Louisville's Woes Continue
I didn't see this updated about the latest in regards to the Louisville scandal. Since this could have a very decisive outcome in regards to the 2013 National Championship that was decided by the refs, I thought this was releveant (enough) for the board.

The overview is that former recruit JaQuan Lyle, who was mentioned in the book, indeed confirmed to NCAA investigators that the gist of what was said in the book really happened.
Also local media (same media outlet as above) is also reporting that a former UL player says that strippers were present in the dorms at least one time.

Well they deserve it for being next in line.

I believe Jerry Tarkanian was the originator of this quip in the '80s, with Kentucky and Cleveland State as the teams.
October 8th, 2015 at 6:34 PM ^
If anyone has a right to bitch about selective enforcement, it's Tark. The NCAA was on him like a rottie on raw meat for having the nerve to succeed at UNLV.
October 8th, 2015 at 9:05 PM ^
5. “The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky it will probably slap another two years probation on Cleveland State.’’ Tarkanian uttered the famous quip after Kentucky and coach Eddie Sutton found themselves in the NCAA crosshairs. But the line has stood the test of time, emblematic of not only Tark’s battles with the organization but also of the long-held belief that the NCAA practices selective enforcement.

Right!? What's worse than a person who feels the need to explain their own jokes?
People who feel the need to explain other people's!!!

running practices in off season time.

This story is awesome, but my favorite part about it, by far, is the Kentucky fans pointing and laughing at Louisville when they have to know they're living on borrowed time before they finally get caught doing something similar.
October 8th, 2015 at 6:37 PM ^
Nope, they 100% believe that Cal is clean as a whistle. Hell half of them don't harbor any ill will against Pitinio because he brought them a NC.
October 8th, 2015 at 9:51 PM ^
October 9th, 2015 at 2:06 PM ^
Hey, glass houses are nearby here!
I harbor no ill will towards Steve Fisher for the Fab 5 - only for the Traylor/Taylor/Crawford era!
One was worth the trouble, one wasn't

Jurich/Petrino/Pitino are a 3-headed slime monster. Calipari certainly has a trail but same cannot be said for the AD Mitch Barnhart or HC Mark Stoops. Those guys have never been accused of impropriety and exhibit none of the dysfunction of the Louisville heirarchy.

Can't lock it if you keep double-posting!
I like how someone upvoted the double post too.... LMAO

woot woot

Condoms are for boys.
October 8th, 2015 at 6:22 PM ^
claims that fathers of some recruits were included?
October 8th, 2015 at 6:27 PM ^
October 8th, 2015 at 6:31 PM ^
Yes, some fathers were in on this as well.
October 8th, 2015 at 7:59 PM ^
So I guess it's "Don't forget a condom, Dad."

There's no implying of anything. There is a very real possibility that the title will be vacated if the NCAA feels that this is a big enough issue. Vacated titles have traditionally never gone to the runner up. However, since the officiating in that game was a complete farce and very suspect, it would be sweet justice for them to lose their title.

Maybe just an asterisk next to their name in the record books? :\

We paid our price on the Fab 5.
Let Louisville pay their price on the Fornication 5.
October 9th, 2015 at 1:58 AM ^
Treat it like the Cal-Stanford trophy and The Play from '82.
October 8th, 2015 at 9:06 PM ^
This would be the first title to be vacated. There's been a handful of runner-up and Final Four appearances, but no one has had to give a title back yet. This would be the ultimate black mark on a program.
October 8th, 2015 at 9:53 PM ^
October 8th, 2015 at 6:23 PM ^
But yeah, it'd feel weird to claim the championship and we'd probably get a lot of ridicule.
October 8th, 2015 at 8:31 PM ^
October 8th, 2015 at 6:13 PM ^
October 8th, 2015 at 6:28 PM ^
Vacated games are not forfeited - we wouldn't get credit for the title. Also, it's Crisler.
October 8th, 2015 at 7:08 PM ^
I'm not sure I would want to hang that stank banner in Chrisler.
He's saying he has more morals than Rick Pitino, and if he were Rick Pitino, he wouldn't, ehh...you know I've never seen the show myself.

Makes you wonder what Ohio State offered Lyle to get him to decommit from Louisville if hookers weren't enough
October 8th, 2015 at 6:16 PM ^
October 8th, 2015 at 7:06 PM ^
:) Nice
October 8th, 2015 at 7:43 PM ^
Are you saying somewhere there are hookers without tattoos?
Man, do I feel dumb.
