20921 <p>Thursday the NCAA stripped&nbsp;<strong>Memphis</strong>&nbsp;of 38 wins. By email, fax and news conference. 38 wins gone. A 2008 trip to the Final Four...POOF! Like it never happened. It's the second time the school has had a Final Four appearance vacated because of NCAA violations. The first time was in 1985. It's allso the second time&nbsp;for&nbsp;former Tigers head coach&nbsp;now current&nbsp;<strong>Kentucky</strong> coach&nbsp;<strong>John Calipari. </strong>The same thing happened at <strong>UMass </strong>on his watch. <em>ESPN </em>analyst <strong>Doug Gottlieb</strong> on Thursday called the Memphis/Calipari pairing a match made in heaven. More like probation hell. But yet Calipari is free of sin, at least in the eyes of the NCAA. How is he able to still coach without punishment? Heck, why not let <strong>Kelvin Sampson </strong>still coach? Maybe <strong>Jerry Tarkanian </strong>should start updating that resume. The NCAA calls it's players "student-athletes". Seems the biggest player right now is Calipari. And he just played the NCAA. Again.</p> <hr /> <p><strong>IAAF Officials Off-Track?</strong></p> <p>The gender questions surrounding South African track star <strong>Caster Semenya </strong>is the strangest story of 2009. Man? Woman? Complicated tests? Why? Can't they just <em>look</em> and figure it out? It boggles the mind.&nbsp;Here's an interesting story on how this&nbsp;is all&nbsp;playing in her home of South Africa.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thetimes.co.za/News/Article.aspx?id=1052923">http://www.thetimes.co.za/News/Article.aspx?id=1052923</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p> <hr /> </p> <p><strong>It's In The Game</strong></p> <p>I got a few challenges last week to play <em>Madden10 </em>online. Send me your gamertags through this page here on Sportscenter.com or you can follow me on twitter:&nbsp; @roflosc. I've found personally, that XBOX 360 is the best for online play. So sorry PS3 users. Now, before you scream an anti-PS3 bias..I also have a PS3 but don't have great luck playing online. So hit me up..and let's play.</p> true 2009-08-21T02:29:16Z 92121 0 Teflon John, Track and Field's Strangest Story, and Madden10 Challenges 2009-08-21T02:29:16Z
