why no one might win the NCAA Final Four

So we have our Final Four set for Saturday evening.

Butler will play Virginia Commonwealth in the first game.  Connecticut (UConn) will face off against Kentucky following that first game.

So how could no team win this Final Four?  Sometimes scandals follow particular coaches wherever they coach.  Kentucky head coach John Calipari is one of the best coaches around.  He's been to two Final Fours, and somehow, impossibly he has a 0-0 career record in those Final Fours.  You got it, look it up in Wikipedia and other sources.  Those appearances in the Final Four were vacated by the NCAA due to improprieties that occurred under Calipari's watch.  In other words, the games may have occurred, but no one recognizes that they happened.

Meanwhile, UConn coach Jim Calhoun is ready to start serving a 3-game suspension at the start of next season for giving improper benefits to a recruit.

You never know what the NCAA could dig up on these schools a few years from now, meaning if either UConn or Kentucky wins this whole thing, we might have a record book that looks like this:
