U of L press conference with President Ramsey, Tom Jurich and Rick Pitino at 1:30 p.m. to "to deliver an important message to the community" @jdemling

Probably to announce building of new recruiting sweet equipped with more female "staff" & leather.
 
@KySportsRadio
My best UL source says today's press conference is "a big deal"

UL Coaches meeting with the team right now I am told
 
Pitino: " I am distressed by the school's decision to impose self sanctions but if I can get through nine eleven I can get through this."
 
Friday always day of choice for bad news. We'll see.

It's also the Friday before the biggest sporting event in the country. They must really want to bury it.
 
the only person I feel sorry for is Lee the kid who transferred from Drexel. Andre McGee was long gone so his recruitment was probably uneventful. and his last year of college ball is spent in purgatory with a sleezeball coach
 
This gives Pitino more free time to find a job for "Little Rick" who is imploding at Minn.
 
I hate these self-imposed bans. They make the schools look worse. If you're interested in actually dealing with the problem for real then discipline/fire those responsible and leave the post-season bans for the NCAA. Anytime a school self-imposes a one-year band I internally root for the NCAA to triple it and take half their scholarships.
 
Now that the Louisville situation is coming to a close, we can expect a decision on North Carolina any day now.

Oh wait...

Painful? They're in KY aren't they? :lol:

he was another kid that st johsn was looking at but louisville was a better basketball program but yea he came in there blind i feel bad for him 2 he doesnt deserve this
 
@stlappas
Why wouldn't Louisville take ban next year? Allows kids to play now and really punishes program cause recruits would not come. That's why !

Exactly
 
They should be forfeiting any game in which a player who was illegally recruited played in (approximately 7 years) plus multi year scholarship losses. We lost an entire year of wins because Ron Artest bought a gold chain on layaway!!!!! Anyone can buy a gold chain on lay away!! That was ##%$ retarded! If they don't come down hard on them, it is entirely unfair to the hit we took for next to nothing. :angry:
 
Anyone watching this press conference by the way? Not a whiff of accountability from the head coach. All about how sad he feels for Damion Lee and Trey Lewis. I feel bad for them too, but if you're admitting wrong-doing shouldn't there be some sense of contrition here?
