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.<< [/QUOTE]
