NCAA released its report on Louisville

So here's the question is this worse that Syracuse's decade long triple scandal of drugs, paying players and falsifying transcripts? I'd actually say, salacious though it is, probably not.

In any event, if I am UNC, I'm feeling a little worried right about now.

 

[Vancat]

Pay the piper

 

[uconnbill]

Still, think UNC will only get a slap on the wrist. If I was ECU and others in North Carolina I would be worried about something coming down the line.

To me, the Cuse's actions were worse than L'ville but L'ville seems to be paying a steeper price - especially if they have to vacate the title.
As far as UNC - don't hold your breath - I see nothing coming - it will be stalled until 2050
Yet JC was banned for 3 games for failure to monitor 1 thing - texts and Pitino gets only 5 for failures much worse - I don't get it but its the NCAA so there's nothing to "get"

I'm not clear on the age of consent laws in Kentucky, but it would appear UL arranged for, paid for, and allowed the statutory rape of numerous minors. If the consent laws in the state bear that out, that's an enormous offense.

We all know they were National Champions, but maybe they won't be able to hang the banner in the rafters?

[alfonse]

Does that mean Michigan is the 2013 champion?

I think it's 3. As soon as they can talk in full sentences.

Good lord. How is someone not in prison for this? Is this not accessory to statutory rape of some sorts?

Also, how are Jurich and Pitino still employed? Serious question.

 

[John]

they should be DPed. This is disgusting.

Pitino is employed because Jurich is an even bigger scumbag. And Jurich is employed because the people Louisville have no morals.

Guess one could say there is not enough outrage outside of Louisville. From a thread on the Louisville Foundation Audit Findings thread in the CR Forum:

KelTheTweeter‏ @bluekel Jun 9
The number of scandals under the Jurich reign (intentional word choice) is staggering. Yet he gets a free pass on it all.

Do you know exactly what Syracuse's violations were??

 

[auror]

Just saw this. Jesus.

 

[huskymedic]

Should NCAA's historic punishment of Louisville make UNC nervous?

I'm afraid that the NCAA took Louisville to the woodshed now so that they can be lenient on UNC later.

 

[superjohn]

This is unbelievable, they shouldn't have a program anymore as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Horatio]

Priceless

Yup... Appeal away for the "penalties" being too egregious:

>>By his own admission, the head coach and his assistants did not interact with prospects from 10 p.m. until the next morning. The panel noted that the head coach essentially placed a peer of the student-athletes in a position of authority over them and visiting prospects, and assumed that all would behave appropriately in an environment that was, for all practical purposes, a basketball dorm.

This arrangement played a role in creating a location where the former operations director’s activities went undetected. The operations director arranged adult entertainment and/or sex acts for 15 prospects, three enrolled student-athletes, a friend visiting with one of the prospects and two nonscholastic coaches. At least seven, and perhaps as many as 10, of the 15 prospects were under the age of 18 at the time. None of the prospects visiting campus knew that the activities would occur and none of them expected the activities to occur on their visits. Some of them expressed surprise and discomfort at what transpired. The panel noted it has not previously encountered a case like this, and that the violations were severe and were intended to provide a substantial recruiting advantage for the university.<<

All I care about is do they lose players and can those players transfer and be immediately eligible. Like I said when UL first got in this mess, had they gone to a legitimate Pimp ( professional, certified prostitute manager ) this would've never happened.

 

[huskiesnyc]

They should be banned next year and let current players leave for greener pastures.....Storrs, CT baby

 

[Guapo]

The unholy trinity of Pitino, Petrino and Jurich; what a disgusting Athletic Department, what a disgusting institution. The ACC must be so proud.

 

[uconnbill]

let's be honest here. The NCAA should give UNC just short of the Death Penalty at least, but we know that won't happen because they're a Blue Blood program. The NCAA is a joke and we all know it.
