Its late at night and I want to do some more research on both of these issues before I comment a great deal. But two quick things:
(1): The more I hear about the Calipari situation, the less I am concerned. The SAT issue occurred before the kid got on campus and the money issue looks to not be a huge situation, especially if it is simply a failure to pay back funds. We shall see if that remains the case, but that is how it looks now. Either way, UK says they knew about it, contacted the NCAA and the NCAA still gave them a clean sheet on Calipari. Assuming all that is true, then this may end up being much concern about nothing. More on this tomorrow.
(2): In my view, Gillispie may have just done a career kamikaze mission down in Texas. For reasons that I really want to get into tomorrow, this law dog believes that Clyde has put himself out there to take a public relations beat down unlike any other. On the legal question, Clyde has a decent chance at being successful on one of his claims. But by filing this case, he has put his entire career at UK under the spotlight and has given the University the chance to define in detail why it let him go “for cause.” I cant imagine the reason he would do that. It will be ugly before this is over and Clyde only has himself and this new lawsuit to thank.
A LOT to talk about tomorrow….come join us

Awesome Matt’s coming around on the money issue not mattering.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:47 am
Btw 1st and those kind of things.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:52 am
Lots to talk about? How about possible starting lineup scenerios?
May 28th, 2009 at 12:52 am
Will Miller start 2 guard?
May 28th, 2009 at 12:52 am
BCG might have thrown in the towel careerwise and knowningly done so. Why the F not? He’s loaded (money and booze). Who cares? Let’s talk about the case, not this joker.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:52 am
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone claiming ‘1st’ ever actually be first on this blog…
May 28th, 2009 at 12:53 am
By the end of the lawsuit, UK will make BCG stand in the restroom stall.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:55 am
Also, questions about suing your former employer during a job interview might be a bit tough to explain.
Also tough to explain, fake phone calls while being chased by a reporter, “gossip” about treatment of players, and being an asshole to your bosses.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:57 am
think about all of the people who have this to read at work first thing in the morning.
May 28th, 2009 at 12:59 am
At http://www.kyhumanities.org/chautauquacharacters.html you can hire Adolf Rupp!!! Would be great for a party!!!
May 28th, 2009 at 1:13 am
I think it’s safe to say that Clyde’s a mess. I honestly hope he gets his life in order.
May 28th, 2009 at 1:19 am
I hope UK drops the hammer on his ass and all the dirty laundry is aired. What a POS. Can’t believe I defended this a-hole while he was here.
May 28th, 2009 at 1:22 am
I just wish I knew the stories behind BCG…I guess time will tell (since nobody else is)
May 28th, 2009 at 1:23 am
I think the question we will be asking many years from now is: “How did Billy G get this job?”
May 28th, 2009 at 1:23 am
One thing is for sure:
The Memphis PR department and Media is in full force tonight trying
to do everything they can to shift blame to Calipari and not on their
Adminstration.
All I can do is laugh!
Looking around on all types of message boards and national sport sites,
I think UK fans would be best to treat this as the NCAA is treating:
AS A NON ISSUE with regards to UK and Calipari.
May 28th, 2009 at 1:25 am
I’m officially over TCP. This site is awesome.
May 28th, 2009 at 1:28 am
#6 he was first and he was also second…. same person
May 28th, 2009 at 1:36 am
And TCP is still a great publication. The internet site, much like kentuckysportsreport and some others cant compete with blogs like this. When a fan puts up a site and runs it for pure adoration for the team, and not for profit, it will get the news out quicker. Also, not that they ever do, but sites like this can post things without checking sources because all they have to do is direct you to the link that they read it from and say that site is reporting…blah blah blah… TCP likes to report their own findings and I see this site support thier findings before by posting Aaron’s Blog which links to TCP quite a few times………But after all of that, you are right… This sight rocks # 16
May 28th, 2009 at 1:37 am
15. Memphis fans are the most pathetic assemblage of college basketball followers on the planet.
I had one tonight tell me that he would gladly see Memphis get the death penalty if it meant that Calipari went down with them.
They went from vigorously defending Cal to the brink of insanity to completely throwing him under the bus and using the very barbs hurled at them to try and get at UK fans. It’s really sad.
May 28th, 2009 at 1:39 am
#19 Funny thing is that I have yet talked to a Memphis fan or posted with
a Memphis fan that has seemed to actually read the NCAA offical report.
Doesn’t really matter, this has nothing to do with Calipari.
In fact I think UK fans should never mention this Memphis problem and
Calipari in the same sentence. The NCAA sure didn’t nor should we
May 28th, 2009 at 1:54 am
16) I’m starting to think the same thing. I’m gonna give TCP a chance through next season and see how things work out.
May 28th, 2009 at 1:58 am
I have never wanted summer to go so fast…
May 28th, 2009 at 2:04 am
I still regret not being in that bar last weekend and talking shit to BCG right before punching his ol’ ass out.
May 28th, 2009 at 2:27 am
It really makes you wonder if Billy and his attorney knew about this Memphis thing- the timing couldn’t have been more impeccable for them. If the UK administration needed one problem to go away quickly- now would be the time. I still love that we have Coach Cal- but I do hate this happened. This puts out the perception that he or we do not need right now. I honestly think the best thing to do would be for everyone to let this thing blow over as quickly as possible.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:26 am
Law Dog? Ha, I have a friend that teaches at UNC law and occasionally over in Durham. Law Dog would be one of her more charitable descriptions of Dukies.
May 28th, 2009 at 3:56 am
Observation and Question
1. If Cal has known about this since January then it makes perfect sense why he was looking for a way out and eager to get to UK (his dream job). Not that he has done anything wrong but in court of public opinion, perception becomes reality to many. Great move coach. No wonder a higher paycheck couldn’t keep you there.
2. If he appears in front of the NCAA on June 6th, does that not shorten his trip to China? I believe he leaves on Tuesday, correct? Would certainly be bad to piss off either party–NCAA or Communist China.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:03 am
26-
He is meeting with NCAA investigators prior to his trip and is discussing “attending” the meeting via teleconference, since this trip was planned in advance of the hearing date being announced.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:08 am
Gotcha, thanks. I just got on and this was the first I heard about the issue. I am trying to play catch up on the info and still studying what is happening. Those were my first impressions (observation and question).
May 28th, 2009 at 4:14 am
Just saw on espn.com a video of Pat Forde questioning whether Cal let UK know about the allegations or if UK performed it’s due diligence checking on Calipari. Right under the video is a story citing a statement from Cal and UK saying they knew about it, and that Calipari has the letter from NCAA saying he is not implicated. Irresponsible by Forde to say such things on TV, when the website already has these statements.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:15 am
Who hasn’t done their due diligence in this case? Pat Forde.
May 28th, 2009 at 4:18 am
If I am not mistaken, Cal addressed this at his press conference. I believe they stated that he was forthcoming with information and that the University contacted the NCAA before moving forward. NCAA assured UK that Cal has never been mentioned in any investigation. It is becoming clear now why those statements were made as well as why Cal wanted out.
Two assistants followed Cal to UK. I hope their names don’t get brought up in this thing.
May 28th, 2009 at 5:51 am
I agree with Matt, Billy just opened himself up to all kinds of stuff by doing it this way. On the other hand, he probably doesn’t give a crap.

