When you sell the NBA FAST TRACK to the elite talent, you will always be in the mix. UK even reaching the final four was one of the worst things to happen to the college game this year.

And now that they are in the championship game, and even more so if they should win it Monday night, it will be the worst thing for the college game period.

You cannot tell me that offering up your program the way UK has for the being a middle man for the NBA on the OAD’s does not have some corruption behind it, if not now, it will soon enough

But we know already their have been questionable actions at UK already with one recruit in that of Bledsoe and Calipari’s involvement getting another recruit to resend his announcement to one program. It may not be exactly against the NCAA rules, but it sure borders on the unethical.

YOU NAILED IT! I agree on most every point you made here. Thankfully, the one and done system doesn't guarantee them anything in consecutive years. Last year, Calipari's team couldn't get out of their own way with all their playground divas. Hell, they couldn't even win one game in the NIT tournament (see: Robert Morris crushed them).

They are an NBA farm team, plain and simple, as you said. If anyone doubts it, have them look up William Sydney "Wes" Wesley (aka World Wide Wes). He's an NBA agent who always sits right behind the UK bench and helps them recruit these high profile high school kids. Nothing shady to see here, right? If anyone is a longtime UK fan, they can remember when Senior Day was a HUGE deal at UK, celebrating the loyalty a kid gave that school for four years of service. Now it's just a bus stop for six months tops before heading to the National Thug Association.

The Gators are to blame......Florida was leading UK by 15 late in the SEC Title Game, and they let them come back and almost win it...That’s where they gained the confidence that has propelled them in the tournament....If Florida wins that game going away, UK probably doesn’t even make it to the Sweet Sixteen.
