Hearing that the Cards are going to self-impose a ban on Postseason play in the ACC Tourney and the NCAA Tourney!
Bad day for Louisville and the ACC!
Bad day for Louisville and the ACC!
Crappy luck that we got them in their last game before announcing this.
Imagine their players will be mailing it in now. Woulda been nice to have played a team that didn't care anymore.

Ricky is as good as gone after this he did not sound at all like he agreed with self-impossing, the way the NCAA and schools is the most screwed up way of handling stuff like this punish people that did nothing wrong!
Its hard to say what the best way to punish something like this would be. It seems most ties are to an assistant coach, not Rick. At the same time the school as a whole has to be responsible since schools would just hire people just to be the fall guy. I can't say if I would self impose a ban the way their season is going but that would depend on how hard the NCAA is investigating.
Would like a third party to do it all though. Schools and NCAA can't be trusted to not put their interests before the right thing.

No offense, but that is a really shitty way to look at a situation like this.
Hark may be like me and not give 2 turds about what happens to other schools out side of the Heels!
The difference between this and the UNC scandal is pretty clear. I don't think they offered prostitutes and strippers as incentives for all students as a class you could take. That would have increased L'ville's enrollment to a waiting list of decades.
How so? I never said anything about how I felt about the players situations, or the school, or anything of the sort. In reality, I feel bad for the players that had nothing to do with this and are now being punished. First and foremost Damion Lee - who transferred in (so I'm assuming didn't get the "recruit treatment" that has lead to this mess), and now won't get to play in the ACC or NCAA tournaments.
I merely opined that the players would be giving less effort now. And it would be nice for the Heels to play a team that isn't going all out for once. And if we played them next week instead of this week, we'd probably have a better chance at winning the game.
Has no effect on us. Self-imposing is just a way to preempt and placate the NCAA.
UNC mens basketball has no such worries.
I do to but I am also not dumb enough to believe that he knew nothing about this whore house that was being run on his watch!
Agree, and didn't he really kinda bring this on himself and his team with his own behavior a couple years ago when he had an affair with one of his assistant coaches' wives?
Hard to believe that he hasn't been relieved of his coaching duties!
Also be interesting to see if the Pitino to UNLV rumors have any validity?
All-in-All, it's definitely a bad look for the Louisville basketball program!
Damn. can you imagine the supply of hookers and strippers in Vegas vs. Louisville , KY?
The president F*&^%D the kids that are playing for the Cards this year. I feel bad for the two 5th year kids who transferred to Louisville for a shot at experiencing March Madness.
The two 5th yrs are the only people I feel bad for. Pitino is a POS... always has been. He runs dirty programs and teaches dirty basketball.... he's as bad or worse than Cal.
What I was referring to is they will not care how they play now. Just our dern luck.
Yea Rick wasn't happy at all ..nor should he be ... Great team he's coached thus far and now the hammer ... Has to suck all the way around ESP for Damion and Trey as Rick said in his press conference
I absolutely HATE this.
Sure, I understand the reasoning - although it made a whole lot more sense in Syracuse's case since they weren't that good last year. BUT what I don't like about it is that it sends a message - 2 consecutive messages from top ACC teams, now - that a post season ban SHOULD be an expected penalty.
The more teams signaling that they think post season bans are correct penalties, the more I worry that it will be easier for the NCAA to do that to us. You can argue all you want that they shouldn't, based on the evidence, but do you really think that will stop them?
We're going to get some kind of smack - deserved or not - because the NCAA's credibility is on the line and they will feel the need to look tough. Just my opinion, obviously, but you have to consider that a strong possibility.
So . . . there are plenty of smacks they could administer. A few games suspension for Roy, the loss of a scholarship for a year or 2. Annoying, but we can easily weather those. But the one that I think is absolutely unwarranted is a post season ban.
NONE of the kids on this team did anything wrong. So even if you believe there was some wrong-doing, it's simply unreasonable to punish these kids. But Syracuse and Louisville have increased the chances that this will happen by their preemptive self-imposed bans.

It's a shame that the conferences and schools are bound to the NCAA because of the financial perks of the networks, sponsors, etc. The whole thing is a perpetual hypocrisy. You have billions and billions of dollars being made and then you penalize the people who are the only ones that really matter- the athletes! People that lack a certain talent, but instead try to make money off the unique talents of others, is where the root of this lies.
The NCAA is the biggest recipient of the wealth generated by the very thing it claims to be protecting. Talk about a conflict of interest. They are accountable and answerable to no one. These programs that "self-impose" penalties are probably not doing it of their own free will... entirely. I have no doubt that the NCAA is involved with the publicity and suggests this to the programs that are allegedly in question.

Wow. If the U imposed the ban over his wishes, then he SHOULD leave.
Like him or not, he's too good a coach for the school to throw him under the bus. He should leave. And he'll get plenty of top offers. Might see him in Raleigh, if nothing better comes along. Imagine that. That might be the highest density of top coaching in the history of the world.
I have expressed this before, but I feel the same way about Roy. Roy didn't cause this and he has been a loyal soldier. IIRC Roy was unhappy that the U didn't fight harder to get PJ reinstated. But in the end, he didn't publicly fight the administration. So if Roy and/or the team gets hammered by the NCAA and Roy disagrees (as I assume he will), they'd better go to bat for him and his players. 100% Or Roy should walk, too. We fans can bitch and moan about Roy but UNC had better not mistreat him.
