These penalties are better then I expected, but less then I hoped.

Vacating wins, meh. 5 game suspension? Meaningless. I wanted post-season bans and large scholarship cuts, THAT is punishment. Not the current kids fault? Sorry, stay out of the sewer and you won't get slimy. A coach pimping for players is disgusting and has to be punished. 

Vacating a banner if that includes all the wins in that period... The coach's suspension and scholarship losses are small fish when you vacate and entire championship.

Here is the release from the NCAA: http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/media-center/news/former-louisville-operations-director-acted-unethically-head-coach-failed-monitor

In regards to the scholly's:

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.

So they could maintain 13 scholarship players until the fourth year and then drop to 9 for a year? I wouldn't be surprised if that's around the time quick Rick bounces.

He is not.

Strangely, Funderburk, Funderburke.

That probably means "I want to replace him with a better player"

I doubt it. They have plenty of scholarships

You could be right.

We have plenty too, but few wanted to see Gelon tying one up for the next 3 years.

We have 1 now. None before Gelon left. They have several right now.

Right, that means still we don't have a need for it in 2017.

Not the same scenario, but both diff types of apples.

 

We'll find out what happens. I think he was red-shirted because it will really help his game, and maybe it was noticed that his game wasn't helped that much.  Maybe we'll find out his indiscretion.

We are literally still recruiting for 2017

Very interesting. Save a few million dollars and repair the damaged image of the university. Seems like an easy choice to me

Not sure why anyone would want to play for this guy.  I'm no U of L know it all, but it appears he has brought nothing but negative press for the university, especially if they vacate the national championship.  Just look at the guy ...

Ultimately that might be Indiana's crux to return to the prominence of college ball. Too many play in the gray area or just outright cheat to get recruits. If Indiana isn't on the same level playing field its results will be less (on the average).

I'm hoping we can have Sean Miller like recruiting success here at Indiana. If we do, we will be in the conversation on a regular basis.

Picture of JaQuan Lyle with his new wheels that he put on Instagram just after committing to Louisville. Big smile, "L" hand signal, and new car:

Pitino knows the weight of his assistants but had zero knowledge of anything shading going on? I don't buy that. He might not have known exactly what was going on but he had some idea.
