    What?????--Book alleges UofL used escort services

    Gotta give Rick credit... In both sex scandals, he has successfully pivoted the narrative to make himself the victim, when in both cases he or his institution was the perpetrator.

    Content of UL NOA

    The NCAA is going to have a tough call to make if 2013 players were involved, which it sounds like they were.

    Ricky P Says No More Penalties ..HONEST !!!

    Rick's public pronouncements that the investigation is over probably don't help UL's overall cause with the NCAA.

    IRS auditing UofSmell

    This seems unusual. Most of the coaches' compensation presumably comes from sources outside of the institution, yet they themselves are do not appear to be the object of the audit. Might relate to tax gross-up payments from UL. Interested in opinion from someone with legal/ tax background.

    Louisville NOA

    Disagree. I think they will hammer Louisville to show they still have power over the institutions. Plus, the sordid, criminal nature of the UL story makes it really difficult for the NCAA to be "soft"

    North Carolina Scandal Etc

    This could put more pressure on the NCAA to hammer Louisville.

    Pitino Lying Again...

    I think all of Pitino's public comments are carefully orchestrated to position himself for the $50M buyout. The more he talks, the more he risks antagonizing the NCAA investigators, which hurts UL.more than himself personally. He is building leverage against his employer.

    Prognostication on when the NCAA will lay down the hammer....

    Re: UNC - school and athletic administrators violated institutional academic integrity. Re: UL- coach(es) committed a felony to lure recruits. Both are serious NCAA violations; but you can argue UL's is worse due to its unlawful nature.

    If Jay Wright keeps it up... would he be a candidate...

    Wright will be at the top of UL's list if they part ways with Pitino.

    UL-----OTL-----Ruh-Roh

    The NCAA is interviewing Blakeney tomorrow for a 2nd time. The Blakeney sex show was the one arranged by McGee when he was at UMKC. This might be the key to identifying coach Mike. Someone at UL had to let Blakeney know that entertainment was showing up at his hotel.

    UL-----OTL-----Ruh-Roh

    McGee could likely cut some type of immunity deal with the NCAA in return for providing the smoking gun that buries Pitino and the UL program. But, McGee's attorney is a huge UL supporter whose interests are much more aligned with UL than McGee. Would not be shocking if UL money source is...

    What?????--Book alleges UofL used escort services

    David Padgett, who is married to the daughter of Pitino's best buddy Ron Carmicle, was promoted to assistant coach minutes after UL's last game of the season at UVA. It is unheard of to make such a promotion so soon after the end of the season, particularly with such uncertainty about the future...

    Powell to Meet Monday With NCAA for second time

    All joking aside, federal and state laws were broken by a member of the UL coaching staff for the sole purpose of recruiting student athletes to the basketball program. That fact alone makes this one of the most serious and potentially damaging cases in NCAA history.
