The Penn State administration and the NCAA played a good game of "Cover Thine Own Butt". And, the sportscasters, posters, etc. are showing a larger than usual amount of judgmental rage including the need to put college sports in its proper place. After all, these are institutions of higher education and the academic function must come first. And all say "amen".

Now let's get real. Most of you are UK fans. As you like to say, you "bleed blue". Of course, for good effect, you fall in line and complain that college sports are out of control and must be reined in. Everyone is making all the "proper" statements and condemning the "right" people.

But, let me ask you a question since you cry for proper perspective in college endeavors. You all can name all the basketball recruits and significant, if applicable, football recruits at UK. But, how many of you (staunch supporters of the academic function of the college that you all are now) can name any of the Singletary Scholars who will enter UK next month? How many of you ever heard of Singletary Scholars? How many of you ever heard of Dr. Singletary? My guess is the answer is none of you.

You know the coaching staffs for the basketball and football teams. Everyone knows Calipari and Jones. But, how many of you can name the president of the university? My guess is very, very few.

So, condemn all you want. Get real self righteous. But try to be a little honest. You are all in heat waiting for the new school year for the football and basketball seasons. So don't act like you are concerned with the academic purpose and pursuits of the university. None of you "bleed blue" for the College of Arts and Sciences.
