This is for all my NCAA people… Now we all know about the hoopla over Chicago Bulls, Derrick Rose. If you don’t know, let me catch you up real quick. Someone waited till Derrick Rose made it big to turn around and let his little secret out… that another student took his SAT exam for him, which we all know is a huge violation. Rose played for the Memphis Tiger who went 38-2, breaking a NCAA record during the 2007-2008 season, also advancing to the Final Four. Rose stated “I know I didn’t do anything wrong.” Memphis became aware of the violation in January 2009, a meeting wasn’t held with the NCAA till June. The Memphis Tigers most likely will be forced to forfeit their NCAA record breaking season. The NCAA held a news conference on Thursday. Coach Josh Pastner gave no comments. This is not the first time that Memphis has had to forfeit a season and it is not former coach john Calipari first time vacated a final four season either. So who is busted, the school, the coach or Rose? Well Rose is sitting pretty with his millions, I dont see the Bulls dumping him. Coach is in Kentucky right now, will the school have to pay the $bucks$ back??? I dont know about that. Rose was the #1 overall draft pick in 2008. Rose was second among rookies with an average of scoring 16.8 points a game. Rose helped the Chicago Bulls make it to 2009 playoffs, almost but not quite beating the Boston Celtics.
