I think we're here just trying to defend Louisville. I remember when the Bledsoe stuff happened, there were hoards of UK fans on our board defending their school to what they thought were false allegations. We're just doing the same thing. I can't say definitively it didn't happen but the story this woman is throwing out has so many holes in it, if it were cheese I would put it on a sandwich.
You come over here wanting to have a conversation after running back to your board and talking about how UK is dirty and talking **** about Skal's eligibility? GTF outta here troll

Yeah he lied about him being there, still, it's nowhere near as widespread. The skankening at UofLol*** seems to be a systematic recruiting advantage (granted doesn't seem to have helped much) over years. Not an isolated incident.

Not to change the subject, but you need more research on Pearl.

In terms of social/legal implications, the Sandusky case was way worse.

No, the Sandusky/Penn State case is worse because of the moral implications. I shudder each time I see another example of misunderstanding the distinction between morality and society (moral vs. social). Whichever matter is worse on the basis of legal implications would be determined by a number of considerations, possibly to include the the frequency of offenses, and the number of persons involved in committing those offenses, the number of victims, etc. etc. etc.

In terms of social implications, what does that mean exactly and how is that measured please? Serious question and I'm not trying to put you on the spot. If you mean to imply that the University of Louisville could be held into account for an egregious act for victimizing 17-18 year old "kids" from disadvantaged backgrounds then I would agree with that and I would even consider that process to be systematically racist on their part, as it would (possibly) indicate a willingness to victimize black "kids" and not white ones. I think at this point it is absolutely crucial that it be determined if the white UofL recruits were ever exposed to this process. If not, then why the hell not? Why would the University of Louisville promote the delinquency of only the black recruits / "kids" by exposing only THEM to prostitution and not also the white recruits?

has this gone beyond a UK/UL thing? I mean I'm sure when the announcement was made there was a blip on ESPN somewhere and then the OTL thing which was 30 minutes of "*IF* they did it scenarios with conjecture about security cameras and who knew what when.

but I'm not really seeing much discussion about this beyond the six degrees of UK/UL fansite connections in the links provided.

I get the whole child prostitute thing is horrible and should be addressed, but setting that aside, I kind of get the feeling that most of the nation is like "I'm supposed to care that a school got girls for recruits? Show me more pictures of hot teachers who screwed their 17 year old students"

then again maybe I'm just projecting my personal reaction to it. I am enjoying the angst shown by UL fans to the point they feel compelled to create new user names and come over here to defend their program's integrity knowing they have two coaches that have been involved in highly publicized extra marital affairs. Talk about fighting the uphill battle.

I get the New York Times, and it was inside their paper. As well as other such as Huffington Post, etc. This is big news, and will snowball for sure.

Pitino already admitted it was true during his press conference.

Pitino was just on the radio and said that only Andre McGee knows if this scandal happened or not and he is not talking. Sounds like McGee is being sacrificed to try to save the program from penalties.

What a bunch of crap. The former players know if they had sex with the whores or not. If you showed me a picture of a girl, I could tell you if I had sex with her or not.

This is exactly what I called a couple of days ago.....this is really the only thing they can do to try to save face and keep from having their title stripped!

No they wouldn't, she barely has anything. It isn't worth the time in the headlines or risk of ridiculous attorney fees. Getting a judgment against someone is pretty easy. Getting your money is the tough part.

This, and the fact they do not want any of their people testifying just in case....

Keep in mind rivals said the same about us over the AD 200k story.

I think it depends on this season. If they lose 10-12 games then suddenly the shine goes off Pitino.
That's a good point. If they are in for a rebuilding - regardless of the fallout of this scandal, as I've suspected for a while - once that reality sets in, coupled with the fact that he's in his mid 60s now.....you could see a situation where the fan base loses patience, says let's move on to the next guy, we're going to be doing it soon enough anyway.

Now, Jurich isn't likely to be swayed by that, at least in the beginning. See Kragthorpe. But at his age, the fans could turn on him....

something like this happening at UK wouldn't shake my fandom

but you're kidding yourself if you don't think there wouldn't be a significant % of our fanbase acting just like Louisville fans are right now.

Just go back to those that supported Eddie Sutton and were pissed that Roselle cooperated with the NCAA (and probably saved us from the death penalty).

