What?????--Book alleges UofL used escort services

Textbook Stages of grief.. Anger, denial, bargaining, depression, acceptance
Some things I have heard recently lead me to believe that the Chris Jones incident is the match that lit this powder keg.The process of covering that up brought this to light.UL has known about this much longer than the latter part of August.The water is pretty deep here.
I found it rather offensive that they would put that stuff on UK blue, even if it's meant to insult the Cards.
umm...what happened to keeping it Classy?
Some interesting details -
Dec 29 2012, after UofL's sole victory over UK, they felt a need to put on a big celebration, and from that night, there's a picture of a Chane, Siva, and McGee and some dark skinned recruit.
We actually beat UK for once! Round of hookers for everyone!
Also, this quote from the Louisville board is gold -
"Yeah, I know it's only teenagers having a little fun with ****** and shouldn't be that big of a deal, but in the eyes of the NCAA it's considered impermissible benefits, which we all know is a serious violation of the rules.
Might as well been giving recruits cash when it comes to facing NCAA penalties because according to NCAA bylaws, impermissible benefits are impermissible benefits. There are no distinctions between hookers, cars, cash etc..."
How good are they at rationalizing? They can convince themselves that this is less serious than giving cash to a kid. Wouldn't even be a big deal if not for the stupid NCAA, right?

So, it's not okay to trash UL and make fun of this, but it is okay for you to to call UK fans on this site low, small people with no class.
LOL!
Now this sounds like an argument from someone who can dish it out... but can't take it!
Best Wishes!
One of their new favorite lines of argumentation over there goes something like "well, we'll see how much of this is true once they contact the other players who didn't go to Louisville - they have no reason to lie. They probably wouldn't be ineligible at a different school."
I don't know if that's true or not, but isn't it motivation enough to not want to have your name attached to a PROSTITUTION SCANDAL? Forget eligibility concerns, just based on personal reputation, how would any recruit saying "no, it didn't happen" tell you anything? Of course they'll say that.

STFU, Pepsiman.
I'm guessing lots of kids are gonna be getting dragged to the Doctor's office by their parents for a battery of blood work. [sick]
****, I'm going to get tested Monday. You never know. I know a Cardinal fan 80 miles North of me in Florida. He probably has something. Best to avoid all ul fans now and treat them like the Ebola.
You want your families to be safe, right?
Good news is this happened at UL. A place with the most conscientious fan base ready to make sure the right people hear this. They all have NCAA on speed dial. :cop:
:cool2:

A friend of mine has been sending me excerpts from the book all day today. Some amazing evidence in this thing. I know Jones came out and said they will have to prove the texts came from Magee but this lady has record of everything that happened. She has financial records of how much is owed to her and by whom it is owed.
The guy who helped her with this book is a Pulitzer prize winning author. He is numerous awards for his investigative journalism. This isn't some slouch. Only thing that stinks is waiting for the legs on this to grow and grow and grow. I want UL to burn and burn now but God knows this will take forever.
The book explains that there are records of phone calls and text messages to Katina from McGee. I honestly don't know what Jones is talking about.

"The Celtics arrived here at about 6 a.m. Eastern time on Saturday, and Rozier told the Globe he was unaware of the book. When the basic accusations were relayed to him, he responded: “When it’s time to answer those questions and deal with that, I will. But right now I’m just trying to take in this moment with these guys out here and have a lot of fun with my teammates. So, like I said, when that time comes to answer that, I will.”

I would really like to get excited about this, but I just think they will skate before all is said and done. They'd much rather catch UK doing this, then things would happen.
haha....fun weekend. of course spending thou$and$ to furnish alcohol and ugly hookers to potential (mostly underage) recruits is not a big deal---at least not in davill. should be distinctions, of course.
Tell us, did you know about the escorts?
Was this picture given into evidence at the Sypher trial? Must have been time lapse photography.
Oh my. A big part of me still doubted this was true, but this seems quite damning...
Are you trying to sound like you're insane? Do you normally yell randomly in the middle of sentences?
This. You would think he would just deny it ever happened while he was there. What I'm hearing is, "Give me some time to fabricate a story, and I'll get back to you."
A copy of this ****** book needs to be put under glass in the central reading room of William T Young. It's like a prized Gutenberg Bible for our school.

Rozier is the guy who could blow this thing sky high. I have been saying since the NBA draft that Rozier is pissed off at Pitino and LilBro. As you may recall he did not even acknowledge UofL on draft night because he wore a jersey that said NBA Draft Combine (something along that lines) and not his UofL jersey. He was the only player the entire night who did so. And LilBro media tried to say that this was a shoe company decision...cover story....when that is a total fabrication. The other players drafted wore all the other shoe company shirts that night except Rozier.
I've had LilBro insiders tell me that Rozier and Trez hated Pitino and vice versa. Open contempt. And I have pointed to the shirt/draft incident of that rift. And today we have that answer from Rozier. Very interesting. Is Rozier getting ready to spill his guts against his old school to get at Pitino? I tend to think he wants something in return for his silence.
LilBro is the only program in the nation whose broadcasts will carry a rating of M for Mature Audiences only.
I would expect every player questioned to deny initially. I mean who wants the public to know they were involved in having sex with prostitutes. Now, if any of these players get questioned under oath and risk perjury it is a different story.
Imagine being a player's mom and knowing her kid is considering playing for Ricky 3 Stacks.......
Matt Jones saying more will come out in the next couple of days, and even UL fans won't be able to deny it then. [banana]
Tennessee fans making fun of Louisville right now. Talking about how they had Orange pride for decades full of willing college co-eds. They can't seem to understand why you'd need to pay prostitutes.[laughing]

Anyone thinking Louisville will skate on this didn't see the most interesting man in the world and his press conference. Rick is done, he was visibly shaken, humble, and concerned.
Jones seems to thing so as well. Would be anxious to know about the details to come out in the next couple of days. Are these details just things that have come out from the book (which anyone who has read will know)? Or are these details that no one knows about yet?
I think Rick has made lots of enemies with some former players, and I believe he is scared to death because he does't trust them to keep quiet. Like Lector said, Rozier for one.
Louisviile wouldn't concede what they did during those press conferences unless they knew it was over. It was all about softening the blow. Ricks own words - "I don't think the recruits came here for these women." - with proof and this admission that it was happening, banner gone.
