Kentucky Basketball Drops $800,000 For Lavish Spring Trip To The Bahamas
http://yahoo.thepostgame.com/blog/dish/201501/kentucky-basketball-dropped-800000-lavish-trip-bahamasAccording to information obtained through an open-records request from The Courier-Journal, Kentucky racked up nearly $800,000 in expenses for a spring trip to the popular island destination....
For example, coach John Calipari was put up in a $1,550 per night luxury suite. Kentucky defended the cost, saying the suite was also used as a meeting space for the team....
However, not every expense was as defensible. The school also spent $24,000 to fund a reception for the teams involved. Part of those funds went to an open bar made available to the college teams.
There's no proof the players drank at the reception, but scenarios are in play here. After all, the legal drinking age in the Bahamas is just 18.

Damn! I getting fucking old. I was to the Bahamas nearly 30 years ago. Good thing they didn't find the pot that my ex brought along!! (We were far past 18 at the time!!)
