NCAA to release UofL report today

NCAA is to release UofL Basketball investigation penalties today at 11:00.

University has scheduled a 12:30 press conference.

What do they get...

Rick suspended?

Games vacated?

Post season ban?

Title vacated?

Loss of scholarships?

Slap on the wrist?

We finally find out today.

Pitino suspended a few games and most everyone feeling like they got off easy

I am betting maybe a 8-10 game suspension for Rick, back before ACC play.

No way they strip the title. I don't think they'll even vacate games.

Anything short of losing a banner and they should throw a celebration today. Because by the rules. those games and that title should be vacated.

It will be hard to justify when compared to what they did to Memphis over Rose. That said I think Pitino gets 10-12 games and they maybe get another season of no tournament.

That would be classic NCAA...punish the kids who are there now and had nothing to do with it.

This is truly the most NCAA thing ever.

WOW! They got destroyed:

5 Game ACC Suspension for Pitino

“Without dispute, NCAA rules do not allow institutional staff members to arrange for stripteases and sex acts for prospects, enrolled student-athletes and/or those who accompany them to campus,” said the panel in its decision.

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).

Because the violations occurred both before and after the new infractions process, the panel compared the previous penalty structure to the current structure to determine which is more lenient, as outlined in the rule change. 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.

Does this mean their national championship is going to be vacated?

• 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.

UofL can still slide through with their title...we will need to wait and see if UofL says any players at the "Parties" also participated in games to be forfeited.
