Makes sense - it's a commuter school, so they probably couldn't find any coeds on campus.
 
sounds like the former director of basketball operations is being set up as the fall guy. I'm sure Pitino will issue a statement suggesting that he had no idea this was happening and how disgusted he is by it.

Shut it down, figures after we finally get to play them.

Check out @ESPNAndyKatz's Tweet:

Looks like you barely have to wait for a statement - there's a 5:45 PM press conference with both Jurich and Pitino.
 
Tom Jurich saying at press conference that our associate AD contacted them about picture. Question was then asked if U of L feels Indiana turned them in and his answer was No Comment. Wow
Yeah, this is not the last we're going to hear about this.
 
Seems like a coordinated thing to throw IU into doubt here. Pitino now saying "the publisher's name is on the law school at IU."

That'd either be Maurer (in Bloomington) or McKinney (Indianapolis.)
 
Somehow, this initially off-topic thread went on-topic.

MTIOF, good luck dealing with the Louisville media for the next week - it's going to be talk of "IU snitches" for the foreseeable future.
 
I'm sure if Rick was involved they were only paying for the girls for 15 seconds or less. Even if they service the whole team twice, we're talking $20 in impermissible benefits here.

this kind of stuff has been going on for decades
there. I'd be surprised if these hoes weren't
travelling with their Cards to away games
to boost team morale.
 
All I know:

Any pics of this Powell chick? Her daughters? Her bottom bitch? Any of the alleged strippers?

Schrock needs to go to work on this.
 
I know a couple guys who played for Louisville in the not so distant past. Those dudes are like NBA players down there and have it made. This doesn't surprise me whatsoever and frankly, I don't care at all! My dad has friends who were heavily recruited in the early 70's and this stuff was going on then and forever will be
 
It would be fun to be on an official visit right now. "Hey, where are the hookers? I was told there would be hookers!"

JaQuan Lyle might have received an improper benefit during his UL visit. If true, it was effective since he gave them a verbal commitment to UL after his special visit. I should have seen this coming.

In another article, OSU say Lyle should not get in trouble with the NCAA as a result of anything UL is accused of doing. It is okay to get a hooker during a recruiting trip, but you get a suspension if your guardian gets some stickers from the Varsity Club?

IU was known for $100 handshakes in early 70's before Knight put a stop to it.

That is one I haven't heard.

Slick Leonard wrote in his book that Branch McCracken bought him a suit for his high school graduation because Leonard's family could not afford one. Slick had already committed to IU. It was still a violation even if it was a nice thing to do.

This is something I know quite a bit about considering my stepfather and his brother were the ringleaders.

My stepfather ended up being a good friend of Knights, although it was a love/hate relationship as is normal for RMK.

Maybe this is all a nefarious plot brought on by OSU. Aaron Craft was committed to Tennessee before he committed to OSU and ultimately helped bring Bruce Pearl down. Now a similar situation is playing out with JaQuan Lyle and Rick Pitino. Maybe Thad Matta is an evil genius.

And for any of you dolts who think I'm serious, I'm not.

Hmmmm, are you sure you're not serious?
