A look at the two vacated Final Fours

Louisville Courier Journal takes a closer look at both of Calipari's vacated Final Fours.

Included is the following:

UMASS: There are two pieces of information that bolster
Calipari in this case. First, the 1997 NCAA report itself on Marcus
Camby’s transgressions explicitly states the NCAA’s conclusion that
Calipari had no knowledge of the violations. Further, a letter dated
June 8, 2004, from Tom Yeager, chairman of the NCAA infractions
committee at the time of the Camby case, to Calipari, stated explicitly,
in part, "The committee fully recognizes you had nothing to
do with the violations of Marcus Camby during the 1995-96 season. In a
sense, you were an innocent victim."
A portion of that
letter was published by The New York Daily News. I’m not sure how much
more plain it can be. I don’t see how it can be spelled out any more
plainly. When it comes to the Camby case, the NCAA did not find Calipari
at fault.
