NCAA ruling

I'll start with the good news. Elliot Williams has been cleared to play. Sure, it was never in doubt, but, with N'Galoro out of the picture, we need all the assurance we can get about next seasons roster.

Then there is the bad news. Our 07-08 Final Four season has been vacated. I found this extremely dissappointing as that season meant a lot to me. Also, I was excited to see if we could get the NCAA's all time longest in-conference winnging streak.

On the good side, however, Calipari will not be considered to be major contributor for that record. He is the only coach to have two Final Four appearances vacated at two seperate schools. We feel you UMASS. Also, does anyone else find it wierd that he left both schools right before the programs were accused of violations.

In the end, it's not really that bad. We didn't lose any scholarships, we can still have television appearances, and we can still compete to play in the NCAA tournament. Let's just look forward to a new era under Pastner. I doubt any of his wins will ever be vacated.
