Bledsoe keeps high school gradeEmail Print Comments141 ESPN.com news services

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- The Birmingham school board is letting basketball star Eric Bledsoe keep a grade that helped him gain NCAA eligibility to play at Kentucky.

Superintendent Craig Witherspoon said Friday a teacher says Bledsoe completed makeup work to justify a higher grade in an algebra course during the 2008-2009 school year. The mark was switched from an "C" to an "A" after the work was done.

Witherspoon says an investigation found no documentation to justify the improvement. But, he says, an investigation didn't prove that it was improper, either. He added that the report is completes the investigation.

Questions have been raised about high school grades that allowed Bledsoe to qualify with the NCAA to play at Kentucky. Bledsoe left the Wildcats after one season and is a rookie with the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers.

Reached Kentucky coach John Calipari, who was with his ill mother in Charlotte, and he declined comment saying the school was handling any comments on the matter.

"Eric Bledsoe was a part of our normal institutional process, the NCAA's normal eligibility cycle and a more extensive secondary review by the NCAA eligibility center as well," Kentucky said in a statement issued Friday night. "We maintain our reliance on the high school, university and NCAA eligibility center for initial eligibility and will continue to do so. At no point was the University of Kentucky under investigation by the NCAA nor had any reason to believe we were ever under investigation."

Because of the ruling, the NCAA will not get a new transcript from Bledsoe; therefore, it won't review Bledsoe's eligibility, which it cleared prior to his freshman season.

In an e-mail to ESPN.com earlier this week, NCAA director of communication strategy Chuck Wynne wrote: "When a transcript is officially changed, we generally get a copy of the new official transcript because we are on the authorized list of recipients. The same for standardized test scores. There are other occasions when we share new information with the school which they use to make decisions at the campus level.

Big-picture, whenever we or the involved member school become aware of new academic information that could impact a previous decision, the established process calls for us to work together towards the correct resolution, even if that means changing a previous decision. How that is done depends a great deal on how the new information comes to light."

I thought I read somewhere that the NCAA and UK were meeting Monday to discuss? Anyone else see this?

First I've heard of that. Hope you heard wrong. I hope some prick like Forde/Thamel gets taken to the cleaners by the Bledsoe family and the Bigmingham school system. No excuse.

I have no words (other than swears) to say about Forde. He uses other people's fame to get noticed. Means you're a leech, Pat.
