The Eric Bledsoe investigation findings should be reported later this week
Article (published 9/3)

The law firm investigating the high school academics of former Kentucky basketball player Eric Bledsoe plans to produce its findings next week, Birmingham Board of Education attorney Afrika Parchman said today.
....
The letter said that the scope of the independent investigation was limited to issues surrounding Bledsoe's course grades at Hayes and Parker, as compared to the final transcript of his grades. "We will not investigate any other issue," Clemon wrote.

Sad because I thought there were other major issues like some payments to his HS coach for visits/recruiting "favors."

The worst part about it will be that Cleveland State will prolly end up with 1-2 years probation and a lost scholly or two. /:)

Initial reports on Bledsoe's eligibility

Bledsoe's four-year transcript shows he made an A in Algebra 3 in night school as a senior by receiving a 90 during each of the two sessions. However, a grade report from those night sessions showed Bledsoe was recorded as making a C average, with a low C recorded in the first session and a low B recorded in the second.
....

Bledsoe's transcript shows that he got his 90 in Algebra 3 during the first semester of his senior year, prior to taking Algebra 2 during the second semester. Bledsoe also received an A in Algebra 2. Before Bledsoe came to Parker, the highest grade he received in high school math was a C, according to the transcript.

Asked whether it is common for students to take Algebra 2 and 3 out of sequence, Martin responded: "It isn't normal for a person to do that or be allowed to do that. Had I looked at his transcript, I wouldn't have allowed him to do that. By the time he got to us, I guess what we had to do ..."

Martin paused before continuing: "Well, I ain't even going there with that. I'm going to my grave with that."

The artist formerly known as the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga is the whipping boy this time. (Or maybe Chattanooga is the whipping boy for Bruce Pearl.)

Wait until you see who gets punished when the ncaa drops the hammer on Calimari. I suspect Cleveland State AND Western Kin-tucky will both have sanctions.

I hope not EKU. Then it might affect faculty morale. (ahem)

Pearl may end up in more trouble then he thought. Apparently at UWM in 2004, he did the same thing. Moron.
