I think this is a weird way to handle it... So instead of awarding the championship to the other team or something, the "understanding" is that nothing happened at all that day.

No one won. A game was not played.

So what did they do? Looks like the staff arranged for escorts and parties, that doesn't seem worth stripping them of a title. Some other punishment sure, but this seems like firing off a nuke to kill an ant.

Thats...weird. The players get a little XXX action and suddenly what happens on the court is all for naught.

NCAA is run by idiots anyway, so Im not really surprised

I never understood stripping titles.

They are still in the books and everyone knew they won. Just make them pay a fine and take away a scholarship or two.

Hell even ban them from the tourney. I still know USC won those titles and i know Louisville won

Stupid. Apparently a report is coming out soon that implicates just about every major college program doing this stuff, it'll be interesting what the NCAA does then.

I feel bad for that player who broke his leg. His basketball career over and now he doesn't even have this championship


Dont you see? He never broke his leg.

I guess legally they could argue they didnt have to insure him because he never played.

But if all this never happened, then surely they never threw the parties for them for this that made it so. So if the parties never happened, they have no reason to strip the title!

Right?

It's incredibly dumb but precisely because it's so dumb, I just don't care. The game happened. Everyone knows who the winner is. This seems like a non-event. Are the players actually impacted in any way? They can still tell people they won that game.

Like the NCAA didn't strip Penn State for doing much worse shit, but they strip Louisville for this?

Yeah i guess different committees for different sports, but it's still under the same umbrella of one fucking organization.

NCAA is one of the most corrupt organizations in America, arguably the most corrupt and probably ruins more young peoples lives than the DNC/GOP combined.

The only organizations worse are FIFA and arguably the Olympics when it comes to sports.

Yeah I was going to say before you made the edit, that FIFA is probably just ahead of the NCAA

Taking away titles is always dumb, the kids the coaches the nation, everyone knows they won it and will always know that.

And lol at some of the responses here....basically bringing in prostitutes is highly against the rules and Pitino was doing all types of shady shit.

We all know every college does this shit.

But the NCAA sticks it's head in the sand until it comes out. And what they do is far worse than getting a lap dance.

Coaches make tens of millions a year.

Why are the players not getting a cut of that?

I don't agree with players getting paid, they get a free ride to a degree which later grants them sweet jobs once they graduate, for the ones who don't go pro anyway.

But if they had just brought over random girls from a bar who banged them for free it would have been fine.

No guarantee they get sweet jobs.

Players risk injury that could derail their careers.

Schools make MILLIONS off of their bodies.

They deserve more than a scholarship tbh. Either that or allow them to make money off of their own image and likeness.

If someone wants to give them something, why is the NCAA allowed to say no but still make money off of the athletes?

Yah, Paterno lost his most wins by a coach after that. Something like 100+ wins were taken away. All types of shit happened to them.

Whoa, they gave the wins back to them. I had no idea, thats some fucked up shit.

It definitely affects the kids who just committed.


yeah but they can still go to other schools. I'm referring specifically to future recruiting

It sounds kind of silly that they lose all of that because of some strippers or whatever, but the players were given improper benefits and were therefore ineligible. It would be no different than if the players were given a million dollars or not taking classes. Ineligible is ineligible.

lol Louisville though
