41. Oh, right. More corrupt than Tark the Shark ...
UK's had it's share of NCAA violations, and I won't defend them on those. We're talking institutional RACISM, since that was the term so easily tossed out there. You had to go all the way back to Rupp to find that. Rupp was no different than the majority of white coaches in the 60s, particularly in the South. It's a history that the South is not proud of, and one that we've worked hard to get past.

For all your "progressive" talk, you have no credibility. You just write off entire swaths of the country. You refuse to recognize the progress that has been made. You're stuck in the 60s. Didn't your candidate complain early on that the boomer generation needed to "get over" the 60s?

Unless and until you can find me something a whole lot more recent than Adolph Rupp, I have nothing to say to you.
