A former Louisville director of basketball operations acted unethically when he committed serious violations by arranging striptease dances and sex acts for prospects, student-athletes and others, and did not cooperate with the investigation, according to a Division I Committee on Infractions panel. The head men’s basketball coach violated NCAA head coach responsibility rules when he did not monitor the activities of his former operations director.

Penalties prescribed by the panel include four years of probation for the university; a suspension from the first five Atlantic Coast Conference games of the 2017-18 season for the head coach; a 10-year show-cause order for the former operations director; a one-year show-cause order for a former program assistant; a vacation of basketball records in which student-athletes competed while ineligible from December 2010 and July 2014; men’s basketball scholarship reductions and recruiting restrictions; a fine of $5,000, plus the university must return money received through conference revenue sharing for its appearances in the 2012 to 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championships. The panel also accepted the university’s self-imposed 2015-16 postseason ban.

After reviewing, the panel determined the previous structure was more lenient and prescribed the following measures:

• Public reprimand and censure for the university.
• Four years of probation from June 15, 2017, through June 14, 2021.
• A suspension from the first five ACC games of the 2017-18 season for the head coach. During the suspension, the head coach may not be present in the arena where the games are played and have no contact with the student-athletes or members of his coaching staff. The head coach also may not participate in any activities including, but not limited to, team travel, practice, video study and team meetings.
• A 10-year show-cause period for the former operations director from June 15, 2017, through June 14, 2027. During that period, any NCAA member school employing the former coach must restrict him from holding any athletically related duties and from having any contact with prospects and their families.
• A one-year show-cause order for the former program assistant from June 15, 2017, through June 14, 2018. During that period, any NCAA member school employing him can schedule an appearance before a panel of the COI to determine whether he should be subject to show-cause provisions.
• A vacation of basketball records in which student-athletes competed while ineligible from December 2010 and July 2014. The university will provide a written report containing the games impacted to the NCAA media coordination and statistics staff within 45 days of the public decision release.
• A reduction in men’s basketball scholarships by two during the 2016-17 year (self-imposed by the university). Additionally, the university must reduce men’s basketball scholarships by four over the probation period. The university may take the reductions during any year of that period.
• A prohibition of men’s basketball coaching travel during the April 2016 recruiting period, which resulted in a reduction of men’s basketball recruiting opportunities by 30 (self-imposed by the university).
• A reduction of recruiting travel during the July 2016 recruiting period by six days (self-imposed by the university).
• A reduction in the number of men’s basketball official visits to a total of 10 during the 2015-16 year. Additionally, the university will have no more than a total of 16 visits during the 2016-17 and 2017-18 years (self-imposed by the university).
• During the probation period, men’s basketball prospects on unofficial visits may not stay overnight in any campus dorms or school-owned property.
• A disassociation of the former operations director (self-imposed by the university). The public decision describes the details of his disassociation.
• A $5,000 fine (self-imposed by the university). The university must also return to the NCAA the money received through conference revenue sharing for its appearances in the 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championships. Future revenue distributions that are scheduled to be provided to the university from those tournaments also must be withheld by the conference and forfeited to the NCAA.
• A postseason ban for the men’s basketball team for the 2015-16 season (self-imposed by the university).

so a little pot, some money to run a score board, and help on a paper is worse than strippers?

 

[Deano]

They put the hammer down on them, but not as bad as us. Now let's hope the NCAA does it worse to UNC (yeah right).

Help a student with a history paper ... 9 games
Help a student with female anatomy / biology ... only 5 games.

 

[jordoo]

Hey they did the first 5 ACC games not the first 5 games. Didn't they change that midway with JB.

 

[jordoo]

So they only lose one ship per year of probation and they can take them whenever they want? 4 ships?

We appealed the ACC suspension.

The NCAA ruled on Dec 2 that JB has to begin his suspension ... on Dec 5.

Please don't set yourself up for the level of disappointment that will come with that decision.

We need new lawyers.

Louisville got off a very lightly compared to the crap we got. We lost more scholarships for Fab Melo getting help on one paper and into players getting no-show job at the YMCA and a self-imposed drug program we didn't even need to have.
Our chancellor and the Syracuse in-house counsel did a horrible job negotiating if this is the penalties we got compared to Louisville. They only lose two scholarships per year for four years what a bleeping joke they're going to appeal that and I'll bet get it reduced just like we did.

I don't get this. They aren't dropping the hammer on UNC so I was assuming they would do it on us and Ville.
