Yikes. It will be interesting to see how this shakes out

Shoes are big business, why these kids dont' get some kind of stipend still shows the antique nature of the NCAA

I'm curious though. You can't just give a stipend to football and basketball players. You'd have to give it to everyone one, correct? Wouldn't want people feeling left out even though no one gives a shit about their sport

This is another article that names Louisville and South Carolina. This one is going to get ugly, really ugly. If I were a kid playing for USC, Arizona, Louisville, South Carolina, Oklahoma State, or Auburn (just to name a few), I might be considering a transfer right about now. Stay tuned sports fans......

maybe this is why they are building the High Altitude Athletic Center so they have something and assistance somewhat as well

Pitino is on unpaid administrative leave - a nice way of saying he will be fired when the BOT meets October 18. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

They have already lost players. Auburn lost the #31 ESPN 100 recruit and Louisville has lost 2 in the #5 and #8 recruits in the country. They have 0 commits for the 2018 class, have only 1 for the 2019 and just lost a 5 star guard from consideration. This is especially bad for Louisville being a recent repeat offender. Auburn is refunding season ticket holders at their request as well (which was sold out for the season).

Heard this morning on the radio that Coach #2 will be named as Rick Pitino. This is REALLY bad for the NCAA and even worse for Louisville. opcorn:

Yes very bad for Louisville given the whole escort service ring one assistant was running under Pitino. Not too many schools would have kept Pitino on after that let alone this latest episode. Pat Forde advocated for the death penalty for Louisville. Also look for Petrino to be gone after the football season. Which begs the question if they (NCAA) does not axe Louisville's bball team over all their recent history, what would? I doubt that they would given what that did to SMU.

I won't be shocked if Louisville gets smacked and smacked hard. Would not be shocked to see them receive the death penalty as well as vacate all wins and titles under Pitino. I think they are going to be the sacrificial lamb. An example will be made.
