Report claims to expose serious allegations against Louisville

tornado said:
NCAA has completed their investigation into Louisville providing whores and sexual favors for their players & recruits and paying for it with cash right out of the pocket of their assistant coach so Pitino can claim "it wasn't me".

"NCAA charges U of L with four Level I violations - the highest level -
and cites Louisville coach Rick Pitino with failure to monitor."

That assistant Andre McGee " .. provided impermissible benefits of at least $5,400
to at least 17 prospective or then-current student-athletes at U of L, plus two "nonscholastic" coaches
- likely meaning AAU coaches - and one friend of an athlete..."
(there was some testimony that it was way more than $10,000 and these allegation never really address where that money came from...)

also - "McGee knowingly violated ethical conduct policies and twice refused to be interviewed by NCAA investigators..
..former program assistant Brandon Williams ..refused to provide telephone records to the university or the NCAA,
which the NCAA defines as a "severe" breach of conduct and worthy of a show-cause order.

and finally NCAA...
"says Pitino violated "NCAA head coach responsibility legislation, as he is presumed responsible for the allegations laid out"
against McGee and "did not rebut that presumption." Pitino, the notice says, showed a failure to monitor McGee
by failing to "frequently spot-check the program to uncover potential or existing compliance problems."

Pitino is "potentially subject" to a show-cause order as a result of that finding, the NCAA says."

betcha they drop everything against Pitino and let him off on the "duh.....I never knew a thing about it" alibi..

we all know that if even 0.1% of this stuff had happened at Bradley or SEMO, there would have been a dozen investigators on campus that very week, and they would have handed down the death penalty within a month.

So Pitino will get suspended. Louisville will get bumped UP a couple of seed lines next year because "they were without their coach" the same way that Syracuse got into the tournament this year when they didn't deserve it because of their suspension ...
 
NCAA has concluded that Louisville committed multiple serious violations, so now we're in the phase where they go dormant and we won't hear a thing until probably next spring or summer....
which gives Louisville all year to make a run, recruit top players and get richer...

Wonder how, when Bradley supposedly committed incredibly minor violations by comparison, the NCAA swooped in and hammered BU & decided on penalties all within a matter of just 1-2 months.
In the UNC scandal, that's been going on now for nearly a decade with no final call on penalties...

uh, oh...
now more scandal at LOUISVILLE
but of course - the NCAA will drag their feet for a decade and then look the other way as they have already done with all of Louisville's and UNC's scandals

http://www.whas11.com/news/local/audit-on-uofl-to-be-released-thursday/446637730

MILLIONS of dollars of FOUNDATION money- and endowment funds paid to people in the ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT for no clear purpose...
And the PRESIDENT of the University himself used $$ MILLLIONS of DOLLARS of FOUNDATION money to buy BASKETBALL and FOOTBALL tickets for his own personal use and for "gifts"!!

AD Tom Jurich was on the Foundation's board AND ON THEIR PAYROLL!!

And on top of all that - the FOUNDATION employees hired a specialized "IT AGENT" to try to come in to their office and scrub their computer files & the President's computer hard drive to hide all this scandal!!!


OMG - this should hand Louisville the death penalty - but you know it won't - that NCAA will yawn and ignore..
 
I would think the Louisville Board of Trustees would be jumping up and down on this. Universities are looking hard at costs and cutting back programs then this happens. Wasted spending
 
Looks like Louisville will get away with a mere slap on the wrist, despite serious and repeated recruiting violations and other NCAA violations over the course of several years in their basketball program. They managed to convince the NCAA that their Director of Operations was the guy solely responsible for hiring hookers and strippers to entertain recruits, and that nobody else ever knew about it. Everyone else got off very easy.
The DBO is the fall guy. He will get a 10-year "show cause" penalty, which makes him unlikely to ever get another job in college basketball. I hope he got a nice severance package from Louisville for being the sacrificial lamb.
Rick Pitino was slapped with only a suspension from coaching the first 5 ACC games next season for "failure to monitor". And the University will forfeit some money from their NCAA appearances in 2012 and 2015, and a token $5000 fine.

every athlete that got "a free hooker" should be penalized like POB was and docked 8 games for the impermissible benefits..
LOL - but of course that won't happen...
 
