Yep. It could open up a big can of worms at a lot of places.

RE: STR: Hawaii sues former basketball coach Gib Arnold re: NCAA Compliance
I'll never understand why we put our tail between our legs and let cal eff us over on the way out. We should've nailed his arse to a wall and exposed everything about him. Instead, we let him get us on probation, steal the recruits that he landed on u of m's dime, and laugh on the way out as we got stuck with a little boy for our coach. Memphis basketball woulda coulda shoulda history at its finest.

if you exposed him, why wouldn't we be in the same place we are now?

We were smart not to. Cal played the plausible deniability card to a T. They will never get him on anything.

But they would have given the University a death sentence... That was a road we did not want to go down.

We would probably be far behind where we are today if someone had been stupid enough to try that.

Do I remember that Cal left owing us a chunk of money he was supposed to pay back for something?

It was actually the bonus money for going to the Final Four. He didn't technically owe it to us.

The Story
Quote:Calipari and Rose, according to the settlement agreement obtained Thursday by The Commercial Appeal, agreed on May 28, 2010, to pay a total of $100,000 to the three attorneys -- Martin Zummach, Frank L. Watson III and William Burns -- who were representing, in the agreement's words, "certain ticket holders." The amount was to be disbursed "as they agree among themselves."
Calipari, who left Memphis after the 2008-09 season for the University of Kentucky, also agreed to donate his bonus to the U of M scholarship fund. The agreement approximated the value of the bonus at $232,000.

"Exposing" Cal after leaving would have been on about the same brilliance level as the "ticket holders" who went after Cal and Rose for some cash...
