The Memphis Tigers had a magical season in 2007-2008 when they registered 38 wins and a Trip to the Finals only to see the NCAA wipe it out because of NCAA rules violations. This is a blow to Memphis who also will be put on 3 years probation as well.

The violation all stemmed from a player with a fraudulent SAT score which was later found out to be Derrick Rose who is in the NBA right now. It is a shame that it has come to this, but that is what happens when you break the rules in the NCAA. They usually come down on you and hard in fact and Memphis is finding that out.

The University of Louisville is in a tight situation when it comes to this latest thing that has surface about Rick Pitino. They know they have to do something, but what will be fair and also make everyone happy. Pitino paid for an abortion for a women that he had sex with. Now I guess there are many different ways that you can look at it, but the University needs to take a stand or they face a bunch of backlash from a lot of different people.

I think that the right thing for them to do is suspend Coach Pitino for a certain amount of games during the season. This would send the point that the University of Louisville does not condone this kind of practice by one of their coaches. If they do nothing I think it will be must worse for the school and Rick Pitino. If they do something like a suspension it will show they care about people and do not tolerate employees of the University to act this way.

This week we lost an icon that thrilled everyone with his music and touched many lives. Most people do not equate Michael Jackson with sports, but his music still is used by ball players even after his death. After hearing of his death many Major League players asked to use some of his songs as they walk to the plate or out of the bullpen. Several Milwaukee Brewer players did and are planning to use them longer as a tribute and respect for the great entertainer.

Most people do not realize that Michael jackson crossed many different boundaries and sports was just another one that he touched. His music will be around forever and will be missed, but his legacy will live forever and you might just hear his music at your favorite ball park as well.

If you have been following Sports Hits for anytime you have realized that we love sports of all kinds and the people who play it. This is why I have come up with the Sports Hits Hall Of Fame. At the top of this blog you will see a link where you can click on to read everyday about our newest addition to the Hall Of Fame.

Now the people who will be added to the Sports Hits Hall Of Fame are players who may not have the stats you need to get to the regular Hall of Fame in their sport, but still made a valuable contribution to their teams and help them win. There are many deserving players out their so look for the first entry tomorrow. You can also send me nominations in on who you think should be there as well. It can come from any sport men or women does not matter. This should be a lot of fun and your input is always something I look forward to.
