February 20, 20188 yr I would almost guarantee another banner goes up. They cant use NCAA obviously, or any other phrase they have trademarked. I don't think it's just about trademarks, it's about Louisville being stripped of a title for rules infractions. The NCAA can still keep them from trying to recognize the title on the sly...no matter how they try to do it. NCAA may not say anything but they made UK change a media guide because it referenced a number of wins that were not recognized by the NCAA...so I think they will shoot down any cutesy ideas UofL tries to circumvent this ruling.

We'll see. I'd bet there's another banner up. What are they going to do?
February 20, 20188 yr I hate this for the U.L. fans on here, I honestly mean that. I remember how it felt when U.K. was put on tough penalties / sanctions and how that hurt. At least now U.L. knows what its facing and can put it behind them and move on. (........ as for the bb program / coach basically running a brothel for players / recruits, what did they expect ? That's blatant and imo the head coach at that time had to have known about it, regardless of what he claimed. Since then his record of honesty hasn't exactly been stellar.)
February 20, 20188 yr 2 questions: 1. With this precedent and with the outcome at North Carolina why would any program ever cooperate with an NCAA investigation again? 2. Chuck Smrt was hired for his expertise in NCAA policy. UofL followed his council for how to lessen the severity of the blow. Should he be sued for malpractice? Chuck Smrt is a jke.
February 20, 20188 yr We'll see. I'd bet there's another banner up. What are they going to do? Suspend them more games, fine them $$$, pull their NCAA membership...there has to be some retribution for flaunting the rules.
February 20, 20188 yr Suspend them more games, fine them $$$, pull their NCAA membership...there has to be some retribution for flaunting the rules. Sounds like you HOPE there is a way the NCAA can keep them from doing it...
February 20, 20188 yr Maybe it's just because they're small enough to escape notice, but WKU has a 1971 Final Four banner hanging that has NCAA on it and everything. That's a vacated banner as well. I'm not certain where the line is with those things.

I'm not certain where the line is with those things. If that's allowed to be up, I'm definitely not taking it down. "NCAA" and "Final Four" are their things.
February 20, 20188 yr Sounds like you HOPE there is a way the NCAA can keep them from doing it... Just pointing out that if they decide to stop them they have plenty of options...the bolded was pointing out that there has to be a penalty for flaunting the rules, not that I was searching for one.

February 20, 20188 yr I would almost guarantee another banner goes up. They cant use NCAA obviously, or any other phrase they have trademarked. They will return trophies distributed by the NCAA and things of that nature, but they can't keep you from hanging something up that doesn't have their name on it. Here is an idea. Leave the 'hole' where the banner was forever going forward. That way its not 'there' but its 'there'. I heard Tyra saying how players will not be able to bring their kids back and show them the banners, etc. But what ever they take down they should just leave the hole and the empty space in place. Let history fill in the blanks.
February 20, 20188 yr If that's allowed to be up, I'm definitely not taking it down. "NCAA" and "Final Four" are their things. Pretty much my thoughts. I take note of whether its still there every time I have occasion to go to Diddle.
February 20, 20188 yr Can't they just put up banners that say "2013 mens champions" and 2012 mens semi-finalist?
February 20, 20188 yr I honestly didn't think the NCAA would take the title, particularly after giving UNC a break. Now that they have hammered UL, what happens when the whole Adidas investigation is finished...? It seems as though the NCAA will have to hammer every school involved in that as well, otherwise they are more less saying that they are only going to punish schools that they don't consider blue bloods.
