Louisville fans are still in denial about this. They're saying that maybe somebody paid Lyle to lie and that it's payback for taking his scholarship away when he decommited.

Ha, saw that. That KerryRhoads dude is a piece of work.

Lyles: I'm decommitting
Pitino: Ok well I'm yanking the offer

KR: Lyles is getting revenge for having his scholly yanked.

Dirtybird logic 101.

What makes this crazy story so compelling is its sticking potential. Most sex scandals--say involving a politician and a mistress--are more about betrayal of public trust and the possible breakdown of a marriage. The consequences are rarely legal because there is nothing illegal about having an affair, except for that it may influence rulings in a divorce settlement, seeing as how it violates a relational contract of sorts. They are in the news for awhile and then the public's attention moves elsewhere.

The Louisville Basketball Sex Scandal goes beyond the merely shameful and embarrassing and encompasses elements of illegality, including potential statutory rape and several other violations already mentioned in this thread. Further, if the NCAA finds reasonable evidence to support even some of the claims made in the book, there is no way they cannot act. The public's attention will stoke the story and compel the NCAA to move--if for no other reason than to manage the PR nightmare that would come if they did nothing.

One final point: The Louisville fans claiming this to be unsubstantiated or hearsay would not appear to understand the meaning/implications of this term. The allegations made in the book are not hearsay so much as they are potential testimony with verifiable witnesses also willing to testify. Further, the NCAA (or a jury for that matter) does not need a smoking gun. They just need compelling plausibility or "reasonable certainty." As a psychologist, for example, I know that there is no way that a mental health professional can attest with 100% certainty to the sanity or insanity of a defendant, or to the suicide potential of a patient. NOBODY can ever prove something to be true with 100% certainty in a legal setting nor perfectly predict something that will happen. Card fans that keep referencing "proof" are failing to see this.

Why is Blakeney screwed? No one has any clue what he's said to the NCAA, which very well could be exactly what Lyle told them.

I meant screwed as in pressure to do the right thing with the NCAA. If he says what Lyle said, it is major upon major.

Can't they both lie about the situation, play 1 year of college, and then off to the Pros with no ramifications if it comes out later they were lying?

I guess the schools might face punishment on down the road.

With this point is why the NCAA will find out the truth, because they can hold eligibility over their head. Also the NCAA can interview all the the players that recently transfered from UL.

Exactly. The recruits are the only ones with a negotiable position. The NCAA knows this, which is why theyll have the motivation to cooperate.

OH-OH

Ex-Louisville recruit JaQuan Lyle ‘told the truth’ to NCAA while confirming allegations, a source told @CBSSports. http://cbsprt.co/1N1HE9H





Its over now.

Seems I remember a unc player admitting he never went to class too. The Fat lady hasn't sung yet and a whole lot of bad things are being made not so bad lately. We shall see...What should happen and what will happen ....

Ya but UL aint the golden boy that UNC is.

Even the nuttier UK fans have to admit not all this can be true. We're taking the word of a street walker who would be willing to pimp out her own daughters. There's no length this woman is probably willing to go. With that being said, I'm not going to act like none of this happened. I'm sure this chick shook her thing, posing as a possible girlfriend using words to entrap Andre to use later. This was probably the plan all along. Andre is probably just guilty of being too naive.

Where is Cockroach1986 today? Must be too hard to spout that crap any longer.

LOL all the spin jobs the UL fans are doing on scout board...now it's Lyle loved IU but UL got him to transfer high schools and that made IU angry.

Oh, and that Lyle committed to a couple different schools so what's his word mean anyway. LOLOLOLOLOL

This is epic.

Can we get this thread merged with the other one? We are wasting precious pages that could be getting the other thread closer to 100 pages. Not to mention, one thread devoted to that **** hole of a university is more than enough.

I will gladly offer myself to drive from western ky. to pick up zipp, drive to the bridge, and open the door for him.

There is still a really sad part in all of this. You do realize since this story came out no one is talking about how much their football team is sucking this year right? All the heat is off of Petrino but then again they are a women's basketball school.

Well Kerry Rhodes needs to be answered with UL is paying its players to deny the allegations.

So now UK, IU and now OSU are all in cahoots to bury Louisville. Jeebus, talk about daddy's little princess syndrome. No Kerry, the world doesn't revolve around you. Now shut up and take off that tiara

Just wait until the NCAA is on campus. A lot of times they come in to hammer one program, but end up finding other malfeasance within other teams.
