The entire athletic department is slime. Jurich is awful.Totally agree with DD. How the hell does Pitino still have a job? Tear down that banner Card fans. Corrupt program.
I don't know who DD is, but it's hard to understand why UL didn't either demand his resignation or fire him. Equally difficult to fathom why Pitino didn't resign and allow the University to move forward with a fresh start.Totally agree with DD. How the hell does Pitino still have a job?

If he was doing this at UofL just imagine what he was doing at UK in that culture of cheating.
It sounds like UL gets to decide if any ineligible player played on the Banner team and then will need to take the banner down if they say a player was ineligible.Totally agree with DD. How the hell does Pitino still have a job? Tear down that banner Card fans. Corrupt program.

I don't think Pitino knew about the "entertainers" and there was no evidence that even suggested he did, but he hired the guy who was responsible, and he should've fallen on his sword as a result.
You would think IU would do better with something like this, but they hired a guy with an active NCAA file and then waited months to fire him after they knew he was lying to them and still violating the rules, so there's no room for sanctimony or indignation. It's also funny how many people slam Jurich after hoping IU would hire him several years ago. Short memories and hypocritical standards.
It wasn't a slam on IU as much as a factual observation that most houses aren't nearly as tidy as their owner's claim. If you've really followed IU since '76, you would understand.It's pretty sweet you were able to so quickly turn this around as a slam on IU. Bravo!
You don't know who DD is? Sinner.

Ah, thanks. Assume he was talking this up on his Indy radio show?DD is Dan Dackich
I am not really sure how it would kill them with Romeo. They are not banned from any post season play at all.Hopefully this kills them with Romeo.
So, do you think Pitino paid off the police and / or prosecutor to keep them from pursuing criminal charges? How big of a pay off do you think it was?I read the article on Pitino and UofL. I was appalled that the NCAA could not use the most basic investigatory tool, follow the money. Someone had to pay for the entertainment. I'm pretty sure the funds did not come out of McGee's pocket.
My conspiratorial speculation is the someone under the UofL umbrella, maybe even Pitino himself, paid for McGee's silence.
Another conspiracy theory: The reason Katina Powell was not charged with a crime is that Andre McGee would be deposed and possibly charged also. If McGee is deposed, the UofL house of cards could come tumbling down.

Nope, you are.You're comparing making too many phone calls, which is now legal, to hiring hookers?
Ummmmmmmmmmmm, ok.
It was a felony? And admitting to it in a book is different than charging someone, going through discovery, finding witnesses, seating jurors, and proving a case. Of petty ante prostitution. That's way, way at the bottom of priorities for a public prosecutor with limited resources and an exploding docket of cases.Nah! No payoff! Do I think it is possible that UofL interests put pressure on a prosecutor, who may even be a UofL alumnus? Sure! My take from reading Louisville publications is that UofL basketball is treated as a community asset. Remember what happened when the Lexington Herald Leader exposed corruption in UK basketball years ago? The local denizens turned on and denounced the newspaper.
My question to you is what theory explains why Katina Powell was not charged for a felony to which she confessed in a published book? Who stands to gain? Answer: Andre McGee and UofL basketball.
Lol. Conspiracy theories are fun and funny to consider but, since there's no proof and nothing but wacko theories, they never stand a chance.Why does there need to be a "pay-off"? They could be fans and just look the other way. Happens all the time. Or, their boss is and tells them to ignore it.
Nope, you are.

All of those things regarding Baylor were unearthed as part of a comprehensive investigation. A similar deep dive at Louisville turned up none of the wacko stuff you're alleging. Not one thing. So keep going with those crazy conspiracy theories, even if you have no proof or thought behind them. I'm sure they'll take you far.Not wacko at all.
Heck, look at Baylor and other schools that look the other way when women are raped. Cops and higher ups knew abut those too. Or are you so naive you still believe in the Easter Bunny too?
It's really good advice, especially for someone like you.You're the one saying we shouldn't throw stones, Elmer.

Actually, "the most basic investigatory tool" is a subpoena (which lawyers can issue in an actual civil lawsuit but the NCAA can't issue in its investigations unless, coincidentally, it is a party in a connected lawsuit).I read the article on Pitino and UofL.

It's even more extreme than your example. As I recall, some of the "phone calls" in the IU case were to answering machines -- the telephone carrier records showed a, say, five second call had been placed because the answering machine picked up, but no one answered and no one left a message. The NCAA counted those too.You're comparing making too many phone calls, which is now legal, to hiring hookers?
Ummmmmmmmmmmm, ok.
Do you think think the NCAA and Chuck Smrt just make it up as they go? Are you as uninformed as you appear?How do you know there was a "deep dive"? Because they said so? LOL!!
So, do you wait up at night hoping to see Mr. Cottontail leave you some candy?
Hate to break it to ya, but history is FILLED with "crazy conspiracy theories" that actually were true.
Go to UofL and Rick P will turn you boy into a man the 1st night....pick your girl. Basically it doesn't matter if Rick knew or not...a lot of people did.
If my son was under aged and they allowed this to happen on a recruiting visit, they would be paying out big time...$10M+ easily in damages. Probably wouldn't even go to court..just settle.
But, if they were texting and call my son out of season....I can't image what would happen.....because that is so much worse.
