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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Does that mean Michigan is the 2013 champion?

Don't think so. If vacated, it would just mean there was no 2013 National Champion.

USC football got stripped of its 2004 BCS title. Although they're still recognized by the Associated Press as National Champs, no team is recognized as 2004 champs by the BCS.

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

How is this the woodshed?

Yes losing the NC is notable but at this point does anyone really recall which teams seasons have and haven't been erased from the records? It's kinda like having your marriage annulled.

These days a postseason ban is killer. That there is none here waters fine its severity imho.
 
I'm not sure about the death penalty thing, but on the other end of the spectrum, Pitino is a bit nutty complaining and speaking out.

As Mad Dog Russo said today, pipe down and shut up you got away with a LOT.

No kidding. At this point, the better PR move would be to just take your medicine and shut up about it. This righteous indignation BS just makes them look worse than they already do, if that's possible.

Basic disagreement: Louisville wants to be judged on the value of the benefits, NCAA says lurid nature of the benefits is the basis.

Louisville still arguing with the NCAA over the dollar amount to be put on oral sex to a minor. That lets you know all you have to know about Louisville and it's morals.....

REPORT: U of L player told NCAA that an assistant coach blamed bad practice on 'strippers'

And...

Word that resonates in Louisville NCAA punishment: Repugnant

>>It was delivered by Carol Cartwright, the chief hearing officer for the Committee on Infractions as well as the respected president emeritus at two universities. Cartwright called the string of Louisville NCAA violations “repugnant.”

Repugnant is not an overused sports word like unbelievable or clutch that works its way into the talk show conversation every day. It’s also not a word that makes you shrug.

It’s a harsh and sober word, one that I cannot remember invoked to describe the activities that occurred around a Division I basketball program over a four-year period. Not at Syracuse. Not at UNLV. Not anywhere.

That’s the slice of this NCAA fiasco that Pitino, U of L athletic director Tom Jurich, interim president Dr. Greg Postel and others at the university dismissed, downplayed or overlooked in their Thursday push back against penalties they view as excessive, harsh and worthy of appeal.<<
 
Are they going to be thrown out of the ACC and UConn take their place? I think not.
 
I used to go somewhere where people would refer to L'ville as "Loserville", haha. Seems we are not too far from that these days.
