^ NCAA money and reputation, like always. i dont know why, they should have, but you know as well as I do that UK had no wiggle room out of their problems. It was as blatant as SMU football, only difference was UK wasn't caught twice in 3 years.

my guess is this: UCLA and Duke said they did something wrong, Kentucky was caught before they could say anything.

......Or...they are both the more media-loved, babied programs. If Duke wasn't relevant any more (I see them having a very hard time after Coach K leaves), the national college basketball media would not know what to do.

Same goes for UNC and their numerous academic scandals that have been made known and currently are being "investigated" :please:. What a joke.

The Corey Maggette and Elton Brand stuff with Duke is a great example. Enes Kanter's college basketball ban, the Ohio State football selling of championship merchandise, the suspension put on Texas point guard Myck Kabongo for this season (23 games for a simple plane ticket and workout), Shabazz Muhammad's slap-on-the-wrist punishment for worse violations than Kabongo, and the Penn State football junk from last year are all examples that come to mind when you think about the pathetic inconsistency of the NCAA.

- Enes Kanter stays committed to the University of Washington, that ban is never even thought of (NCAA president Mark Emmert was former Washington Pres.).

- The Ohio State deal is another story, but let's just say the NCAA had no business being involved. Same goes for the Penn State allegations. That sick incident had nothing to do with sports and the federal court was handling it just fine. The NCAA had absolutely ZERO business being involved.

- If Myck Kabongo plays for a media darling (Duke, UNC, UCLA, etc.), little to nothing happens.

- Shabazz Muhammad, playing for UCLA, of course is playing college basketball with no worries. If he committed to Kentucky, he would have received the "Enes Kanter ban" and everyone knows it. Not like it's a big secret. If the NCAA could have proven anything on Nerlens Noel, we wouldn't have saw him this season.

What an incredibly pathetic group of league officials college sports has to put up with.
