It took the feds a long time to actually get something to stick to John Gotti. Like all big time gangsters, the guy knew the law and knew how to dodge the big rap. But, eventually, a life of breaking the law caught up with him and he ended up in prison.
Are we seeing the same thing at Kentucky as things seem to be closing in on Teflon John Calipari?
Truthfully, I doubt it...Calipari is smart-enough to clean his dirty laundry through channels of people who don't seem to even know whom they're working for. But, the story surrounding Eric Bledsoe has more layers than an onion and its stench is much stronger.
This one's got a bit of everything- academic impropriety, money exchanging hands, people hiding things so investigators can't get information and tons of denials and important parts giving the silent treatment...it's a bushel basket of rules, if not laws, being broken by quite a few people...and the whole mess leads back to the guy who does no wrong, Kentucky's current coach.
Perhaps this story will be what sends Cal to the NBA once again as he and Bron Bron finally make their love for eachother public.

Such a snake....
It'll play out exactly like most of us predicted the day he took the job: Kentucky will get probation, some wins will be taken away, Calipari will move on, get no penalties, and deny everything, except we'll all know he's the same cheating SOB he's always been.
Of course, it'll be different when he gets to the NBA and figures out that you can't get an advantage by paying your players extra.
No matter, there will be plenty of NCAA school willing to take a few years probation for a chance at a title that you know the NCAA won't vacate. (See Larry Brown, Kansas, 1988, another ritual cheater.)
GOTO THE NBA CAL! We don't want you in college ball!
This just in from GBI:
Russell Bellomy (6'3", 180, dual-threat QB from James Martin High School in Arlington, Texas) committed to the Boilermakers over a double-digit list of offers.
"From that visit (on), I've had that mentality of, 'Purdue's right for me.' ... It's always been my favorite and it was time (to commit). It feels great to be a Boilermaker."
Among those who offered Bellomy during his short-lived recruitment were Michigan State, Minnesota, South Florida, Colorado and Boise State.

I now return you to your UConjob Basketball, Indy 500, Milka has a nice rack" posts.
You're welcome.
Thank you Dozer for some boilermaker news.
Dowd,
Don't you know he had nothing to do with Derrick Rose's fake SAT score or Eric Bledsoe's magical academic turnaround? He's just the lucky benefactor of all these events.
I heard that they are sending Chris Kramer in to single handedly stop the Oil leak in the gulf.