Feel free to tell Dan Wetzel he’s a knucklehead.
May 28th, 2009 at 7:29 am
IF BCG’s case goes to trial, BCG will probably never get another head-coaching job at a D-1 school again. He is basically committing career suicide, like Jonesy said. I hope all the Sh$tty stuff he did is made public so we (the fans) can know the truth (although I have feeling most do already know). Additionally, I hate that thsi issue w/ Memphis’ BBall program has come out. Regardless of whether or not Cal is implicated, he was the head-coach, and this happened on his watch. That is two NEAR misses w/ NCAA at two schools where he was head-coach. I LOVE Cal, but this is worriesome to this Cat fan. I just don’t want the same thing to happen to our program….

WHAS radio has a poll asking if you think BCG deserves to be paid. As of a bit ago, it was pretty even. About 47% yes and no.
You know all UL fans are on there saying yes.

Can’t wait to hear more of the legalese of Matt and his
opinions on Cal and Billy G but in the meantime, I did find this
excellently acted “footage” of the “trial of Billy G”
It’s great!

May 28th, 2009 at 7:48 am
BCG’s conduct has already torpedoed his chances at a real job - i can not imagine a college administrator that would approve hiring him given what has surfaced about his personal habits, and more importantly his abuse and hazing of the players. ( There are lots of rules about that dealing with frat boys - i can’t imagine basketball players are exempt - especially coming from a university EMPLOYEE). On the other hand, given the fact he isn’t getting a decent job again anytime soon , he does not have much to lose - so he is dangerous. But I fail to understand how venue will remain in Texas and I would think it would be removed back to Lexington for trial. I also wonder what kind of lawyer has time to devote to a client who will self destruct or be destroyed - and who has already turned down significant and reasonable settlement proposals ( which I am sure have been offered). All about the ego for both of them i suspect.

