CHEATERS, LIARS, KILLERS? WHO CARES?!

Detroit Free Press: Fab Five's Jalen Rose to be honored at Feb 23. game.

Wait, that doesn't sound right, does it?

If you are a fan of college basketball, well, its downright disgusting. For those not aware of the situation, let me take you on a trip down memory lane.

See, Rose and his cohorts knows as the Fab Five participated in one of the worst scandals in NCAA history. Many of his teammates received in upwards of several hundred thousand dollars by a seedy booster named Ed Martin. UM was forced to vacate their records and take down their final four banners from those years.

And while for years Rose said he never received money, in 2002, he finally fessed up.

"He gave me money before, but it wasn't in excess of — you know — trying to allow me to be rich," Rose said. "You know it was allowing me to have a couple of dollars in my pocket."

Why would a school honor a player who basically sent their basketball program into a tailspin they've yet to recover from.

Who knows?

But it made me think, are other schools going to follow suit?

I can see the headlines now.....
