April 9, 201313 yr Y! SPORTS "That's a pretty big deal, but the Louisville women will be short a few supporters at New Orleans Arena when they take on UConn. That's because the Louisville men's team was originally denied a waiver by the NCAA to go see their classmates try and make history for the first time since both UConn teams won titles in 2004. Something about an "improper benefit" if the Cardinal men were to board a plane for the short flight from Atlanta to the Big Easy. Perhaps realizing the silliness of their initial ruling, the NCAA reportedly reversed course on Tuesday morning and said the Louisville mencould make the trip. But the permission slip was a day late and a dollar short as Brett McMurphy of ESPN reports the school had already gone forward with plans to bring the team back to Kentucky." :ohbrother:
April 10, 201313 yr So would the NCAA now allow for UConn to fly it's men's team to New Orleans also?
April 10, 201313 yr So would the NCAA now allow for UConn to fly it's men's team to New Orleans also? If they had played last night....sure.
April 10, 201313 yr Maybe the NCAA will rule that Enes Kanter was eligible for the 2010- 2011 season.
April 10, 201313 yr If they had played last night....sure. Honest question, what does that have to do with anything?
April 10, 201313 yr The NCAA is often proof that common sense is not all that common. Good line. One of my new favs
April 10, 201313 yr The UL Men's team thanks you for your decision NCAA. You keep insisting that they didn't want to go, but it's not true. They've been to women's games all year and they were the ones that asked to go. I know for a fact Gorgui wanted to, he would watch Louisville bowling given the chance, he loves the BMOC life.
April 10, 201313 yr Honest question, what does that have to do with anything? They have to be flown back to Kentucky at some point. Why can't they go support their school since the opportunity is there? I get the whole "it's not fair to the other students" argument and to a point I agree. However, how many times have the men's and women's teams both played for the title? This is one of those rare occasions where common sense should rule the day IMO. Nobody is hurt in letting the men's team be able to travle to New Orleans to watch their women's team play.

You can't tell me all of them were itching to go there and miss the party in Louisville. It was really more of a shot at women's basketball than anything :lol2:

I'll also add that one of the stories about Russ Smith I was told was that he stripped to his underwear and had his whole body painted and led the student section at a UL soccer game. That's stuff you don't hear of.
