Louisville Basketball May Be Getting Hit Again

[CATHYnKY]

I agree there is more than what the public has seen. One would hope there has been some privacy. But....my tell tale, was when UL banned itself from post season play when they were doing so well. Why do that if things were not all that bad. UL might have won the ACC and do well in post season play. Schools get stripped of titles, but....the fans still enjoyed it and vendors, sports' bars etc., made lots of $$$$$.

It was obvious from the very beginning that there was something there.

There were too many witnesses, too many people involved for there not to be. They took the postseason ban for the same reason a lot of schools have done it in the past. But some of these schools (Syracuse) have still faced other restrictions.

IMO Pitino will be suspended for some games next year. If there's more to this and the NCAA can prove that coaches knew, then Pitino may get a full-year suspension. If that happens I highly doubt he's at UofL next year.

I'm torn about it. I still think it's a shame that Pitino, as great as he is, would go out this way. And I have a hard time gloating too much, because it would be terrible--unbelievably godawful--for something like that to happen here.

I agree. I have some UL fans who cut on the Cats every chance they get. When Louisville kept themselves out of the tourneys, I had fun with it for a day or two then I just stopped. I didn't want to be one of THOSE kind of fans.

Will, I will put this bit of info out there for you. It was absolutely not one rogue coach trying to do something to get recruits without having anybody else in the loop.

From what ive been told by someone i believe would know....No less than 3 different assistants/bball ops persons, at different times, were responsible for setting up the deals for the parties.

Uh oh! Now that is a juicy one. If proven true, would/should be the nail in Louisville's coffin. I thought it would've been hard because with McGee quitting. This is definitely a game changer. Oh boy...

There is TONS more to this than has been made public by any party involved.

I have THREE very good sources on this situation and many other sources on the parameters of the drama.

If half of what they told me happened actually happened in this case people are going to be amazed.

I have no reason to believe my sources are not accurate about their info on the matter. If anyone would like to know what I have been told I'll be glad to.post it on here.

Oooooooooh this sounds juicy. I say spill it lol

Goodness gracious. If true, they are going to burn. Can't say that I'm upset, in all honesty.

WAVE-3 said it was another interview with Katina Powell...didn't say anything regardlng any new information

[CATHYnKY]

This keeps getting worse and worse. The suspense is killing me....... Wonder how long before we know the truth and nothing but the truth. And, what the NCAA will do as far as punishment.

Per Rick Bozich, this is all new material. Can't imagine being any worse than it already is.

We're talking about the woman who tossed out the term "squirt to the ceiling" as casually as you or I might comment on the weather.

It can get worse.

[Blue Heaven]

I know it can and will. Why are my Cardinal buddies talking about football? Come back my friends. I miss you.

OUCH......this could get interesting

Matt Jones just repeated this same thing on his show. First time I've heard him say it publicly. Guess word is getting out

Pitino and the NCAA will finally have a sit-down in April.
