Rex Chapman was always unhappy at UK. I don't doubt that a few eyebrows were raised when/if he dated someone of another race. That would be naive to believe that those things never occur. I don't know, however, that I believe officials told Chapman not to date inter racially. Believe it or not, as crazy as we Wildcat fans can be, we usually don't follow the dating/social lives of our players until it gets them in trouble. Sounds like Chapman has sour grapes with someone, especially to wait this long to begin complaining.

Rex Chapman left because Kentucky was about to go on probation and not even be on TV for a year. I remember it well, was at UK myself at that time and in horrible mourning over it! Couldn't blame him for leaving, seemed the sensible thing to do for his career. People seemed to segregate themselves on campus back then, something that bothered me as a student. But I am getting old, this was a long time ago to go after my Alma Mater now. Of course Kentucky is considered one of those evil red states and therefore socially dispicable. One thing for certain on any college campus, you will always find some idiots.