LOL, looking at one of the Louisville forums, some of their fans are actually praying for Cal to get in trouble with the NCAA. It’s a good thing for them adultery is not an NCAA violation!
May 28th, 2009 at 8:15 am
43) Exactly! There’s only one coach in the state that has broken the law, and that’s Trickey Rickey.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:21 am
Matt is gonna tell us that Kentucky is an “at will” employment state. The clinker to all this is the written “pre-agreement” that Mitch and BCG signed which in effect has the force of a contract. I haven’t seen the agreement or what it references as to termination for cause, choice of forum, etc etc.
Even the old lawdog will acknowledge that anyone can sue for anything - anytime. Its winning the case that is hard. As for BCG taking this to trial — lawdog is correct, BCG really doesn’t want all his idiosyncrasies made public - otherwise he can forget ever coaching again - and that includes crab orchard elementary.
It does appear though that BCG may have a good lawyer — this smells of a prolonged threat/negotiation on their part.
But then again, perhaps BCG is gonna take it to trial — (then we find out about which young women he was/is dating).
Nothing like a good soap opera folks.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:23 am
43) I know, I know. Pitiful, isn’t it? The one I work with was all happy-go-lucky because, apparently, some retard in the news reported Cal had resigned… yeah… HAHAHAHAHA. That grin slowly faded when I stated the FACTS.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:24 am
I just love the Kentucky/Louisville rivalry even more now with Cal here. It cracks me up the card fans are actually praying for Cal to go down. lol Can’t wait until Rick P. comes to Rupp and his team gets drilled.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:31 am
I love going to the Loserville forums and seeing that they only talk about Kentucky. They dont talk about their own program. Cal being here is treatening and I love it.
47) Cant wait either.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:34 am
A kid that ended up one of Cal’s players apparently cheated on his SAT’s before going to Memphis = front page news in Ville.
A woman getting screwed by RP himself who apparently cheated on his WIFE before paying to get rid of the problem = now news in Ville.
Ville = Credibility
May 28th, 2009 at 8:37 am
Maybe it’s just me but it seems like it would be awfully difficult to prove someone cheated
on their SAT two years ago IMO.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:38 am
33 I love Cal and UK, but there is no reason to call Wetzel a knucklehead based on that article. It was a pretty fair write-up based on what is known. Wetzel actually said we should hire Calipari before we did.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:39 am

Speaking of what is and is not NCAA violations, and thinking about this University of Memphis problem brings some interesting thoughts to my head. I have no idea what the facts are in this case, but I think there is something wrong when a situation like giving a kid money to visit a dieing family member back home is an NCAA violation, but throwing a kid off a bus and making him walk, or forcing him to sit crying in a bathroom stall are not NCAA violations.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:40 am
TRUE STORY: Billy G was playing golf yesterday at the University Club with some Englishmen.
3 Things make this sighting strange:
* Why is BCG playing golf on the course of the University that he is publicly suing???
*Given numerous opportunity GOD choose not to strike BCG down with a bolt of lightening. Not that anyone would want this to happen BUT for those who believe in Karma and severe cases of Irony then would agree that BCG was definitely flurting with disaster on this particular day.
*Who the hell was that british guy?

53) Perhaps he was getting lessons so he can break into the PGA ranks? Ya know, since his coaching career is officially going to die.
Well, unless Ricky P. leaves U of L. I’m sure they would get Gillispie just to irrk us, but that would make beating them even MORE fun (if possible).
May 28th, 2009 at 8:43 am
54-Thanks for the info. I hadn’t read that but that makes sense.
May 28th, 2009 at 8:52 am
If it’s one thing that we UK fans have learned the hard way in the past, it is that these NCAA violations are the University’s problem and not that of the coach. The university will be held responsible. Even if Cal was involved, we have nothing to worry about except his future and not his past. He is at the greatest basketball university in the land now.
I will say this though. Just because the NCAA cleared him doesn’t mean anything. In 1989, the NCAA cleared Eddie Sutton as well. Anyone who thinks he wasn’t involved in what happened is either too young to remember the facts, or you are a total moron!! Look at what happened after that. We got years of probation, and Sutton got off scott free. The only two people I think got very raw deals are Dewayne Casey and especially Eric Manuel!! Enough of reliving the past. The point is, this situation affects us ZERO!!! We have the greatest basketball coach in the land. We also have an awesome administration, especially Sandy Bell. I have no doubt, they will keep us out of NCAA trouble.

