[Jason Svoboda]

Memphis will be forced to vacate its NCAA-record 38-victory, Final Four season of 2007-08 under former coach John Calipari and serve three years' probation because of NCAA rules violations, the NCAA Committee on Infractions announced Thursday.

Memphis president Shirley Raines said shortly after the NCAA's announcement that the school is appealing what she called an unfair penalty.

Why would UK be punished for what calipari did at memphis?

The NCAA needs to be reformed but they'll ALWAYS be a need for an 'NCAA-like' organization
