Big Blue Calipari

I would Photoshop him blue, but I have no idea about that stuff.
Anyways I just can't shake John Calipari moving to Kentucky, much like I have trouble shaking Memphis choking (yes, choking) away the Championship Game last year. Mario Chalmers' 3 to force OT (and then the inevitable collapse) was a dagger that took a while to overcome. I thought I was over that, and now!
Calipari's move has instantly decimated Memphis' program (and the city), in which it will take years to recover. I don't blame any of the "players" in this mess. Calipari was a big fish in a small pond. In the current climate he was the perfect salesman for the job. He was the program. Memphis went all-in with the coach. They needed to. And then they lost, literally and figuratively.
The root of the problem is the BCS (and Conference-USA). C-USA was once the much under-rated Basketball Conference before Louisville, Cincinnati and Marquette bolted to the BCS and left Memphis to rule the roost. And they squeezed everything out of it. They were the little engine that could. They were in a unique position.
In the end, all the cotton money from the South wasn't enough keep the coach and won't be enough to woo another big name coach. Memphis went from a major program to a mid-major in the blink of an eye.
On a side note, I don't know what's going on in Memphis. Local media report they spoke to Tim Floyd. National media has no mention of it. National media report Memphis approached Bruce Pearl, but we hear they did not speak. Memphis hierarchy seems to be confused, or punch drunk.
People outside Memphis don't give fuck, and that's what's wrong. I'm not telling everybody to care about the program. It's just the rich raping the poor. Nobody blinks an eye. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
It's simple, America heart is flawed.
