Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1449574, member: 40"] This isn't going to win me any popularity contests on this board, but I don't think that Cal is cheating anymore at UK. I think he blatantly cheated at both UMass and Memphis, putting mechanisms in place for rules to be flagrantly circumvented by boosters while he stayed "ignorant" at an arms length, to give him an out with plausible deniability. And I think he started out cheating at UK, as well [Davis, Bledsoe, etc.]. But once the machine got rolling, they didn't have to cheat to land the top talent. It became a momentum in and of itself. Do I think he's a scumbag and in general bad for the game of college basketball? Sure. ZERO doubt in my mind whatsoever that he blatantly cheated at his previous coaching stops, and at UK initially. But I don't believe that he's actively cheating now -- and certainly not to the extent he has at other places, because he doesn't have to right now. [/QUOTE]
