I really don't know how the NCAA is going to be able to ignore this for much longer. It's hard to believe but Kentucky may no longer be the most pathetic win at all costs basketball school in the country. Never thought I'd see the day.

I think it's a given about UK. That's been known for decades. Most have already suspected UNC was dirty for years. Didn't realize they were that dumb though.

McCants throws the UNC program under the bus. This will probably cost them (and Roy) that championship

Actually, the most intriguing part of his potential book would be the behind the scenes account of the DOH exit.

SAY MCCANTS AGAIN!
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

......surprisingly not one word from Booby Knight about this.

LeCramp James is being made fun of by all the other superstar athletes.

Most of the players had stories that playing when its hot is like old times to them.

Boston garden was notoriously hot

james cramped a lot against the pacers too

McCants has always been a questionable character at best.

Of course I love him shitting on UNC but the kid hated his time there and probably didn't care too much for Williams either.

Meanwhile the Sporting News has an article about UK's stellar APR.

my how times have changed.

He will always be "McCan'thaveagood'tude" to me, but given other revelations of academic fraud @ UNC, it is impossible not to believe his compelling story. Even if he embellished 10% of what he just said publicly, this is a major scandal. Given Bubba Cunningham's comments and the mistreatment of whistleblower Mary Willingham however, we should not expect UNC to actually "do" anything with this info investigation-wise.

I'm assuming the championship banner won during McCant's "ineligible season' will be removed from the rafters, right?

Who said he was ineligible? Quite the contrary, he maintained eligibility by taking crip courses.

Now say McCants again! Ssssssay it again!
