Former Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino's attorneys have asked a federal judge to reopen discovery in his lawsuit against the university's athletics association to allow them to examine whether a Cardinals trustee was the "cash source" for payments to strippers, who allegedly danced and had sex with players and recruits during parties at a campus dorm.
The allegation about a Louisville trustee funding the stripper parties surfaced earlier this week from a July 26 deposition of former board of trustees chairman J. David Grissom in an unrelated financial fraud lawsuit the university and its nonprofit foundation are pursuing against former Louisville president James Ramsey and some of his top aides.
During the deposition, Grissom said under oath that Ramsey told him in June 2016 that another trustee was the "cash source" of payments to Katrina Powell and other women who danced at the parties.
