Before you do anything else, go read this LA Times article about the case of Shabazz Muhammad. This is the first objective, first-hand evidence I have seen of serious integrity problems in the institution. Yes, we have been able to infer that from some of their actions, but this is more than that. I am signing up for the "Free Shabazz" movement right now.

Calipari’s right: Duke has mastered the art of drawing charge calls // Sporting News
Without going back through the tape of Duke-Kentucky to evaluate each of the charges the Blue Devils drew, I’ll say the five whistled in their favor in the first half Tuesday was an exorbitantly high number. It’s three more charges than the other three Champions Classic participants drew—combined—in 120 minutes of basketball. That’s not how the new interpretation is designed to work.

LSU coach Les Miles and his obsession over beating Alabama // ESPN The Magazine - ESPN
Miles is a man of such eccentric and exaggerated quirks that by the time he reaches the public imagination, all that's left of him are those bits of weirdness: the grass-eating, the odd way he claps and wears his hat, the dueling adjectives of guts and insanity that follow his play-calling like puppies fighting over a wounded bird. So it's strange, even a little jarring, to hear him being introspective and thoughtful.
