On Wednesday, it was announced that Memphis would be honoring former head basketball coach John Calipari for all his successes with the school during the season. Memphis fans were not too happy with that announcement and rightfully so after Calipari left for Kentucky in the midst of an NCAA investigation.
It looks like the fans’ uproar has caused university President Dr. David Rudd to go in a different direction. According to College Spun, Rudd has called off the celebration scheduled for sometime in December and issued a public apology via Twitter.
Here is my response to our University and Community.
