Jay - Z has 99 problems but Kentucky ain't 1 ..... Not so fast : The NBA has confirmed an investigation into Jay Z meeting Kentucky players in the locker room

Remember the video of Jay - Z celebrating the Kentucky victory over North Carolina a couple weeks ago?  Apparently, this was against the rules as Jay - Z is part owner of the New Jersey Nets.  Below is taken from CBS Sports.com , 

The NBA plans to investigate contact between Nets part-owner Jay-Z and members of the Kentucky basketball team after the Wildcats beat North Carolina Sunday to advance to the Final Four, a person with knowledge of the situation told CBSSports.com. The hip-hop mogul's visit was documented in photos and video showing him congratulating players in the Kentucky locker room, which happened to have been occupied by two potential lottery picks -- Brandon Knight and Terrance Jones. As noted here, this offense would seem to be comparable to Celtics GM Danny Ainge sitting with Kevin Durant's mother during the 2007 Big 12 tournament. Ainge was fined $30,000, a slap on the wrist in exchange for the opportunity to schmooze a top prospect's mom. But given that standard, Jay-Z should be docked $30K for each college player who was in the locker room.



What does this mean for the Kentucky Wildcats ?  Is John Calipari in trouble?  Do we have to give up our Final Four banner?  No, it means nothing in terms of Kentucky.  This is an NBA rule, not a NCAA one.  Jay -Z will have to pay a fine, I'm sure he'll survive.
