt most UNC fans tell everyone that the NCAA couldn’t punish UNC over those classes? Yet, you all chose not to believe us. Those classes were approved & accredited classes that the SACS found some irregularities & put UNC on academic probation.
The facts show that more regular students took the classes than athletes.
You got suckered in by Dan Kane & his bullshit but just can’t let it go.
I see you don’t read much. Your question was answered yesterday. Are you going to go all honor/integrity on me again because I need a good laugh.
