You have to give the guy credit for having the guts to speak his mind.
There are a lot of inequities in college sports, and what the NCAA considers cheating is sometimes stupid. If I wanted to buy a kid on our team a hamburger, I couldn't do it because the school could be penalized. If you're paying kids to come to your school, that's one thing, but if you're helping a kid in need from time to time, that's different. It will be interesting to see if he gets sanctioned in some way for these comments.

"Guts" is not the word I would have used.

Unfortunately, "big time" college athletics is now nothing more than a business. The system allows colleges to "use" kids for a year to make millions of dollars for their schools. They are basically serving a one-year apprenticeship on their way to the NBA. Even kids who stay 2-3 years are not in college to get an education. It's just a step they have to take to get to the NBA. At the big schools the whole "student-athlete" thing is a total farce. Really don't know what the answer is, but obviously the Calipari's of the world certainly don't want anyone (i.e. NCAA) policing what they do.
