Butler Basketball under Investigation by NCAA for cheating?

INDIANAPOLIS--Butler's run in the NCAA Men's Basketball National
Championship Game may be tarnished after reports surfaced today that all 13 players
on the roster are being given good educations in an effort to help them
find good jobs after they leave the school. "It's important to remember that
right now these are only allegations -- allegations that we are looking
into," said NCAA president James Isch.

"But, obviously, if true, this would be very disappointing. The NCAA has
certain expectations and standards. It's not fair for players at one school
to be given good educations while athletes at other member schools receive
basic, remedial instruction that is worth essentially nothing." According
to documents seized from the school's registrar's office, Butler players
have received an education worth $38,616 per year totaling more than $150,000
over a four-year career.

Compare that to player at a school like Kentucky , where tuition is set at
$4,051 -- but with an actual value far below that. “We don't want to say
too much until these reports are confirmed," said Kentucky head basketball
coach John Calipari. "But we're talking about almost $140,000 difference in
education per player -- and that's even if my players stayed four years or
graduated, which many of them do not. Then these Butler players are
reportedly stepping into good jobs after graduation while my kids, if they don't
make the NBA, have absolutely no job prospects or life skills. It's far
from a balanced playing field. They are buying the best players by giving them
a high-priced education."

In addition to the allegations that they were given an expensive
education, many Butler players have been spotted around campus holding books,
studying and engaging in interesting conversations. Others have been seen with
people who are known to not be tutors. Butler point guard and Kentucky
native Ronald Nored, who is reportedly a secondary education major, denied
allegations that the Bulldog program is cheating.

"The discourse on this matter is fatuous and inane," he said, implicating the program further.

What do you think of these allegations? rofllol

Butler did play more like students than athletes last night, 19% shooting percentage? All time low for a Finals team.
Hopefully they are back in the Final Four next year.
