I think you mean John Calipari and not Rick Pitino, but point taken. I'm not losing any sleep over BCS coaches expending resources to obtain the services of these players. The NCAA made the bed thinking it would benefit the large schools, let them sleep in it.
Nothing changes until someone can prove that BCS schools are suffering in the tournament because of this.

: Amid all of the pre-season hype of a usually
: wrong prediction "rag," is an
: article concerning the credibility crisis
: that is being faced by college MBB. In
: short, the article begs the NCAA to make an
: example of at least one major program that
: has been known to cheat in recruiting. USC,
: and AJ Mayo are lead examples of what is
: wrong in college basketball. Questions are
: also raised about Rick Pitino who has moved
: his sordid show to Kentucky, while leaving a
: second school (Memphis) with egg on its
: face.
:
: One of the most cogent points is made by
: Seth Greenberg in his discussion of the
: "one and done" type players that
: are consuming way too many resources of head
: coaches and those who seek a fleeting shot
: at the big bucks in the NCAAT. The NBA, in
: an attempt to help colleges, made it even
: worse. By requiring draftees (except
: foreign players) to have at least one year
: of college, they created a situation where
: families, agents and assorted "hangers
: on" shop for the best deal for the high
: quality player. Its usually understood that
: it is a one year deal before the agent gets
: signed for real and the kid declares for the
: draft. Like baseball, such unique players
: should be drafted out of high school without

: I highly recommend reading this article.
: don't buy the mag, but sit down at
: Starbuck's inside a Barnes and Noble and
