Ineligible players automatically wipes out wins and titles. What argument will UL use to get their banner back? The severity of the incidents with under age kids on top of that. It still astounds me how little Pitino and Jurich care about what they did to those kids and why they think they can give benefits to recruits and get off lightly. They should be getting crucified for their attitudes. Where is the media?

2. Easy to say in hindsight, but Louisville misses the forest for the trees. First, it agrees that on 37 occasions sex acts/dances/etc. were given to 20 different individuals. At that point, should’ve just said, “tell us what you want”. But it fights instead. Fights about Katrina Powell’s credibility – you’ve already admitted the acts occurred, why do this? Fights about dollars and cents. The NCAA says a particular act cost $200, Louisville goes to some lengths to prove it was only worth $180. Just stupid. Reminds me of how a teenager protests when they get in trouble – arguing minutia and missing the obvious big picture.
Heh. Good analogy.

A kid has a curfew of 11pm.
Parents: "you didn't get home until 4:30 in the morning!!! You're grounded for 2 weeks!"

Kid: "actually it was only 4:19."

What does he expect?

"Point taken. We'll just make it a week"

Thanks for taking the time to go thru that mess and give an update to everyone.
Couple things that stood out to me the NCAA had to find interesting.
In his interview, Pitino stated he knew nothing of all this mainly because he delegated all responsibility of checking on the players, recruits and such to his assistants.
In separate interviews with each assistant, each one stated they did not know of this responsibility being given to them.
I find that very interesting. Proves somebody is lying, just who.
Another one that I found interesting was a recruit testified that after a long night of partying with the women, the next day he stated "the assistant coaches blamed their bad practice on the partying the players did the night before".
Again, why would this recruit say something about the assistant knowing about the partying if not true. If so, then people close to the head coach knew about all this.
Personally, I feel UL is behind the Commonwealth's Attorney backing off going after the Powell lady and McGee. Sure seems somebody doesn't want them talking, especially McGee.
But on a brighter note, I sure enjoy riding thru campus working these days with my UK plates and stickers on the work trucks.

#1 sounds like the NCAA is wanting ul to admit which players were involved
no doubt the NCAA already knows, just wanting that admission from ul
They may feel that there are more and are giving UL a chance to confirm ALL players involved, or else upon proof there could be additional sanctions. It's the only reason I could see them even ask the question.
