Death penalty impact?

I honestly think the death penalty is on the table.

Strippers and prostitutes for under age recruits followed RIGHT AWAY by paying over 100k for players.

All caught on tape by the gosh darn FBI!!!

If they don't get the death penalty, than they will get something that sets the program back for years.

Make no mistake, the NCAA does not wax poetic about a school like Louisville.

They will be more than willing to make them a sacrificial lamb.

The closest the NCAA has come to the death penalty in recent times was Baylor basketball. They were not allowed to play non-conference opponents for one season as well as the typical NCAA sanctions like scholarship reductions...

I think they'll get something like this. It won't be the true death penalty, but it will be severe and last for a few years.
 
As a UConn fan im happy, however, im probably going to attend Louisville so.... ****! But well see how everything goes.
 
This is so unprecedented in the modern college sports era that I don't know how anyone can confidently make any prediction. Yes, this is the FBI, but the FBI isn't going to include NCAA penalties as part of its settlement.

We're just going to have to see. But it's hard to believe this won't bite us in the rear one way or another. Everything else does.

Louisville is in a world of hurt for sure. While the NCAA has taken it's time with UNC I can see this being fast tracked and the hammer coming down hard. My guess is just short of the death penalty with numerous scholarship reduction and post season ban for four years at least. It will cripple them for years to come.

Why would you go to Louisville exactly? RJ Evans is at Louisville as a grad assistant currently, hoping he doesn't experience any serious negative affects from all this.

The city isn't bad at all, the University and the state absolutely suck.

Honestly how bad could a one year death penalty hurt a school like Louisville?

Not like they're being forced back to the American or conference USA.

We don't need cheaters in the AAC.

I dont want to get deep on this thread but its close to where I live, I can get in, and they have Sports Administration as a major.

It will come down to how outside the lines UL actually was. There are at least 4 P5 programs tabbed for steering players to agents. That's bad. There are another handful that are going to go down for paying recruits. While I doubt there is an epidemic of coaches and universities in kahoots with agents and financial advisors. I am not as certain that the number of schools that pay Top 50 recruits 5+ figure sums is less than say 20.

A scandal that nabs 20+ of the top programs isn't something the NCAA wants to uncover. They will give the Syracuse treatment to any school that is dumb enough to get caught out publicly. If UL is on an island then they will be a sacrificial lamb with a chance to survive if they clean house.
 
Even if Louisville gets a penalty that hammers them for 3-4 years aren't they still in the ACC? Let me ask this hypothetically. Would we at UCONN take Louisville's penalty unknown at this time for a straight conference trade with them? We become ACC and they take our place in the AAC. See? We're more screwed than them and they're getting the penalty!

No, and if anyone would they should be checked into an asylum.

are your grades and test scores that low, or perhaps you haven't heard but the whores are only for the mens basketball team
just busting on you!!!!
 
Louisville deserves to get the kick into the next century. When your main recruitment technique involves two things that are jail sentences in just about every other area of society (child prostitution and bribery), you know when you get caught it is going to be bad.
P.S. I hope ESPN drums up this Louisville thing and works behind the scenes to save our bacon for once.

Don't hold your breath while waiting for your P.S. to happen.

Louisville should panic if it sees negative press on ESPN, because any move by ESPN against Louisville will need to be blessed on Tobacco Road.

Shizzle, ESPN is all in on the ACC and big names and Pitino, Roy, K. maybe they lose some schollies but of you have enough studs it don't matter that much.

It could not be a more perfect storm for a death penalty,,,,

An obviously crooked upstart non-academic focused sports factory with 2 legendarily shady head coaches gets caught on tape discussing paying players $1000,000 less than 2 months after being sanctioned by the NCAA for providing hookers to recruits,,,,

The difference on this one will be the legally obtained title 3 wire taps and the FBI. For example, hearing Ray Rice punched his girlfriend wasn't nearly the impact as when one saw the video. How do you think hearing Louisville Assistant coaches talk about paying players will go over? Probably with same incremental effect the Ray Rice video had? The tapes will go public and its hard for the NCAA to slow role findings by the FBI.

The Death penalty is not out of the question for UL...either way Pitino and Jurich are gone
 
If Louisville were serious about cleaning up the mess they would basically step back from big time athletics for a while maybe for good, and play D3. Of course they will never do that. But if they had integrity they would.
 
This is an FBI investigation. All the schools on the list are in serious trouble. And I don't mean just the coaches and assistant coaches. The administration of these schools are going to be scrutinized. There are federal dollars, big federal dollars that go out each year. What we don't know is now much the FBI really has. But to make this announcement, they have to have some very serious and incriminating evidence. University ADs and presidents can't skirt this one.

Emmert and the NCAA better be sweating it too. They are the governing and enforcement body. Even though they don't have the subpoena powers, they have investigative powers.

As to Louisville, I think the death penalty has to be seriously considered. If the NCAA doesn't, then they have no credibility, not that they have much now. I don't think the ACC is going to stand behind Louisville as more comes out.
 
I think the NCAA will do everything they can to appear to come down hard on UL just short of imposing the death penalty. The ACC will impose some kind of sanctions like external academic and athletic monitoring, but will not do anything that actually matters. UL will buy out the athletic director after Pitino is fired, and possibly the president and trustees will get nice golden parachutes. But the ACC will not kick UL out or anything like that, and the NCAA will not actually do anything that matters.

Isn't the university inured from all this because the rent is paid by the municipality? That was the whole controversy. AND, if Louisville was somehow forced to enter into a less advantageous contract with the YUM, did the lawyers idemnify the school in case of such a thing happening? In other words, Louisville was dealing from a position of strength. It did the town a favor. And given the coach, the lawyers might have been smart enough to protect the school on this.

The lawyers probably protectected the school from abWhoreant sexual activity such as inbreeding and felatio with relatives given the coach and state but it will be interesting if the school has protected itself from felonious behavior.
