So Powell was approached or contacted by "someone" other than Mcgee requesting white girls for the next party and that didn't sit well with her? Gotta hand it to her for standing her ground. It would have been easy to just outsource.
As i look over this book called.Breaking the cardinal rules:basketball and the Escort queen...On amazon i was looking over a free sample.....it started off with this...("I felt like I was part of the recruitment team. A lot of them players went to Louisville because of me.)...what i seem in the sample reading she doesnt mention no names but said something that caught my eye...(it wasnt just players and recruits that enjoy this kind of entertainment .so did some of the fathers).
she also mentions the name of the place where it happen at..(BILLY MINARDI HALL)...there alot more but nothing to mention
Meiners used to kiss ESCORtino ***..maybe he's trying to get in UK good gracesDidn't Miners get taken off the air for not toeing the line once? He may be enjoying this.
not surprising, but still unreal.Katina Powell says she tried to give the story to the NCAA, but they brushed her off.

That will go over like a pregnant pole vaulter.Just wanted to say: Matt Jones has become the national voice of UK fans...and I'm totally OK with that. He's educated/articulate and yet true Blue passionate like Redneck Hillbillies like me.
it's all about ambiance.Rick pitino has the money to rent a hotel room. Why pork her on a restaurant table?
Oh yeah, my buddy tried that spin as well...My buddy came by yesterday for a visit, yea he is a tard fan. I started the conversation about the obvious, me knowing there would be a spin coming and on que there it was....."all schools are doing it"..he is really a good guy even though he fits that fan base to a "t"..It's like they are mass produced from one single chromosome..."Stepford Fans"
Re: "why do they need hookers? They could get it free, etc."
As a few above pointed out, logic doesn't work in this situation. Most of those guys could get laid whenever they wanted to, most likely. Maybe by some hood rats, but still free booty was there.
I think it was the idea that it was much more gangsta to party with hookers. I'm sure Chane just ate it up. Smoking weed, hookers, etc. Living out this ridiculous image of some kind of gangster.
Chane= D-League Tupac.
Edit: To clarify, I meant the rationale of some of the UofL players, not the recruits. As others have pointed out, for the recruits it was free booty just throwing itself at you on a recruiting visit. Those that were truly L1C4 were the recruits that were down to party with some hookers. It was a good way for Pitino, either directly or through his minions, to get the right fit for the culture he was creating at Louisville.

Katina, KAT-ina, KAT? Coincidence? I think not. I think this is God's way of saying, "you're welcome."
NCAA will take the heat off of University of North Carolina anyway they can & U of L is right there for the picking.
yup, they told her to come fill out some forms and she replied "_____ please"Take a think fella's, realize how many phone calls the NCAA receives from rival fans trying to sling mud. How many times has a dirty bird fan tried to drop a dime on UK for some imaginary offense?
She talked to an operator at a switchboard, basically. Probably an answering service.
i can envision karen in her cell torturing her r3stacks and turtlenecktom voodoo dolls.I think sypher might be ghost writing the book as well lol
I don't believe that everyone is paying prostitutes and providing them along with alcohol to underage recruits AND their fathers...It is true that everyone is doing it. That doesn't make it an excuse though and they clearly need to be a little smarter than what they did. But, it happens everywhere.
Good Lord, man.It is true that everyone is doing it. That doesn't make it an excuse though and they clearly need to be a little smarter than what they did. But, it happens everywhere.
suddenly the much revered forde is a hated man in davill:Just saw where Forde did a podcast and said that this could cost Pitino his job. Like rats off a sinking ship when Pat starts to abandon Rick. Prediction: This is just the tip of the iceberg. For Forde to criticize U of L, more crap is gonna hit the fan.
Lol I have no idea what happens at Kansas. And no, its not that bad, but you are delusional if you don't think schools provide women and parties for players.Good Lord, man.
"Everybody" is providing their recruits with underage prostitutes, drugs and alcohol during their on-campus visits?!?
It clearly happens at UL, and based on your post, I guess maybe at Kansas, but everybody is most assuredly not doing that.
I agree with this, and this statement is more what I was trying to say, but clearly didn't put it as well as I wanted.I don't believe that everyone is paying prostitutes and providing them along with alcohol to underage recruits AND their fathers...
I believe that there are several places do things similar to what UT did...
