So I saw on TOS that Rodney is mentioned briefly. Did I miss that convo in this thread? Did any of our other recruits visit 'Ville?

 

[CL82]

Hmmm, does this shed any light on how Jurich got a glorified community college into the ACC?

 

[Doheny]

What the chances that any of their recruits will de-commit because of this?

 

[Walker11]

Hopefully (for all involved) Vance signs up pretty soon because I bet VJ King will be a free agent in the very near future.

Just a clarification. Book specifically mentions Rodney was not involved. Weird that the author would take the time to distance a player from the scandal as opposed to not mentioning him at all. But she did. Maybe he's a class kid who impressed her or maybe she likes to ride Ferraris.

 

[Jaker]

I expect the NCAA to will act swiftly and with a heavy hand in this case. VJ King should be placing a call to Ollie.

 

[UConNick]

The real question though: when was this treatment going on, in a recent timeframe? Was King himself introduced to these girls? I'd really like to know if this had any impact on the King recruitment this summer.

Edit: Pitino is now saying that if Jurich wants him to leave, he will. He can go right ahead, Rick. Happy trails!

 

[Jaker]

If these recruits indeed indulged, aren't they in violation for accepting benefits? Will they still be eligible to play?

I'm sure Emmert will give the kids immunity to get them to roll over on Pitino. The NCAA doesn't like Pitino any more than we do.

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Just imagine, Louisville and UNC banned from post-season playa and on probation in the same year. It's a dream; but, a happy dream at that.

I am sure some of the folks who pushed for or agreed to having Louisville join the ACC maybe having second thoughts right now. Most schools run into academic trouble from time to time. University employees hiring hookers, well that's different ball game. Maybe President Leahy up in Chestnut Hill should be doing a few 'Hail Mary's' and 'Our Father's' for making a deal with the devil.

Interesting read about their recruiting at the time when Powell started providing hookers

[BigErnMcCracken]

The President not mentioning Pitino in his message is somewhat damning for Ricky. He mentioned he fully supported Jurich but intentionally left out Pitino. Ouch.

For a second, until I realized you were talking about the president of the university, I figured this was a Palatine post.

 

[UconnU]

This is going to get really bad for them.. with recruits backing her claims. A schools director of basketball operations providing minors with hookers on campus.... this is some serious stuff. Not only ncaa violations but very illegal as well. Going to be interesting to see if Rick survives this. Also is there a more shady name than rick or ricky? Every rick I've ever known is sketchy.

You should've known it wasn't Palatine when you didn't see Hillary mentioned anywhere within.

 

[Jaker]

yup, this will set the Cards back years

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Anyone know how much McGee made as an assistant coach at Louisville? If its not much, then its not likely he can pay for 22 'events.' That means they money had to come from somewhere. If said money came from the university (no one is insane to expense that, uh, never mind, forgot about a guy named Spitzer), from the head coach's pocket (Rick is going to jail if that is the case) or a university aligned booster, the Cards are screwed. If it was all paid by the assistant, Louisville will be punished; but, Rick will survive if he 'didn't' know about it, wink, wink, and the Cards will have their fall guy.

Age of concent is 16 in KY. They aren't legally considered minors.

We're the only two guys who looked that up. Not sure what that says about us.

It says we need to plan a trip to Kentucky!!! Or come visit me in Nevada. 16 here too.

 

[ColoradoUCFan]

I don't believe that height measurement on the wall.

Includes hairdo

This is the first image that comes up when you do a Google image search for: Louisville Stripper.

Seems legit.

Edit: +10 bonus points for my man still wearing at least 1 golf shoe.

Jesus, they're almost all 16, including all of New England. It looks like only a few states use 17 or 18.