Some of the recruits who were entertained by the hookers/strippers did end up enrolling at Louisville and playing for them. One part of the penalties is "vacation of basketball records in which student-athletes competed while ineligible from December 2010 and July 2014". As noted, Louisville is planning on appealing, but that penalty is not a real big one, since few people care about what might happen to those games played years ago.
 
Da Coach said:
And as light as the penalties are against Louisville, considering how egregious their violations were, the Louisville President has announced they will appeal them-

Why not? The NCAA has already set precedents that they often back down on penalties against the big schools when they appeal.

From the information released this morning by the NCAA, here is what Louisville's argument was to the NCAA to refute the seriousness of their volations-

So Louisville argued that each individual striptease and sex act didn't cost very much, so they wanted the NCAA to downgrade the overall violations to a lower level.

That is like someone who robs a bank for $25,000 appealing for a light sentence because each bill they stole was only worth $10 or $20.
 
There was a nice article in the Peoria Journal Star from a writer in Pittsburg blasting Lousiville and the NCAA. He stated the Louisville Cardinals created scandalous situation and the NCAA is just as scandalous for not cracking down on them. Good!!! Finally maybe people are starting to stand up and say enough is enough
 
but the huge $$ the big schools generate for the media will go a long way towards helping to bury & ignore all this...
the only headline will be that the NCAA added more sanctions to Alabama State or SEMO

BUT -- here's the area they were the MOST hypocritical...

In most every case in the past where some coach was fully uncooperative - the SCHOOL was still held responsible and given even more severe penalties because of the failure to cooperate.
(Remember Versace?)

but now we have several of these cases where a defiant coach was 100% unwilling to cooperate at all (this case, Louisville assistant Andre McGee)
- and then NCAA goes soft on the school and guys in charge since they claim Pitino really can't be held fully responsible since it was the other guy that failed to cooperate.
They made the same argument at USC (with Reggie Bush) and at Auburn (with Cam Newton) and they let horrific abuses and impermissible benefits slide by the head coach did not know so he can't be held responsible!
 
Yeah, I remember Versace. Think he was fired after a 32-3 season. I also know his so called violations were minor.

he refused to give the NCAA agents the answers they demanded, so they charged him with failure to cooperate and decided to come down hard...

Maybe if DV had hired a boatload of hookers, or gave impermissible gifts worth $100K, or got their players eligible with completely phony, non-existent courses or paid $200K for some recruits (like Louisville, USC, UNC, Georgia & Auburn did)
then just maybe NCAA would have come down easy.......yeah - right....

Don't know what those other guys did, nor do I care. All I know DV should not have been fired after a 32-3 season. I have to thank the players who stuck with the program after that fiasco and helped the Braves go back to the Big Dance 2 years later.
 
new revelations...
phone records obtained by Freedom of Information request
make it pretty darned hard to believe that the Louisville assistant coach, Andre McGee, who arranged
all the hookers to have sex with players & recruits - was acting alone and nobody else knew....
McGee called the other members of his coaching staff SO MUCH in that time interval,
that it is pretty hard to believe that nobody else on their coaching staff knew a thing about it as they claim...
DOZENS of calls per day were made to other coaching staff members....while he was arranging these prostitute hookups for the recruits...

The NCAA vacated Louisville's wins for the 2012 & 2013 season including their 2013 National Championship as a result of their investigation into Louisville's improper benefits scandal that included cash to players and wild parties with hookers assigned to entertain players and recruits.

Last month, a group of Louisville fans sued the NCAA demanding the reinstatement 123 vacated wins, including the National Championship.-
https://www.courier-journal.com/sto...ncaa-fan-lawsuit-no-legal-standing/733660002/

And now several players from that 2013 Louisville team are suing the NCAA, too, demanding the wins be reinstated and the National Championship restored to Louisville.
https://www.courier-journal.com/sto...players-sue-ncaa-2013-championship/771494002/

I have to think the University of Louisville would much rather this whole thing just go away, and these players and fans not drag it out for years with lawsuits. It would get really interesting and fun if it went all the way to a trial, and we got to see all the evidence the NCAA has and of the hookers and informants testifying to the lurid details of all the cheating that went on. Unfortunately, it is likely that one or both lawsuits will get thrown out (or settled) long before reaching trial stage.
