Think about this tidbit from the article-

[I]"UK arranged an eight-night August trip to the Bahamas that included multiple games against the national teams of the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, and the French pro club, Champagne Chalons-Reims Basket . . . .[/I]
[I]Finances are a major issue when it comes to some of the smaller-country national team programs," said Sanders [ the director of basketball operations for the Dominican Republic national team.] "We don't have the budget to put everyone in a five-star hotel like the Atlantis. We can't afford that food for days at a time. So when Kentucky put together a package, it was a no-brainer for us. Kentucky has set the bar very high."
[/I]
So apparently some COUNTRIES can't afford to foot the travel bill for their national team to play basketball, yet the University of Kentucky's basketball program has the jack to cover it all. Gotta love the budget Paypal Cal has at his disposal. I'm sure there is no monkey business going on over there. ;)
