College Hoops Thread '09-'10

Two items of marginal interest:

Newly-hired Hofstra coach Tim Welsh has resigned before his first practice, much less his first game. He was arrested last Friday in Levittown for DWI (The actual charge was "aggravated driving while intoxicated", which sounds like a scene from The Blues Brothers.), and though he's pleaded innocent he has quit a month after he signed a 5-year, $3 million deal.

And speaking of

, the Lexington Herald-Leader has obtained the GPAs from 9 of the 12 SEC basketball programs, and of those 9 the University of Kentucky brings up the rear with an abysmal 2.025. Not only was this the lowest of the 9 reporting, but it was also the lowest of all the 20 athletic teams at UK. If this info surprises you, you know neither John Calipari nor Kentucky basketball.

Well, I guess you can ask Antoine Walker that, seeing as how little basic math and business economics he learned at Kentucky. After all, he managed to p!$$ away $100 million, and that ain't easy.

And if that ain't enough of a lesson for you, and if you think I pick on Kentucky all too much, google the story that just came out about Kenny Anderson. He only p!$$ed away about $60 million in NBA money, but will finally graduate soon . . . though not from Georgia Tech.

Hey, had he gone to Carolina, like he was supposed to do before Bobby Cremins lured him to Atlanta, he'd have had a degree a looooooong time ago.