I think one thing for sure will occur by Gillispie suing UK: UK will be vindicated for firing Gillispie by the sports world once everyone sees what an awful person and what awful things Gillispie did because it all should come out in the public.I think they should open the flood gates on him. Any run-in with police for possible DUI’s, treatment of players, etc.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:02 am
A true person will ALWAYS shown his/her character when cornered. Billy G has certainly shown his. I have heard of grasping at straws, but his allegations border on the insane. I have also sat and wondered how in the hell he ever got THE job, and I can’t come up with anything. He is a classless, self-serving, ill-mannered, clueless drunk. I wish there were some way we could erase his name from UK’s coaching ledger. Goodbye and good riddance.

According to the Memphis paper - the guy who helped the student athlete cheat on his test - is assisting in the investigation.

Worth noting that Rose was heavily recruited by both Indiana and Illinois - so, when did he qualify at Memphis?
May 28th, 2009 at 9:18 am
66) Cant remember exactly when, but the SAT added a written section a few years back. Seems like it wont be too tough to figure it out.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:20 am
I’d like to see BCG take the UKAA for everything it’s got. Then that might put some more attention on Barnfart’s decision to hire him in the first place. Somehow I don’t see that BCG acted any differently in Texas than he did here. BCG is BCG take it or leave it. Or in this case fire him. Of course he had to be hired first. Thanks MB.
Bitching about BCG is like buying a Chihuahua and then complaining that it’s too small and annoying. Hell, you should have known that when you bought it. So who’s fault is that? Barnhart’s gotten off really easy about the BCG hire in my opinion.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:21 am
54. Didn’t I read that a handwriting expert already confirmed it was Rose who wrote on the test? Also, I believe Rose has denied any wrongdoing in a letter…
May 28th, 2009 at 9:21 am
Pat Forde has an e-mail address on ESPN under analysis section. I suggest you all do the same thing I did and e-mail about his interview and the Karen Sypher piece he didn’t release. Keep it tasteful we don’t want him to have anymore reason to make up $hit about us. Besides we will get our point across much better that way.

The only thing to take from this is additional buzz surrounding Calipari, in terms of being “shady” in the eyes of our rivals. He still has 0 violations to his name, likely will still have 0 after all is said and done here, but perception is reality. Heads high, fellow Cats fans, because we’ll be taking grenades over this … but in the end, we’ll win the war. Jealousy will always persist, resulting in unfounded rumors, gossip, and flat-out untruths spoken by those who hate us, but is that anything we’re not used to already?
Shame on you, Derrick Rose.

Don’t think BCG doesn’ know this —-
LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 1, 2008) − The University of Kentucky Athletic Association (UKAA) Board of Directors today unanimously approved an operating budget for the 2008-09 fiscal year.
The budget was set at $67.035 million.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:46 am
i’m in a glass case of emotion!
May 28th, 2009 at 9:47 am
82 Forde? I drive a Chevrolet. What I’m saying is, If you think he “destroyed” kids lives in Lexington, then he was doing the same thing in Texas. BCG is who he is. Mitch should have known that, but he hired him anyway.
May 28th, 2009 at 9:50 am
I will give my two cents:
1) Calipari self reported the CAMBY incident. He tried to do the right thing. If he doesn’t report, then it may not come out, or if it did and he knew, he would have been in trouble.
2) Memphis knew of these infractions in January, and they still fought to keep Cal. UK says they knew, and I hope they did, but we have to believe they felt comfortable with the hire.
3) Calipari does not have any infractions on his resume. Yes, it could be that both of his FINAL FOURS are lost to violations, but he himself was not considered the problem by the NCAA.
4) Black Cloud - Public Relations will take a hit for some time on this. Rivals will use this against us in recruiting. Certain Media will take shots at us.
Am I concerned? As a fan and season ticket holder, I am concerned. I do not want major infractions or violations to hit our program like it did under SUTTON. I do not want to endure another season like 1989. But I hope my fears are just that. I hope that does not happen any time soon. I hope Cal keeps close watch on the program and keeps things above board. Will the sunrise in the morning? It always does! Go Big Blue!

