    Cards and BB scandal

    Of course, once the FBI is done, then the IRS will take a turn, and possibly state authorities as well. Then comes the civil courts and lawsuits and counter suits. Whatever the outcome, there's a very long road ahead for everyone.

    Time for Professional Basketball in Louisville?

    When it comes to the NBA, fan base is very low on the priority list. They look at Corporate Partners/Sales, Facilities, and TV Market. While the Louisville Market could potentially sustain a team (see OKC), there is a quest on corporate sponsorship/interest. I just don't see it happening.

    Coach 2

    The problem is if it is Pitino, and I hope it's not... but if it is.. .then not only has he fooled everyone, but how deep does that rabbit hole go? How far do we dig? Because if it is him, can anyone believe it is an isolated incident? Who else did he pay? How far back does it go. His ENTIRE...

    The Banner is gone.

    http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/488/179.html This is NCAA v. TARKANIAN (1988). Not exactly the same thing, can be used as precedent. They key part is that the NCAA and their Infraction Committee is within their rights to levy punishment. Generally speaking, courts won't intervene in...

    He just got a shoe deal too! Putting numbers AND pulling them down.

    Elements of a failed out-of-court settlement mean nothing to a judge...

    Par for the course. Insult, move the goalposts, change topics... standard formula. When in doubt, throw in a few straw men.

    Elements of a failed out-of-court settlement mean nothing to a judge...

    Zipp, you keep saying this is unprecedented, but it's not. The NCAA has vacated wins and taken down banners in the past. The punishment isn't new. None of us know the final outcome, U of L still has appeals. I doubt it'll go to court, even if it does the onus is on the Cards. So the outcome...

    Elements of a failed out-of-court settlement mean nothing to a judge...

    Agreed. Level 1 vs Level 3 is the key, but I doubt U of L can win this argument. Even the NCAA own wording is open to interpretation in this matter. Again, that is not so. If we were transitioning between Civil and Criminal, yes. But since this is all Civil, and the University both admitted...

    Elements of a failed out-of-court settlement mean nothing to a judge...

    Back to the topic at hand, U of L is in a tough spot for several reasons: (1) Since this has been ruled as "impermissible benefits" (it doesn't matter the monetary value), those student athletes are ruled ineligible. (2) Since the players are ruled ineligible, those games are now forfeit. Not...

    Elements of a failed out-of-court settlement mean nothing to a judge...

    Ok, I'll play along. What "baggage" did I bring? What actions are "slappy"? There is no insult or critique of U of L. There was NOTHING about UK anywhere until you went there. My comments were about our hometown team the the current situation and legal considerations. Which was the topic at...

    If my mere presence bothers you so much, feel free to use the ignore feature. But let the record show the only one throwing around insults or bring up UK here is you. You'll also find that I have NEVER disparaged the Cards. I'm a local. I'm a fan. And my identity consists of more than which...

    Elements of a failed out-of-court settlement mean nothing to a judge...

    I've never claimed to be anything I'm not. I don't participate often anymore because of work responsibility but I lurk here and there. I also prefer conversations where there are multiple points of view. Your search efforts will also show me as a member of this board for years, and no other...

    Elements of a failed out-of-court settlement mean nothing to a judge...

    Really Kevin? Childish name calling? I guess if you have nothing productive to add to the conversation you can always resort to your tired diatribes. However I'm more interested in response of the University and the legal aspects. As far as "our" ... yes. As a local, as a city taxpayer, and as...

    What if UofL simply refused to take down the banner?

    And rightfully so.

    What if UofL simply refused to take down the banner?

    That was the first thought I had also. The Infractions committee made a stink. Same goes to the banner. Assuming the NCAA vacates the Championship, U of L cannot officially recognize it. We saw this with Michigan and the Final Four. If the University didn't comply, there could be further...
