Which means his advisors meant to cheat. Not throwing this on Enes, he's just a kid. But his parents and everyone else around him flat our knew he was intending on breaking a rule. Which means they could not have cared less about the University of Kentucky. For all of us UK fans, shouldn't we be offended that they didn't care that this could have turned into a Reggie Bush situation, where after the fact it has leveled the USC program, it could have cost UK severe punishment as well? Just think if UK would have won a National Championship and then had it stripped away, and the Kanter family knew coming in that it could have hurt the school and it's program, but it appears that had no care of UK, only Enes. That's what's a shame, and I say we don't want those kind of people in our program. The Kanter family and advisors are pariah if this is all true. Is it true, I have no idea, but the NCAA must believe that it is. UK will appeal, but it sounds like the NCAA has a tight case.

This is absurd. From day 1 we knew (or you should have known) that money was involved. It was a know fact that Kanter had been compensated for something. The ruling however depended on whether or not the NCAA thought that the compensation was excessive. As long as Kanter had only received money for his education it would be fine. That is where the 20k came into play, however the NCAA ruled that they couldn't accept that because it was paid directly to the Kanter family. Now the big question IMO was the 13,000 his family received. I would understand if this was why the ruling was made. However other collegiate athletes have been given the opportunity to pay it back, but not in this case. Thus, it doesn't look good on the NCAA allowing special circumstances for some, but not all. I don't believe the Kanter family had any intent on hurting UK. As they believed by the rules their son was eligible.
