COMMENT: Case study for what is wrong with college basketball. Tigers have had four coaches since 1996, including Tic Price, who resigned in '99 after admitting to affair with student. Poor academic performance predates latest NCAA tracking: From 1990 to '97, 40 players entered program but only two earned degrees. New coach John Calipari talks about improving that, but among his first moves was hiring Milt Wagner (father of Dajuan), who has no college degree, and signing Dajuan's pal Arthur Barclay, who was academically ineligible last season. Senior forward John Grice is academically ineligible for first semester.
