    Rick named in indictment states he knew

    My point is irrelevant because you think direct testimony is a "weak as a form of evidence" because the person testifying is implicated in the alleged wrongdoing? Well, if that was the case, the conviction rate in federal court would be about 20% instead of 90%. He is of course biased, and he...

    Rick named in indictment states he knew

    It is not hearsay if Dawkins attests to what happened. Pitino's alleged "agreement" may be hearsay, but Dawkins testimony that he told Pitino about paying Bowen is direct evidence that Pitino knew. Now, of course, you can impeach Dawkins' credibility in an attempt disprove what he is saying...

    Two scumbags take in the Bellarmine game and a couple of brews...

    I think I am going to rather enjoy this latest Zipp campaign. May even eat some pizza while reading along.

    Bowen May be Reinstated

    Can't tell if you are serious. That is 100% Kevin Zipperle. He has already discussed the photo. He went to the initial Board meeting and the subsequent one where they voted to fire Jurich. He was interviewed by the news.

    Bowen May be Reinstated

    Uhh, he was THE guy holding the sign. This is Zipp.

    Bowen May be Reinstated

    Bowen was not "cleared" in the Adidas investigation for purposes of the NCAA. The FBI indicated that the "investigational impediments" were over, which means that it has completed its investigation of that particular incident, so Louisville and the NCAA are now free to do whatever they need to...

    Will the NCAA still take down the 2013 Championship banner???

    I am not sure why you can't see the clear difference, but agree to disagree. There are different types of NCAA violations. Both may result in ineligible players. In one type, a player took money while already in school. In the other type, the actual program paid a player to come to that...

    Will the NCAA still take down the 2013 Championship banner???

    Of course, but that is far different from a school cheating to actually get a player or to keep a player eligible. A player getting money while playing, such as Camby taking money from his agent, doesn't benefit the school. It is not cheating by the school. It is a violation by the player in...

    Will the NCAA still take down the 2013 Championship banner???

    Right, and it should be illegal. But it isn't cheating in terms of the NCAA paradigm. It doesn't put the other teams at a disadvantage in any way. In fact, it helps them. Prostitution is illegal, but I am quite certain you feel that it did not provide much if any advantage to UofL, and that...

    Will the NCAA still take down the 2013 Championship banner???

    Why do you consider point shaving worse? That has always seemed silly to me. Sure, it shouldn't be allowed. But it isn't cheating. Paying someone 100K to come to your school is as egregious of cheating as you can get, next to what UNC did. Giving up some points to ensure that your team wins...

    Matt Jones being sued by Referee Higgins

    That is completely incorrect. The heightened standard for public figures relates to the culpability of the defendant -- i.e., a public figure must show that a defendant intentionally said things that he knew were false. The plaintiff must then establish actual damages, which is not easy...

    Looks like Vince Tyra will be named interim AD

    This is probably very temporary, way more so than the basketball coach because the basketball team needs a coach for the season and no real coach is going to come immediately (very few are available even) when there is no sense yet of what is going to happen with the NCAA. But the school should...

    Looks like Vince Tyra will be named interim AD

    Assuming that Jurich and Pitino are still gone, it could be that they can't take any official action yet because of the contracts require 10 days for Pitino and 30 days for Jurich. Crazy what type of contracts are used in athletics today...I assume these aren't unique.

    Looks like Vince Tyra will be named interim AD

    That looks funny, but he is incredibly loyal to UofL from what I understood. Definitely not a UK fan.

    Bowen seeking reinstatement, remains on campus

    Didn't they change that rule after the Cam Newton fiasco? Someone who knows can probably explain better, but I believe the NCAA closed that loophole.

    The difference between free speech and defamation...

    Pitino is a public figure. The standard for defamation is much higher for public figures. He would have to establish that someone knew what they were saying was false (or basically should have known), which is a standard he absolutely could not meet under these circumstances. To the contrary...

    Coach 2-What else did he know

    Much of what was in the FBI materials was not a federal crime. In fact, it could turn out that none of it was. The theory used is questionable. The only people arrested are those that took money themselves and/or breached fiduciary duties to the kids. The coaches that facilitated payments to...

    Why are we still supporting rick and tom

    That is incorrect. That is not the way the 5th Amendment works. The fact that a grand jury has not indicted anyone in the matter in no eliminates McGee's ability to plead the 5th. The only thing that would is immunity.

    If the one and done rule is overturned?

    Still not off-topic. The discussion is how it would change college basketball, which includes how it would change Cal and UK, given that UK under Cal has the most OADs by far. I didn't bring that aspect of the conversation into the thread. Someone else did, but it is on topic. Someone posted...