May 28th, 2009 at 10:04 am
I’m not saying that Calipari has anything to do with any of the stuff that happened, but isn’t it a little curious that when the NCAA came looking around at UMass he left town and now the NCAA comes sniffing around at Memphis and he hightails it out of town again? Seems curious at the least.
May 28th, 2009 at 10:07 am
Hannah Storm did a telephone interview with a guy from the Memphis Blog, and of course he put the spin on the ball, stating that although it was appararnt no “Formal” wrong doing is being charged on Cal, this is twice under his watch that “Serious” violations have occurred. And of course Dippy Ass Storm, who knows about as much about sports as my Beagle, played right along. My wife is cleaning the oatmeal off the big screen as we speak. And for the Clyde thing, If it goes to trial, I will be there. I can’t wait to see his stupid as Rocking back and forth on the stand like freaking Rainman. “Mr Gillispie, would you tell the court why you refused to sign the formal contract with the Universtiy? Well Judge, I think that’s a really bad question, and I have to question the toughness of this court on a daily basis.”
May 28th, 2009 at 10:12 am
What are the odds Pat Forde, Pitino, and BCG are all working together in a effort to shift focus and taint public perception?
May 28th, 2009 at 10:14 am
88. I agree somewhat with you about BCG hiring. It turned out to be a really bad hire. Looking back at that time it had to be rushed. We had waited for Billy D. to finish out the year. I always wonder if Billy didn’t lead Mitch on a little. It helps Florida and I’m sure Rick would love to screw with us since we’re their big in State rival. You’re Mitch you think you have your man boom he backs out. How many coaches do you think wanted to follow in Tubby’s shoes. How many coach’s would want the negative pub put out by the major networks, for taking the UK job. UK was in a bind and Billy I guess presented the best alternative. Most of us learn through our mistakes and then some never do. I think he got it right this time.

89- I just noticed your post and thought I would add a couple more cents. I think it is funny how history changes to suit somebody’s argument/belief/desire. Calipari didn’t self report anything in the Camby situation. Camby idiotically admitted he had taken cash and gifts in a newspaper interview after the season ended.

The UKAA actually did BCG a favor by not saying the “causes”. He better be thankful. And I got a twitter about this whole SAT-Memphis issue but now im more comfortable hearing that it had nothing todo with Calipari.

89. Good point but I think that Cal is above that and will realize that he won’t bring any trouble to the BBN.

Just received a Tweet from Cal stating he would classify BCG as a “taker” and not a “giver?”

Let’s all of the BBN send an email to Pat “I love Rick Pitino” Forde and let him know that he can kiss all of BBN ASSES>>>>>>>>>>>

I really hope there is nothing to this. I have been so excited about Cal coming to UK. I am a die hard UK fan and hope that UK will continue to
run a clean program no matter what. When you have the prestige that UK has, you don’t have cheat to recruit or win. Let’s keep it clean and go
clean house all the way to the NC. Go Coach Cal, Go Big Blue!!!!!!

100- That’s when they reported it.
The issue isn’t that Cal does anything wrong in these situations, it’s that he brings in the best players. It just stands to reason you’ll have issues with some of them since they’re in and out and looking for the paycheck. I still would be completely shocked if the NCAA was able to prove that Rose cheated on the SAT, are we sure it’s the SAT? ACT would be even harder to prove, without the essay portion.

Pat Forde is an imbecile…point blank…how he is still employed by ESPN is beyond me…What news does he bring to the table?? The only news he ever “reports” if thats what you call it, is news that is negative for the University of Kentucky. He vanishes when L-ville gets thier asses kick by Mich State, horrendous football team, and Rick Shitino screwing around with leather face. But look out, Cal’s in the news again so he’s just begging to turn it into a negative. Seriously, I would love to BEAT his ass more than BCG at this point. What a prick

-98 100%…with Forde and his huge schnoz

104. Pat Forde is a Louisville fan. We can send him email after email it won’t chage his anything. It will just fuel the fire. Just let him spew his hatred for UK and it’s fans. Let him keep digging his own hole. People will see it is just hatred on his part. He also sounds like someone who’s afraid his world is going down the drain. As for kissing something that’s a part of me. I say not me I’m afraid he might take me up on the offer. After all he’s just another butt hole himself.
