OT: Louisville presser at 1:30 today

[OkaForPrez]

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."

Don't buy his BS. He was absolutely involved in the decision to ban this year. He has to distance himself from it to hold his lockeroom.

 

[B1GEast]

This is big, which leads me to believe there's A Lot more under the surface that we don't know. I'm certain if and when it comes out, a one year self imposed ban will seem like a light penalty

 

[CL82]

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.

'Cuse, Louisville, UNC...
hmmn, is there A Common denominator about these Colleges?

Not so sure. I get the sense he's, appropriately, going to be through under the bus.

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.

Future recruits also got to see what the future looks like with Hopkins coaching. Not good.

Yeah, Hopkins is not the answer to that program.

Light penalty? The ban they could live with but no more hookers? That will discourage a lot of recruits and have a big impact on the local economy

 

[beerfan]

Hmmmm..... he put his Miami house on the market a couple of days ago for 26 Mil

Well played.

So here's the question is the 2013 season in jeopardy for them? That would explain why they took this step pre-emptively.

 

[Danzz]

Just about every recent Louisville star was involved. I find it hard to believe that Pitino didn't know-it went on for too long.
As an aside, I knew a man who played football at Florida in the 60's and he told me he was getting $125 a week and other SEC players had similar deals. I really thought most of the blatant infractions had ended but Louisville disproves it.

 

[superjohn]

And Dan Dakich once again shows what a POS he is.

 

[jibsey]

Look at the difference in violations for us vs Louisville Cuse and NC. We tried to get a poor kid an operation for chrissakes, then some players didn't do well academically.....fair and square. We were crucified compared to what's going on here. We were called a dirty program. Makes me laugh.

why is he chiming in on Louisville?

you can self-impose to avoid a future ban, I doubt it has any retroactive effect on past seasons.

 

[BoatShow]

One less team fighting for an at large bid is my only takeaway from this.

 

[Jaybo]

The look on everyone's faces here is GREAT!!! Like someone shot there grandma.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

Pitino, Jurich, and President Ramsey will all be attending.

Loserville's Bobby Petrino must feel so abandoned, this time.

 

[BUConn10]

It's no surprise when a second rate academic institution, and commuter school behaves as such.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Honestly what would it matter if they were stripped of the 2013 title? They aren't replaying the games, if they take away the money, so what?
The current and any future bans are the only things that have a real world impact.

But I do agree whatever they found must be pretty bad. Carolina's turn to self-ban now.

[Scot-e]

Holy $hite! The ACC is a dump fire this year. I mean wow!
As Forest Gump said " that's all I have to say about that".

 

[John]

Guess they should have made a poster for the basketball team too....

 

[CL82]

No we did not. A former manager/wanna be agent did that on his own.

Don't help.

 

[B1GEast]

They need to list those last three?

 

[CL82]

Self imposing isn't a guarantee no future ban will take place. It's only done if the institution is afraid of something a lot worse.

 

[upstater]

Jeeeez. I never liked Dakich.

 

[TheRogers]

6. No Hookers after 7pm. If not, add cab fare to tip.
7. No boning other employees wives. Yes you!
