As for Woods, I could see it either way. He may deserve a second chance. He may truly be sorry for his crime. I don't know Woods, nor do I pretend to. I know next to nothing of his situation. But, the guy has a criminal record. A pretty serious charge, too. To say that he'll be fine because of his coach smacks of blue-tinted glasses. (Not that that's ever stopped you, WMR.)
Angry WKU fan alert. Seeing you stomp your feet is mildly cute, but it isn't going to make you any more relevant.

Cal's two years here have been beyond amazing. Keep trying to hate on the guy though, that seems to be your MO.

To try and use Wall and Kanter as black marks against Cal is just sad. I would expect much better from you.

Do you know that had Kanter not finished up both his semesters in good academic standing the NCAA would have punished UK? Aren't you a teacher? Wow.
