Reading the article on academics, I wonder if this year is any different than previous years. It says the players will be taking midsession courses after their finals. Say they take 2 or 3 of those, it might mean they only have to take 2 during the Spring, which will give them plenty of time to travel for games, and this may well be what Kentucky has been doing to get APR credit for their one-and-dones.

If this is true, you can see what kind of perverse results something like the APR creates.

"Calhoun said he is making preparations for the three Big East games he will be unable to coach due to the NCAA suspension, but was not ready to reveal who will coach and what the roles will be."

More fuel to the idea of whether Calhoun and Blaney will give a game to Ollie. Interesting.
