College sports chicanery

Texas Tech fired Pat Knight. Why does Texas Tech basketball suck? Knight recommended Billy Gillispie. Is Lubbock dry?

****
The NCAA ruled Perry Jones ineligible. Baylor was then beat by Oklahoma in the Big XII tournament. Baylor's pissed at the timing. Remember: It is well noted that Baylor basketball is diiirrrrrrttttttyyyyyy.

****
Texas A&M, Oklahoma and SMU were named three of the most corrupt colleges in the nation.

****
SMU basketball put itself on probation for two years and imposed recruiting restrictions for texting parents of recruits. More than 100, or so they say. It's one thing to cheat. It's another to cheat and be awful. The Mustangs finished 17-14 this year. In Matt Doherty's tenure, they're 64-89 and 25-53 in conference.
