Louisville receives NOA...

[engie]

4 level 1's and a failure to monitor for Pitino(not the school failure to monitor which is a bigger deal)...

They self-imposed a postseason ban with a team that was a national title contender -- with half the number of extreme breaches of conduct -- that were in OM's INITIAL NOA. Also self-imposed 2 scholarships per year for 3 years.

I am sure their fans are thrilled with this great news.

But it's a witch hunt against Northern Miss!**

They're going to make an example of Freeze. He has embarrassed the SEC (and the NFL-Tunsil on DRAFT NIGHT) with what he has allowed to happen publicly and privately since Signing Day 2013.

Anyone want to guess Pitino's future?

 

[engie]

I think he's ok. Louisville is fighting his failure to monitor charge. The only point of contention for them in the NOA.

ETA: By "ok" I mean I think he survives it. Probably serves a suspension though I imagine.

He'll get a nine game suspension like Boeheim did

Then he'll come back, and by March, everyone will have forgotten that he was ever suspended.

Also self-imposed 2 scholarships per year for 3 years.

Out of how many total scholarships in basketball? 13? In football, that would be like self imposing 13 scholarships per year for 3 years....yet OM offered up 11 total scholarships spread over 3 years for 8 level ones? Yikes....that isn't going to do anything but piss the committee off.

Also self-imposed 2 scholarships per year for 3 years.

Have always been confused by this. In BB, teams are allowed 13 on scholarship in a given year. So, does "2 scholarships per year, for 3 years" mean a team will have:

1.) 11 players on scholarship total in years 1, 2 & 3.

2.) 11 players in year 1, 9 players in year 2 & 7 players on scholarship in year 3.