Not sure what you mean. Been a long time lurker with UL sports and this whole "scandal" and reading all the craziness not just here but on our board has forced me to comment and post. So I created a an account. I don't believe 3/4 of what this woman is saying and really no one should.

So say you....I actually believe more than 4/5 of what she said.....she has proof!

Let me ask a question, if this happened at Kentucky would it shake your fandom?

I have to ask because Sunday I was at the Zoo for their Halloween festivities and saw several people wearing Louisville shirts, I myself would be too disgusted to where my blue in public. I then noticed several kids who where dressed as players from lil' brothel and I was thoroughly disgusted that parents would let them in public in that get up.

Until this is resolved and the administration fired I would hide and only watch games by myself.
I would still be a fan..but they would have to clean house..there is no way our boosters would put up with this nonsense. Then again, we would have canned pitino with his dreadful record his first 7 yrs at uofl when the sypher ordeal happened. They won't though bc it's their culture..Sleaze and win at all costs. Jurich is like a drug lord in south america...the locals love him bc he builds playgrounds and community centers, they turn a blind eye to the murders as a result of pounds of cocaine.

His latest contract runs until 2025/2026 and is worth at least fifty one million. No way he walks away quietly without that being paid. Even for UL not sure they can find a booster willing to pay it .also it would be hard to justify paying it out of the foundation money.

Unless it can be shown the termination is for cause they are stuck with him. No other top program would want him at his age with his baggage.

Ul fans can say they love Rick but every time I'm out watching games they are screaming about the lack of offense and how boring their games are to watch. The '12 & '13 seasons saved him from the fans turning on him back then but the call-ins were gold.
This is so true. Hell, ul was ready to send him packing during the 12 season, but they then went on the FF run. Even on of my diehard ul friends said that it's time for the pitino experiment to end during that season, which I like to bring up to him from time to time. Of course he denies saying that, but that's just him being a Louisville man.

Lol. The only holes I see involved are the ones your coaching staff paid for recruits and players to use. I don't give two ***** whether any of your commuter school's fans believe any of it. The proof is there and you bird brains chose to ignore it. Let me clue you in on a little fact- simply saying it didn't happen isn't a defense. Can your pea size brain grasp that concept? I've practiced criminal law 25 years and I can assure you no one has ever had a case dismissed by saying "I didn't do it". That cesspool you call a "college" is in deep trouble. Whether you or any other fan of "the Villle" wants to believe it is completely irrelevant.

We're both saying the same thing, just using different words. I used social rather than moral, because in my view social views shape morality. Homosexuality and Marijuana are two prime examples of things consider highly immoral years past, now not.

Of course morality also exists on the individual level. Its a very complex topic in and of itself. But we were saying the same thing.

This, and the fact they do not want any of their people testifying just in case....

Maybe. But that was an anonymous quote from one anonymous source. This is the exact opposite.

Your "lighten up francis" is old and cliche. You like others "you can't stand the truth." Another old and cliche saying.

If you read the thread, you would see some Did say things against me. Like you. (internet bullying)

I seriously hope you are joking, because if serious, the internet is not for you.

There's a part of all this that just doesn't mesh. Katina Powell was supposed insulted by the request for "clean, white girls" from someone other than McGee. But, how could someone who is pimping out her daughters be insulted so badly by what (I assume) is probably not an uncommon request in such a sleazy line of work? Are we to believe that she's OK with pimping out her kids from a very early age but, someone asking her to supply white girls for a party is a breach of hooker etiquette? Yeah, I know Katina is black and so are her daughters. But, for someone who seems to be solely motivated by money and possibly fame, it seems like race would be an odd point to draw a line.

We've been told that McGee and Katina had a "falling out" at some point. The reason being given was the "white girls" request but, again I can't see that. There has to be more to all of this. Something caused Katina to suddenly abandon UofL, Andre McGee and a good source of income. Maybe word was getting out about the parties and McGee shut it all down and that pi$$ed Katina off? Maybe Katina felt like she was doing such a valuable service to UofL that she wanted more money or more parties and McGee couldn't make it happen?
Whatever it was, it was enough to make her start trying to tell her story. First to the NCAA and then to this Cady and the IBJ. I just feel like there's some important info missing.

Okay, that's your opinion. The internet you want is hateful while trying to be funny. My internet communicates with others in a civil manner. (Bully you)
That is my opinion and I don't need some rolling graphic to express it.
