Pissing in the wind or what?

More self imposed sanctions today.

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/15146811/louisville-cardinals-self-impose-more-penalties-investigation-sex-scandal

The basketball team will lose two scholarships, one in 2017-18 and one in 2018-19, coaches will be docked 30 recruiting days, and the program will reduce the number of official visits it offers to recruits by two, one in 2016-17 and one in 2017-18.

A source said that the additional penalties do not stem from any new information but rather a natural progression as the university awaits a notice of allegations from the NCAA.

There's still alot going on right now before that decision has to be made. The school is making alot of bigtime self-imposed decisions that are just short of parting ways with Pitino. I don't believe he will be coaching there next year. If he does survive, he will be facing some big NCAA sanctions most likely.

Still ongoing and Pitino hyping his team. This saga is not over.

This thread is an interesting to go back and read for the off season.

Doubt we'll ever find out for sure, but if Pitino had any knowledge of what was going on, he didn't just throw McGee under the bus. He then got in and has been continuously driving the bus back and forth over him.

And today the governor removed the entire board of trustees and asked for the president's resignation.

I believe that John Calipari came out a few days ago and said point blank to the media that he thought most coaches would know if something like that (at Louisville) was happening on campus. Of course Calipari has a vested interested in helping the Louisville basketball program burn but I happen to think he's right.

He did say that and he is correct. Head Coaches of Division 1 basketball programs definitely know what's going on with their team on campus.

Most coaches would also know if their star player was suddenly swimming in tens of thousands in cash, or when someone is sent to take the SAT for a stud recruit..

Maybe he got his 15 sec in...and left.

Follow UNC's lead. Never self-report and lawyer up.

NCAA rejects U of L's defense of Pitino in recruiting sex scandal

Quote:

---

"If Pitino saw no red flags in connection with McGee's interactions with then prospective and current student athletes, it was because he was not looking for them," according to the report.

---

It also appears that the NCAA is shockingly not buying "U"L's argument that the infractions are not severe because the cost for the women was less than $100.

Quote:

---

"Put simply," the NCAA said, "arranging and funding sexual intercourse for a prospective student athlete on an official visit is a severe violation, wholly inconsistent with NCAA principles, whether valued at $80 or $120."

---

It's completely disgusting that Louisville is trying to pawn the entire thing off on a "former employee" and it was all done without anyone else knowing about it. I heard Pitino on Mike & Mike the morning that news broke and he essentially pulled the Captain Renault "I'm shocked, shocked! to learn my assistant was paying prostitutes to screw my players!' act with them. Of course gutless Mike & Mike let him get away with it and didn't call him on that. I think the worst part about UL's denial is that they think we are all so stupid that we would buy it.

I had completely forgotten about this.

Pitino knows everything going on with his players every single day. He could tell you what they eat each day. He knows what's happening within the program and for UL to support his claims is absolutely ridiculous.
