Banner and 2 Final Fours, 123 wins. And North Carolina got nothing. Bullsh*t
NCAA uphold all penalties
- Thread starter nookam
- Start date
What's worse is that posthole is just going to let it go. Thanks smrt - you effing *******. Even more rationale to have not fired TJ or Pitino.
Well of course he's going to just let it go. I have been convinced since the start that this 'new' BOT and President does not have UofL's athletic department's best interest in mind. The only thing I see unfolding is the continued destruction of the basketball program.
Whoomp there it is. It's over. Time to move on. Still keeping my 2012 and 2013 stuff tho. 
We are reaping the benefits of Pitino and his lack of oversight.
The bright side of this:
1) It's over
2) Removal of the banner is an emotional penalty and yes it sucks. But, the games happened and everyone saw them. We won those games, including the 2013 title. Louisville won the 2013 national championship.
3) Removing the title/wins is an emotional penalty. The only tangible penalty is the financial one, which Postel just stated was in the range of $600k. That is not small news since we've heard $15MM floated out there. I don't know if $15MM is a program killer, but it certainly would have hindered hiring a homerun coach if CDP isn't kept after this season plays out. Postel said it's definitely under $1MM. Going forward, that is huge, and it should not be understated.

All Louisville fans should wear their 2012 Final Four and 2013 title tshirts to every home game. Stick it to NCAA.
Time to sue...sue the NCAA TO KEEP THE TITLE. POSTEL IS SHOWING HIS TRUE COLORS AND MUST GO!!!
This^^.
We all know who the National Champion was. Even Runner up Michigan and coach Belein already said they don’t want anything to do with being named 2013 Champion.
So much for that. My question going forward is does the NCAA now use the Bowen situation to shut down the program?
Suing would only cost the school money, make the NCAA more annoyed with the program and in the end the judge would say the NCAA can take away titles of their organization if they see fit to. It is their league and they can do what they want.
I hope that sleaze never steps foot in the state of Kentucky again.
Nope....Im telling you right now, and keep this post to come back on.....nothing is happening to UL regarding the FBI probe. Nothing.
Its over, done, we can move on now.
Whatever. Fans like you are the reason why a governor can get away appointing pro uk BOT,Pres and AD. Bend over spead cheeks and not request vasoline.
Notice today was the first time I've seen that POS wearing any UofL colors. Bet he was giddy as hell.
Oh, hell! Blame whoever you want. But at the end of the day this belongs to Pitino, Jurich and Ramsey! Remember what Jurich was hired for? He fired Crume and Cooper! He promised to run the cleanest ship in the NCAA! Well, how did that turnout, Pitino, Jurich and Ramsey worshipers? Postel and the new BOT, did what had to be done. They had plenty of cause to fire those sons of bitches!
We are reaping the "benefits" of grissom's merry band of dickheads and their effed up leadership. No one - including those ******** - says that Pitino knew about McGee's actions.
We knew the appeal was very likely to be denied. We did the crime; we can no longer avoid doing the "time". It's time to move forward. The present and future is largely unaffected. Time to move toward brighter days.
Dukes - Pitino gave the kids bad examples with the Karen Sypher mess. Monkey see monkey do.
We won the title. Great entertainment. I experienced the joy of it. So, aside from any financial penalties or future restrictions, who cares.
Oh, so you say the championship is no longer in the "official record book"? I don't care - not really. It certainly doesn't bother me.
It's a joke that UK fans think this is devastating to most of our fan base. They can't understand that we're not like them. We have our own lives and accomplishments. We don't have to live vicariously through the successes of a college basketball team. It's just entertainment.

It's over. Time to stop lighting money on fire by throwing it at this sinkhole. Use the money to hire a homerun coach if the season plays out to where CDP isn't retained.
Pitino was so overpaid based on his actual production its not even funny. The reality is he was paid so much because the program was generating massive amounts of cash which Jurich could use to build up our other programs. That put the blinders on Jurich to the dangers of how Pitino was managing the program. Pitino did whatever he wanted and unfortunately a great AD enabled him because of money. It is just sickening to think about where we are headed now thanks to Pitino and the fools he brought in here.
Thiis little tidbit is why this went THIS way. I am convinced the NCAA and UofL worked together to come up with this result in order to save themselves millions of dollars owed to Pitino.
Pitino also sued the University of Louisville Athletics Association for breach of contract in federal court on Nov. 30. His lawyers claimed the school wrongfully suspended and then fired him and argued that he is owed $38.7 million for the remainder of his contract through 2026.
The University filed a countersuit against Pitino on Dec. 13 for "wrongful conduct" and argued that he is financially responsible for damages caused by the recent scandals. The federal complaint requests that Pitino repay monetary losses that might arise from vacated games and bonuses.
Anyone can read between the lines on this one.

We personally can keep our memorabilia and the memories of winning the 2013 NC but the fact remains as of today, U of L has only won 2 NC in basketball, 1980 and 1986.
Good point. Can't find anyone in this entire thread who is bothered by the NCAA's decision.
I realize it's just semantics, but I don't see it that way. We DID win the 2013 NC, THEN we had it stripped. That's different, in my mind anyways, in not having won it at all. JMO.
The lawsuits were filed after the appeal was presented, and if you think for one second the new president didn't talk to the NCAA about this crap after the counter lawsuit was filed then you are very naive on how things work out there behind the scenes.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but the penalties from that may not be harsh. Bowen never played 1 game for Louisville, and apparently he's eligible because he's at South Carolina. Jurich and Pitino were immediately fired. Apparently 30 programs are involved and they're all top programs. What's the NCAA going to do, keep every blue blood out of the tournament for 5 years? THey would never do that.
Again folks, the only tangible thing from today is the $600k penalty. While that sucks, it's not $15MM that had been previously quoted. Also, today's ruling certainly shows that UofL had "cause" to fire Rick so that hurts his case against UofL. If 123 vacated wins, 2 vacated Final Fours, and 1 vacated title aren't "cause," I don't know what is. The program endures and lives on.
Well, we can fight and say ugly things to and about each other or we can mam up and move forward to the rebuilding our future program. A wise person learns from pass failures and builds a better future. In my eyes, I see no other option.
Yet we still don't know who paid for all the Powell services, or who the Barber shop guy was, or who Coach Mike was, or what Andre Mcgee had to say who was involved.
My gut tells me this is all tied to the present relating to the NBA to Louisville people. Hatchet man Tyra is leading the way!
Speaking of Tyra, his calling card isn't athletics, it's to be a hired gun to go in and cut fat and resistence for his benefactors.
They fired Denny Crum and Griffith from the CAF/ULAA as ambassadors with no explanation despite them raising more money for UofL than UofL ever gave them for the gig.
Jurich was shown the door out of convenience due to the fabricated circumstances of the FBI probe.
Instantaneously you create a power vaccum, loyalist and their money cecede, no one is really in charge, and we all know Frankfort, UofK affiliates, and anyone else that could calm harm to UofL are along for the joy ride.

How in world can you put the decision by the Appeals Committee on Grissom or “his band of dickheads”?
