What's the point of vacating?

I liked the comments to the article better. This one was my favorite:

"I can't believe he had sex with her in the restaurant, then paid for an abortion. And he still gets to keep his job,......Oh, wait. Wrong scumbag coach now living in Kentucky."

In addition to the test taking scandal is the fact that Derrick Rose's brother was given special benefits (ie. able to ride the team plane to away games). You can't tell me Calipari didn't know about that.

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. You can't tell me he did and know you're right.

There are a lot of people on those planes, lots of boosters and university staff, and I doubt the coach is the one checking who is on it aside from checking that he's got his players.

Ok, so maybe Cal didn't know but someone from the program/university had to know and the fact that they are associated with the excess benefits makes the penalty of vacating games a reasonable one IMO.

How do you figure that? There is NO evidence that anyone from the university knew anything aside from the SAT organization saying he passed and the NCAA clearinghouse saying the score was valid....until 2 years later.
