Major Announcement coming out of L'ville: 2013 Title Vacated

[dasher]

Do we get the Big East tourney title now? Can we have our victory parade?

 

[HOFCeluck]

I know I’ve gone in record in the past saying that vacating wins is stupid.

But LOOOOOOOOLVILLE!

 

[iommi]

They got off easy anyway. No scholarships lost, no recruiting restrictions.

The Orange are the final BE champs.
Most important: that horrible second half collapse in the BE final is null and void!

But Louisville did this to themselves.
And then compounded all their problems by hiring a G-town law grad to handle their appeal.
How foolish.

Stripping away wins is b.s. Do something else.

This article said they did but did say how many -
NCAA upholds that L'ville must vacate '13 title

The Cardinals also were placed on NCAA probation for four years, which includes scholarship reductions and recruiting restrictions, a $5,000 fine and the forfeiture of any money received through conference revenue sharing from the 2012-15 NCAA tournaments. That sum could be as much as $15 million, according to published reports. The Cardinals had already self-imposed a postseason ban for the 2015-16 season.

Agree with that.
And the "acting" Louisville administration's response today is so unbelievably arrogant.
No reference to what they did.
Just talking up the program and their great accomplishments.

They should get hit with more sanctions just for today's "performance."

Am I missing something? They banned themselves in 2016 and have to give money back. Nothing about scholly reductions or staff restrictions on recruiting. I mean they can’t possibly get off better than us.

Get off. Get it? GET IT?

There's more than enough stripping going on here for everybody.

Stripping....hehehehe

Pun intended?

For using ineligible players. That’s funny. Unc used ineligible players for 20 years.

 

[rrlbees]

These are the people that took them down. AAC, Georgia, Texas and Princeton.

COMMITTEE SELECTION LINKS: A JSP APPLICATION

 

[Orangello]

This is what happens when you give your recruits large bills instead of singles. Always remember to tip the girls fellas.....

 

[Cusefan0307]

I can't take any of these penalties seriously with what UNC was able to get away with and continuously put up 30 win seasons.

Agree. Not even being funny here, but the "reason" UNC got off so easily was because the classes were offered to everyone. If Louisville offered these strip shows to all students at no charge, would it be any different? I get that its different (morals, ethics, financial, etc), don't need to explain it to me lol. Just venting on how the NCAA picks and chooses what they want.

Their admissions office would be going through applications forever!

They have zero commits for 2018. They lose Mahmoud and Snider at least. It's going to get bad quickly there.

 

[iommi]

I don't get it. Where are the specifics on scholarships docked and recruiting restrictions? I don't recall that being announced initially.

Anybody know a good tattoo removal place? Asking for a friend named Rick.

Tattoo U: Pitino puts title in ink as promised

They have zero recruits because nobody knows who the coach will be.

I'm sure they'll be back up and running once they add a big name coach, or successful mid-major coach. They weren't dinged a ton of scholarships (4 over 4 years of probation), so unless the Pitino/Adidas fiasco adds something that will actually hurt them, I can see them being ok in a year or two.

Reduced by 4 over the probation term, 2017-2021

 

[Fly Rodder]

I don't get it. Where are the specifics on scholarships docked and recruiting restrictions? I don't recall that being announced initially.

Here:

• 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).

That's part of the reason. There's also virtually nobody left in the top 100 for next year and they still have the FBI hanging over their head.
