OT: Louisville presser at 1:30 today

[kobe]

Screw Louisville. They decided to set up a home and home with Memphis rather that us because "Josh asked first." Wish them nothing but the worst.

 

[Dooley]

The pimpin' business is about to BOOM in Louisville, come March.

 

[upstater]

Miami, Syracuse, Louisville, North Carolina, Florida St.....

Is this really the conference that was worried about UConn and Matt Nochimson?

 

[tcf15]

If its true that its a postseason ban that would be pretty grimy towards Lewis and Lee

Especially when Louisville sent only Lewis and Lee to ACC media day to answer all the questions. So sh tty.

 

[JimHurley]

Wow I absolutely hate Louisville but that is so unfair to Lee and Lewis. Unbelievable. Those two were looking to make the NCAA tourney for the first time.

 

[superjohn]

There is no bigger scumbag than Pitino, everything about Louisville just reeks

 

[The Viking]

Kentucky has some really shady basketball programs, eh?

 

[tcf15]

That is the only difference. But, like Syracuse, it will only affect them for a fraction of one season.

We're now going on 4 years of impact from the NCAA's vendetta against us and JC.

Syracuse is still gonna have problems with recruiting down the road. I mean, they had Thomas Bryant all but officially committed when the sanctions were announced, and he ended up going to Indiana. He would be a major difference maker for Syracuse this year. Their 2017 & 2018 classes will be pretty mediocre if I had to guess.

Sucks for those two transfers who've been killing it for a overachieving L'ville, smh should be a 2017 ban. NCAA needs to do something about this loophole.

I'm under the impression that the NCAA is the one driving these self imposed bans. Takes them off the hook for being the bad guy. They are probably back room dealing saying fall on your sword or we'll murder you and your family.

 

[BUHusky]

The NoEscalators twitter feed is hot fire right now. Check it out if you haven't already.

Just because its self imposed doesn't mean the ncaa can't add to it, just saying

 

[Bryan Lord]

And it's a self imposed ban! At least it wasn't like Cuse when they weren't gonna make it anyway.

What went down there goes down all over the country. Jalen Rose said, "if there's not strippers, I'm not coming for my visit". If Shaq's pulling 6 figures to go to LSU back in the early 90s you don't think that's exponentially worse today? I wonder what Simmons got. After what we went through, I'm surprised anyone can hold the position that the schools who get punished, even by themselves to escape the spinning shotgun of the NCAA, are the only guilty parties and not just the latest victims of selective enforcement. (I know this story doesnt break without the madam author).

 

[8893]

In before "Pats are going to lose another draft pick over this" post.

 

[tcf15]

Press conference on ESPN right now.

 

[BUHusky]

These yokels...

 

[Hi-Low]

Rick please go away.....you are pathetic. Why would any recruit trust this guy anymore.

 

[John]

I wonder when the UNC press conference will take place....

The difference being, coaches don't procure the strippers.

 

[BUHusky]

I'm going to need a shower after watching this. Disgusting.

 

[OkaForPrez]

Who does deserve it Rick?

 

[GemParty]

How can you pick when it's convenient to serve a penalty? What if it was BC. Hey, we will ban for this year. Okay-

 

[BUHusky]

Never stop selling Rick. Never stop being a self serving POS. Not even at this presser. So disgusting.

 

[UConnSwag11]

Cuse Louisville and then unc. If uconn did a tenth of what they did we'd be dragged through the mud and ridiculed more than we were with the apr.

 

[The Viking]

Louisville praying the NCAA leaves them alone now - you never OVER-self impose punishments. You hope you throw them enough flesh so that they move on.

So last year syracuse, this year louisville, next year UNC?

 

[Kitaman]

They should somehow pay the Seniors (I know they won't) and let them lose their eligibility in a profitable way.

 

[jibsey]

North Carolina players basically had bogus academic careers and they play happily on? What are they saying about future Louisville scholarships?

 

[CL82]

Wow, all black, black curtain background and on the table, it's a funeral.

They've found that they've violated NCAA rules. Possibly it is a "Class 1 violation."

Pitino: "We're going to play the last 9 games of the season as if they were the last games we'll ever play."

CL82: I think he's done. I also think that Pitino disagrees with the decision to self ban.

Pitino: "I'm just a soldier."

CL82: Neither Pitino nor Jurich know what was discovered. Inquiry is still pending.

"At some point, this information will come out."

Calipari?

 

[swami7774]

Pitino: "None of this, to this day, makes any sense to me at all."
Right.
