?The Downfall of Louisville?

[auror]

This is a full admission of guilt by the university. Next up, Death Penalty.

When FBI has you dead to rights, might as well submit a guilty plea.

On death penalty: It's on the table, but we'll see what precedent NCAA wants to set.

Given how the NCAA takes years to finalize investigations, I doubt they do anything anytime soon

In this case, once FBI concludes and submits findings to courts, there won't be much need for NCAA to actually do any investigating, will just come down to levying penalty and then the appeals (which do take forever).

You can bet that with Tom Jurich gone as AD at Louisville, Football HC Bob Petrino will be working every angle to try & get out ....

There must be a hell-hole of incriminating evidence which was supplied to the school. According to the FBI reports, there was also an "abundance" of additional actions discovered during the course of this investigation.

Football and WBB could be on the list

Does anyone think this scandal will actually "threaten the viability of college basketball" or college sports as a whole?

LOL. No.

Travis Ragsdale‏ Boxes and bags going into trunk of black Lexus at practice facility. Need the video or it didn't happen - LOL

Even removing personal items, the Trickster makes a poor student assistant do his dirty work. Even with phone records and emails already in hand, ... hours until the FBI's confiscating Louisville and all coaches' own computers, phones, etc.?

Edit: Hah, not even hours:

Mike Lacett‏ @mikelacett Just saw an unmarked police car roll up to Yum. Guy came out of building with desk top computer than leave

Will anyone ever hire Pitino again?

The answer is yes unless he gets a lifetime ban from coaching any NCAA school.

[CL82]

I'd put the odds at zero percent, give or take nothing.

The show cause alone might outlive him.

If he ever gets another job, it will be at one of those crazy bible colleges and even that's not likely given his history in Italian restaurants.

I hear St. Joe's in Hartford is looking. Just saying.

 

[The Funster]

LOL. No.

I agree but right now there 30+ schools self-evaluating and/or beginning to plan damage control.

 

[CL82]

I am hopeful that it is the end of the 1-done era.

"Oh wait. You were serious? That's even funnier!"​

 

[CL82]

demote them back to the aac.

Lol, it probably isn't a good thing if the worst punishment you can think of is making a school join your conference.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

According to sources, Tom Jurich was asked to fire Rick Pitino, refused, both were fired

So, Loserville's Interim President gave Jurich an opportunity to do his own dirty work, Jurich refused, and the latter simply expedited Jurich's inevitable firing by a few hours or days. Same same!

All of Tom Jurich's favorite media members are reporting he has been fired....yet Louisville says he hasn't. Really odd

They have a 10 day notice period in contract. They can't say anything differently.

If anyone else is interested, I found a link to a live stream of the presser scheduled for 1 p.m: WATCH LIVE at 1 p.m. | U of L administrators to hold news conference on FBI corruption investigation of U of L basketball program

I did - there is a reason that guy is reporting on sports in Podunk, KY.

I like @nelsonmuntz's suggestion that Louisville becomes the sacrificial lamb so the NCAA can talk about how tough it is while giving lesser sanctions to the other schools involved. That may just be wishful thinking coloring my judgement though.

 

[ihatepants]

What school does Pitino end up at now? Baylor?

 

[ivrytontusker]

Great pick for the ACC by BC and Syracuse!

 

[WrenchFan69]

Heard they're changing their name to the UMass Quarterminutemen
