College Sports Falling Apart... Who Do We Blame? Lebron, Of Course



Welcome to another ripping on Lebron day. I know they are my favorite too. We have been hearing nonstop about this whole Miami fiasco. To be honest I couldn't care less, did anyone really think this wasn't going on at the U? Seriously, but anyways there is always someone to blame, and I blame Lebron James.



"Back in July, LeBron James' Nike brand announced a pretty sweet deal. He'd be expanding on his relationship with Ohio State to include Kentucky and Miami (CBS Sports.



James has been sponsoring the Buckeyes since 2007. He makes "The Decision," and in the following year the program goes through its worst NCAA violations scandal and their legendary head coach resigns.



James moves to the Heat and the following year the University of Miami suffers arguably the worst reveal of recruiting violations in the history of college sports (CBS Sports)."



The curse of Lebron everyone. Ohio State has already gone down in flames, Miami is on it's way, and let's all be honest with ourselves it's just a matter of time before Kentucky gets strung up by it's boots, it's kind of Calipari's M.O. at this point.



So, when you're sitting back thinking about all the terrible things happening to college sports just remember it's all Lebron's fault. I am just trying to tie him into the failing economy and everything will make sense.

Assistant Coach Rajon Rondo



Kentucky coach John Calipari tweeted this on Thursday night:

“John Wall (@jimmywa11), Rajon Rondo (@rajonrondo) & Eric Bledsoe (@ebled24) all plan to enroll in the fall if the lockout continues. Kaboom!”

Oh that Calipari did it again. Since I think there will be a lock out, it would be cool if all 3 of them were assistant coaches of Kentucky. Such a good recruiting ploy too. Calipari can just send a pro out on recruiting trips and get whichever high school kid he wants to fall right into his lap.

This is why John Calipari is the man. He thinks outside of the box. Great move Coach Cal.

Kentucky Extends Coach Cal


Kentucky will announce a two-year contract extension for men's basketball coach John Calipari Monday morning, giving him eight more years with the Wildcats, multiple sources told ESPN.com Sunday night.

Calipari's previous contract was $31.65 million for eight years. The new deal is expected to have a financial increase over his original contract.ESPN

Good, Coach Cal is one of the best coaches in college basketball if not the best. He is constantly having to juggle the players that come in and go every year. Last year he lost Brandon Knight, Josh Harrelson and DeAndre Liggins. But it's no big deal as he has Terrence Jones and Darius Miller return back to Lexington along with the best recruiting class in the country headlined by Anthony Davis, Michael Gilchrist and Marquis Teague.

Cal gets a lot of shit because of the revolving door policy he has and because everywhere he goes, trouble follows. However, in his defense he has never been found guilty of any issues that have happened.
