Eric Bledsoe’s Grades Were Changed, But That’s Cool
The investigation into Eric Bledsoe’s high school transcript showed proof that Bledsoe’s algebra grades were changed multiple times. The New York Times has the details.
Birmingham Schools Superintendent Craig Witherspoon said in a telephone interview that the grade in question would not be changed. He said that although there was no evidence that Bledsoe did the makeup work to justify the grade change, there was no hard evidence that he did not do it.
There was no justification for Bledsoe’s grades to be changed, but there also wasn’t… not… no justification for the grade changes.
That means that it is unlikely that the N.C.A.A. will look into the matter. The grade in question, as reported by The Birmingham News, was a C in an Algebra III class that was bumped up to an A. If Bledsoe’s grade had been changed back and he no longer met minimum standards, it could have put the results of Kentucky’s 2009-10 season in jeopardy.
Got that? Those games we all watched last year did, in fact, take place. Bledsoe was drafted by the Clippers following his single season with Kentucky.

The NCAA, where the argument of ignorance happens.

The absence of evidence does not denote the evidence of absence. There are known knows and there are known unknows! But there are also unknown unknowns!

Don’t worry. That was just year 1 of Calipari. By next summer, there’ll be 3 times the amount of improper crap…and a NCAA banner to take down!
And he’ll be somewhere else.

I just like that the Birmingham school board said the teacher’s reasoning wasn’t “credible”. Fine, fine teachers you have there Birmingham.

John Calipari could murder Obama during the State of the Union and people would be like “meh, I don’t see any evidence that he did it”

Anyone see the article this week that had Cal quoting that Kanter would definitely be eligible for UK all year. He was blaming the Turkish Pro team for having “ulterior motives”. That’s rich, Cal. Just rich.

Old news, someone took Derrick Rose’s SAT test to get him into Memphis, too. … It appears greasy Calipari has a knack for being a great recruiter.

It isn’t hard to figure out Mr. .Witherspoon accepted a (perfectly legal, though obviously against NCAA rules but they were breaking NCAA rules to begin with) consulting fee from the mighty coffers other schools would call a vault but Kentucky calls petty cash.
