The attorney representing Eric Bledsoe’s coach at Parker High School is not optimistic and would be surprised if the report turns out to be positive

TIPTON ALERT

Thanks for the warning

I'm here to serve, j2.

It's typical Tipton. Saving a negative piece to run just before the report is released.

Should the report indicate that Bledsoe was ineligible, let’s hope the NCAA honors the fact that schools are only liable for the transcripts it receives. Having schools plunder into every report for all of its athletes in every sport would be absurd and a waste of time and money.

We’ll see…The Rose situation demonstrated the NCAA’s short-sightedness and ridiculous tendencies to retroactively declare student athletes ineligible.

Another important point is that it appears that only high profile athletes at premier schools in revenue-generating sports like basketball are subject to these investigations. This, too, indicates a bias and renders these pronouncements of questionable ethical standards.

I’m sure the UK haters will have a hate-fest on this issue, but rest assured…The celebration of 2000 victories has passed. Any subsequent celebration of 2000 wins would be met with little fanfare.

What's the best site/twitter account to follow to get the up-to-the-minute info on the report? Is there a live presser or is there someone to follow on Twitter to get info?
