Popular opinion seems to be that Kyle Wiltjer’s departure from Kentucky is how transfers are supposed to work. It was a quick and amicable parting, with both sides wishing each other well.

When APR scores and penalties were released a couple weeks ago, Alabama State stood out with four teams banned from the postseason: football, men’s basketball, baseball and volleyball.
