The courts are in session for the Kentucky Wildcats lately, no? Possibly the three top faces of the Cats in the last bit all dealing with their issues. Hey, at least we have three of the top stories on ESPN!It all started with ya boy Billy Gillispie, fresh off making his weekend rounds, deciding to file suit against the UK Athletics Association. He wants cash, and he wants it now. I'll refer you back to a previous post for this one. Billy, it's a bad idea. Is he really opening up his time at UK for scrutiny?
John Wall has decided to plead guilty to misdemeanor B&E. He will need to do some community service to get everything taken care of in regards to his record. Surely he can stay outta trouble in the next six months.
Coach Cal also has been the subject of some naughty talk tonight. See the post below for details. Everything in question was brought to everyone's attention in January. Here is the quote from Mitch when we hired Calipari:
"Sandy Bell and the compliance folks talked with the NCAA and checked records and facts," Barnhart said April 1 when Calipari was introduced at Kentucky. "David Price, other people at the high level with the NCAA, assured us how much they enjoyed working with John in that process.
"We have all had our critics about how we manage and lead our programs. For seven years I've had my share and I've been through it. Our commitment at the University of Kentucky to compliance and discipline has always been strong, and that will not change. John's commitment to compliance and discipline has always been strong, and that will not change."
Speaking of court, we're gonna dominate them this upcoming basketball season. Welcome to the new era of Kentucky basketball. Moving on......(YAWN).
UK's official statement
Last I saw, Calipari was asked to be at the hearing but was not named in the report....hopefully that's a good thing.
