Louisville's Notice of Allegations Coming this Week

[CL82]

The university was not charged with any violations, including a lack of institutional control or failure to monitor, the two most egregious NCAA infractions.

Yeah, well it's not like they did anything serious, like text kids too many times, or actually make kids go to classes.

 

[bluestreak]

So...it's okay to pay for hookers to influence recruits, but not phone calls, or airplane rides or anything dirty like that.

 

[gtcam]

IF lville was still in AAC they would have been given a much harsher penalty
Not much more to say but the NCAA is like today's media/journalists - penalize those you don't like and close your eyes on things done by those you share a bed- screw equity
DISGUSTING
Pitino will get the something in the area of can't coach first 5 regular season games but will be back by ACC play

 

[upstater]

Syracuse and Louisville got off very lightly. It amazes me.

I mean, this is really disgusting stuff.

What does it say to all the women on that campus?

 

[The Viking]

Is the NCAA telling Louisville they didn't need to restrict themselves from March Madness last year?

Never mind they did note the self imposed sanctions

 

[Rico444]

Does anyone doubt that this is going to come out Friday afternoon and will be a slap on the wrist?

I'm more surprised that this wasn't buried at the end of the week than I am of the result of the investigation.

Were the punishments for these acts remotely similar?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Honestly, it's a complete joke if anyone gets off here

Isn't that what the hookers were there for?

The Ville penalty reads about what UConn received for APR.

 

[alexd]

Pitino was too busy "very briefly" getting it on ontop of a restaurant table.

We self imposed a post season ban on a top 10 team and took away 2 schollys.
Nobody received any cash or items. Boils down to a staffer that spent his own money on adult entertainment wrecklessly.
The University of Louisville set a new standard for cooperation and openness with the NCAA over this matter.
Some men cant handle their bourbon. Some men cant handle discussions involving sex without losing perspective either.

I assume you didn't post this as a joke, which actually makes it more hilarious.

 

[AZHuskiePop]

In retrospect if UConn self imposed a ban in 2012
Plus the scholarships already in place we would have been good to go in 2013
With a team that included AO,Bazz,Ryan DD, Niels, and maybe even Rodney
That team might have been decent.
Anyone actually believe that

I have to agree that Ville understands sexual abuse better than most schools. After all you do have Rick and Bobby on staff.

His tweets ignore the fact that the NCAA changed the rules so that any violation made by the staff falls squarely on the coach. 'I did not know' is not a defense. Of course, this assumes that the NCAA will actually enforce its rules, which is a separate subject.

Somebody doubled down on stupid pills today. Nobody received cash or items? It is not illegal in society (just NCAA rules) to give cash and items. No the Louisville recruits only got hookers. Last time I checked soliciting hookers is an actual crime. So logic NCAA follows is that it is far better to have broken a law than it is to break one of their stupid rules. Again their decision making follows no logic whatsoever.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

How many times did Pitino mention 9/11 in his presser?

 

[mauconnfan]

F"KING JOKE

 

[Duncan Idaho]

The program ran hookers. Getting turned off.

I am still waiting for someone to explain how the "rogue" coach was able to bankroll these parties with is salary. Either The Quick knew about it, or some bag man related to the program did. No way did he pay for all of that on his own.

 

[superjohn]

Pitino is scum.

Guy probably went to UL, isn't stupid a given?

I read it totally as a joke until I read your post. Thought it was pretty good, too.

 

[temery]

Hardly even worth looking into.

First off, Mcgee wasnt a coach, he was a member of the staff. We are talking about only 5000 dollars over 5 years he spent on strippers that peformed parties that anyone was welcome to. The most he spent at a single party was around 500 bucks. The actual value of any improper benefit was very low. What is the value of a bj? The self imposed sanctions are more than adequate and it seems the NCAA agrees.
Looking forward to this being behind us and happy it seems to have no affect on recruiting. Good luck on your permanent future as a g5 school.

 

[RichZ]

He led with it and brought it up twice more. The hooker claims she received 10 grand.

The NCAA calculated the value of the services to 5480, I beleive. So the biggest sin the Louisville staff is guilty of seems to be overpaying for hookers.

The NCAA apparently has identified 17 or more players/recruits as having received impermissible benefits. If any of those players were on the roster in 2013 and the chip is not vacated, the NCAA should be. (vacated).

 

[junglehusky]

It's important to keep things in perspective and remember the real victim. Rick Pitino.

Did you spend your entire day today going to every college basketball message board defending your scumbag coach and the reputation of your commuter school?

 

[Dove]

Hookers and blow got Looeyville into the ACC. Hookers and blow never hurt nobody.

Jim Calhoun kicked ass and broke some hearts.

And there is the key. Just like UNC Since everyone was welcome the hookers benefitted the whole student body so there is nothing the NCAA can or should do!
