Kentucky was put on probation in the early 1950's due to a point shaving scandal that hit a number of schools. The entire 1952-53 season was cancelled. The next year, Kentucky went undefeated during the regular season, however, then-coach Adolph Rupp chose not compete in post-season competition because some of his starting players were prohibited from playing due to being in graduate school (in a bizarre ruling by the NCAA which actually dissuaded players from graduating on-time).
Kentucky again was put on probation in the late 1980's. Chief among the violations cited were paying money to Chris Mills (a Los Angeles prep phenom now playing with the New York Knicks) and the cheating of Eric Manuel on his ACT test

1961: Cincinnati beats Ohio State in the National Championship game
1962: The Bearcats repeats as National Champions beating Ohio State again.
Both times after Oscar Robertson graduated

In a 1955 article in Sports Illustrated, Hayes admitted making small personal loans to financially needy players.[10] The article resulted in a furor over possible violations of NCAA rules, and the faculty council, followed by the Big Ten and NCAA, conducted lengthy investigations. Big Ten Commissioner Kenneth "Tug" Wilson found Hayes and the program guilty of violations and placed it on a year's probation in 1956.
In December 2010 it was announced that five student-athletes on the Ohio State University football team will be suspended from the first five games of the 2011 season for NCAA violations. The punishments stem from an incident in which at least some of the Buckeye players received tattoos for their autographs, according to news reports. Other violations committed by the players included the selling of several items given to them by the University, such as championship rings.[22]
On January 4, 2011, Ohio State completed its season with a 31-26 win over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl. The Sugar Bowl win would have marked Ohio State's first bowl victory over a Southeastern Conference opponent in ten attempts, but the win was later vacated due to NCAA violations.[23] Ohio State ended up with an 0-1 record for the 2010 season after vacating wins for NCAA violations.
On March 8, 2011 Jim Tressel was suspended for 2 games, and fined $250,000 for not informing the university and the NCAA that he had information that 5 of his players received improper benefits from a tattoo shop in downtown Columbus. Among those 5 players, including Mike Adams, Dan Herron, DeVier Posey, Solomon Thomas, Jordan Whiting, was quarterback Terrelle Pryor. The 5 players are suspended for the first 5 games of the 2011 season. Coach Tressel's suspension was also later increased to 5 games by the University. The NCAA filed a letter of allegations in late April, 2011 with Ohio State University alleging that Tressel lied to the NCAA in December, 2010 when he claimed to have no knowledge of the players activities with the tattoo shop. Furthermore, he is alleged to have knowingly used ineligible players during the 2010 season. On May 30, 2011 Jim Tressel resigned as head coach.[24]
A 6 June 2011 story in Sports Illustrated reported that at least 28 players, including Rob Rose, T. J. Downing, Louis Irizarry, Chris Vance, C. J. Barnett, Dorien Bell, Jamaal Berry, Bo DeLande, Zach Domicone, Storm Klein, Etienne Sabino, John Simon, Nathan Williams, Jermale Hines, Devon Torrence, Donald Washington, Thaddeus Gibson, Jermil Martin, Lamaar Thomas, and Doug Worthington traded team memorabilia or used equipment for tattoos or other merchandise or services between 2002 and 2010. The report alleged that Tressel had violated NCAA bylaw 10.1 - unethical conduct, three times by not acting when told of the tattoo improprieties, by signing a statement saying he knew of no violations, and for withholding information on what was going on from university officials.[24]

Did not think Kentucky fans could handle seeing the Eddie thing.
I will not stoop to the level of name calling on a message board.

^ NCF, I don't think you have seen anything posted by anyone who can't handle your posts. I yhink what you have seen is rebuttal challenging that wrongs more egregious and closer to death penalty have happened at other schools, such as OSU

The late 80's was the Eddie Sutton probation.

Chris Mills was the Eddie Sutton probation, and I think most UK fans are fine with what went on because it was the low that started the resurrection of UK Basketball.
I think if you look at the modern era you will find that UK's Administration has made it clear that any violation will not be tolerated. That doesn't keep it from happening (Hal Mummy), but it does show that the University of Kentucky has high standards.
However, the same can't be said of OSU for giving Jim Tressel the severe penalty(emphasis added for sarcastic effect) of a $250,000 fine and a 2-Game suspension for failing to report the violations. In fact, they did everything possible to avoid the fact that he lied about the matter, and eventually the NCAA dealt with it. Had they not the classes administration at THE Ohio State would have just turned a blind eye. Perhaps they would have opened a Pawn Shop / Tattoo Parlor in the student center.

I was one who thought the Buckeyes got off easyt with that crap they pulled and I am one of the few who was glad they got caught. They, those in charge at OSU you knew what they were getting with coach Vest, so no way should they have been shocked that this happened on his watch.

Ohio State sucks ass.

despite not playing in the 1954 tournament, Kentucky was awarded with the Helms National Championship. Count it or not, they also won it in 1933.
