It's official Louisville...

Yikes

They've been in denial ever since the hookers for recruits "scandal" broke. Their responses usually involves a level of smug superiority that only Notre Dame and possibly Alabama fans reside at.

Thoughts and prayers?

Too Soon... Too soon

You were just stripped of your 2013 National Championship... the first team in the history of the NCAA to have that happen. Congratulations.

Nope

Louisville isn't the 1st NCAA champion to vacate a championship -- here are the rest

Pretty sure OP just meant that Louisville is the first basketball program to have an NCAA championship stripped from them.

They had the same reaction when the Wakeyleaks scandal hit. lmao, they even blamed it on Wake Forest. Just ridiculous.

ok, fair enough

I could be wrong but I was under the impression that the majority, if not all the teams involved were Adidas schools.

I have no facts to back that up before anyone asks for a link... I just seem to recall hearing, seeing, or possibly reading something like that.

The schools that are involved are indeed Adidas schools and we've heard no updates since the Pitino scandal, that being- Adidas was paying kids up to $100,000 to play basketball at an Adidas school!

Louisville now has as many NC's as NCSU

Lol.

Only 15 programs out of 300+ have won a national championship more than once.

They still have 2, and 2 is better than 0. Especially for non-blue-bloods.

How did Bobby Petrino survive this? He's a dirty POS, I remember he had signed too many scholarships and he ended up when rescinding a kid's grant once school began, when that kid couldn't go anywhere else!

 

[OregonDucks]

These retro punishments are dumb. It doesn't crown a new champion, the game still happened, we will all remember who won it, no matter if there is an asterisk by it.

yeah, but they still have as many NC's as NC State does now

Vacating is stupid. Everyone knows it happened. If the NCAA had real balls, they hit schools where it really hurts; the athletic fund. See how many programs overlook stuff when they face fines in the millions of dollars.

Also, if Louisville doesn't get the death penalty after this and the FBI case, they just need to abolish that rule. Between this and Baylor, there's really nothing else you could do to get it.

Its Louisville. Swofford was clearly desperate when he invited them.

This has all but confirmed my belief that you are indeed a troll because you don't even know the year your "team" made the title game. Lmao.
