The Truth About The NCAA Memphis Probe

Under ordinary circumstances, the issues involving the basketball team would be disposed of fairly simply. The accusation that a player, reportedly star point guard Derrick Rose, did not take his own SAT is a huge deal. There's not much worse than academic fraud. But this customarily would not constitute a major violation against the program because no Memphis staff member is alleged to have facilitated it or known about it. STORY

Next Bailout - Newspapers? Sure Makes Political Sense

Below is a good read from Eric Rhoades - publisher of the trade magazine and website - RADIO INK . I have been doing some work for Radio INK recently.
Newspapers are dying because they have become irrelevant to a generation who no longer wants to wait for their news when they can get it by twitter within seconds of it happening. Warren Buffet recently said that if someone were to suggest the invention of newspapers today people would laugh at the business model. Write the news, cut down millions or trees for paper, build massive printing plants to print it overnight, have a distribution model which pays people fold and bag hundreds of papers, and burn thousands of gallons of gas to go house to house and then to throw it out of their car window at every house so that people could walk out into the cold or rain in order to read news that was 12-24 hours old. Or they could just turn on their full page Kindle DX reader, launched today, or look on their iphone or laptop and use their Google reader to have customized news to their liking about any subject in the world.

Obama Administration Kills Afghanistan Civilians

If this were the Bush administration we would be seeing pictures of the victims all over the news. Where's the outrage? You won't see it from today's press that's for sure. Up to 100 civilians, including women and children, are reported to have been killed in Afghanistan in potentially the single deadliest US airstrike since 2001 STORY

Something Big Is Developing At UK!

This is an incredible roster! And we still may sign John Wall, the best point guard in the country. This recruiting class is already being labeled as the top class in the country and if we land Wall - it will be the best class in NCAA history. Next season will be a lot of fun. Nice work Coach Calipari! In the six weeks he's been here he has signed Cousins, Bledsoe, Dodson and convinced Hood and Orton to stay committed after Gillispie hit the dusty trail. Go Cats!
