There's no doubt that the NCAA will look into everything that Calipari does, however Calipari is smart enough to know what he can and can't do (get away with). And it's hard to compare him to Pete Carroll, because you can't compare a football coach who has 80 players to a basketball coach who has 13 and it's a lot easier to keep tabs on.
Exactly my point. If Cal can't keep an eye on 13 players...well....
As for my comparison..its all relative no matter what numbers your dealing with.
When you open your program up, as Cal and Carrol do...your asking for trouble. Jim O'Brien did the same at OSU when dealing with the international players ...agents hung around, etc, etc...and it caught up with him as well. Which was really nausiating as we weren't even dealing with big time players! lol IMO, in this day and age...you have to run a very tight ship ...especially when your dealing with blue chip recruits. If you don't...well..I think its easy to figure out what may happen.
Be interesting to see if there is anything legit with this situation. We already know one is probably Wall. Who was already involved with an agent prior to coming to UK....thus his early season suspension.
