Where is the NCAA's honesty....remember the investigation into Memphis and the possible loss of all their wins because Derrick Rose didn't take his own ACT??
Well, back on June 6th, the NCAA said a ruling would come in 6-8 weeks.
"An NCAA spokeswoman said a ruling is expected between six and eight weeks from now."

Of course, in the meantime, the NCAA sure found time to clobber SEMO again and drive them into the dark ages...but still no ruling on Memphis and that statement was made almost 10 weeks ago now.
Does this surprise anyone, as it has now been almost 5 years since the initial proof was offered that USC was cheating and allowing Reggie Bush to live in luxury...and more than 3 years since the proof was confirmed beyond doubt by the series of YahooSports articles.
Nope...just more proof they will do anything they can before smiting one of their boys!!

Despite all the clamor over the Rick Pitino issue....many coaches have serious legal behavior problems.....DUI's, drugs, bribery, recruiting thugs, and even time spent in jail...
so what about Pitino's behavior was illegal?
I don't think it's admirable, and I do have my very serious doubts about the honesty of the accuser (for example, how can a woman in her 40's know for certain she's PG within less than TWO WEEKS after an encounter. The physiology at that age just isn't that reliable.)
