Mark Emmert

[ItsintheCardsRMan]

According to Blecher Report...President Mark Emmert was told about the Michigan State assaults in 2010. If this correct, he did nothing, then the NCAA complicate in the assaults because they weren't stopped at that time. This proves the NCAA is ineffective and must disbanded. UofL needs to tell the NCAA to stick it.

UofL can.
They just won't be able to keep any NCAA records, titles or banners.

Even though we call it National Champion,
the titles are actually NCAA tournament champions.

If that's what the NCAA represents.....who the hell wants their records, titles or banners.

 

[CardsFirst]

The way it’s going there won’t be an NCAA to tell us to take it down. Their going to get the death penalty!

I am currently watching ESPN "Outside the Lines", which is showing a piece on Michigan State and its Sexual Assault issues. Why wasn't the NCAA investigating MSU in 2010/2011? The main theme of the report shows the MSU has the same problem that Penn State. The only difference between MSU and Penn State was that the assaults are by players, not coaches...but just as bad. On its face...Is so and Danatonio should fired immediately. But the NCAA is worried Strippers in Dorms than assaults and rapes. Unlike Louisville, who have no campus and/or police reports on record like MSU...we have book from a prostitute...really? This is a no brainer. My original post...I was trying to point out the hypocrisy of the NCAA. So, you have a team physician of was molesting under age gymnists and recently convicted for life in prision. The activities of the football and basketball teams and the President of the NCAA knowing as early as 2010 about this. Syracuse, UCONN, UNC, and Miami all violated NCAA rules for recruiting and academic fraud....all got to keep their banners. But UofL is going to lose the 2013 title, 2012 appearance and millions in penalties...for strippers....but lets allow rapes, assaults, child molesting to occur at MSU, cheating and academic fraud at UNC, Syracuse, recruiting violations at UCONN. Oh...lets not forget Baylor, that has had murder and rape. Time to disband the NCAA. Put them to test and sue them for their inconsistency.

If this is indeed true of Emmert, and they do deny the appeal, I CAN GUARANTEE you that Louisville WILL keep the banner in the end. Mark it down

I guess the NCAA didn't think what happened at Michigan State was "morally repugnant" enough.

 

[Mike'sMarbles]

We will get penalized and the corruption of the punisher won't help us at all. Emmert will be forced to resign and someone new will come in and talk about cleaning up the NCAA. The beat goes on. But we're not going to get any help from this.

 

[Mayoman]

Death penalty without possibility of resurrection clause.....that would be the ticket for them.....in a just world.

I think that is almost certainly true. In fact, the NCAA will parade us out stripped naked as proof that they are now going to punish serious offenders.

In this case, Kentucky is Penn State, North Carolina and Michigan State. I hate to say it but we're in the Cleveland State role. It is what it is.

Personally, I can't/don't claim any feelings of injustice or victimization from what other programs or entities have done. Regardless of the wrongdoings at other programs, or what governing bodies have failed to address elsewhere...OUR program DID commit violations...we HAVE earned sanctions. The fact that other programs have skated and other violations went unreported/unpunished doesn't change the fact that we did wrong and left ourselves open to sanctions. I certainly understand that a strong case can be made for the severity of our sanctions, in stark contrast to the lack of penalty or addressing of wrong doing by others. But for me personally, I just can't summon any feelings of injustice for our program knowing what we know about what did transpire. I've long been ready to take our medicine and move forward.

Yes...you are correct...UofL did violate NCAA rules. But the level of penalty DOES NOT RISE TO LEVEL of the other schools!!! That's the problem with this country...its always selective punishment. UofL didn't kill, rape or molest anyone. They had strippers in the dorm. Sex probably....but I can tell you it wouldn't be first time. Hell, a former President of the United States got a special favor and got away with it. That's the problem...the others schools fought and wouldn't take responsibility for their actions...UofL did. That's why UofL needs to fight this...bring up the other schools and move on. What I haven't heard is Did UofL gain an advantage from the parties? Did they get recruits from them? Its impermissible benefits...but the infractions committee wants to focus on sex. If that's the case, then turning a blind eye or not reacting to MSU, after knowing about their issues in 2010. UofL issues started in 2012. Had the NCAA reacted back then to MSU...IMHO, there is no UofL. Did UofL break rules...yes. Should they be punished....yes. Should they lose their title and appearance...NO! Because the NCAA has set the prescedent.

I'm in the same boat. Im pretty much over it. It seems to me that the NCAA is crumbling, college sports are as crooked as they come and we are one of the teams that happen to be falling with it. In the end I think many more teams get into trouble for different things.

At this point it seems that the NCAA as an organization all with the teams that play within is a disgusting, gross entity. This MSU stuff is the icing on the cake for me. Until drastic changes are made In pretty much done with sports. I say let UofL, MSU, and any other team that hers caught burn to the ground and start from.scratch. Maybe let the NCAA burn to the ground as a whole would be the best thing

 

[cocoa]

Should UK burn to the ground too for their past discretions. Like point shaving, and impermissable benifits to name a couple of things from their past?? Just askin Chapman Jan 20 2018??

I think they should and have been saying it for years. They should...just to shut up their stupid fan base!

yes I do. And a little birdie has told me that the fbi stuff isn't over and UK is not innocent in all of this, hence the miss on recruits as of late. Cal is laying low. you will see....

 

[Chapman123]

I'm no apologist for anyone. All of this needs to get cleaned up regardless which teams are dirty.

UK was shut down because of the point shaving and that year was not eligible for anything. The Sutton fiasco was a heyday for Cats haters with a two year probation, loss of scholarship, no television, all players allowed to transfer out, all coaches and AD terminated.
We deserved it, we took it.

And everybody without blue tinted lenses knows that UK should have gotten the death penalty for their program. Lack of institutional control...which was not mentioned about Louisville. Can't with the Adidas issue...but neither UK Nike school. UK is one of the most penalized schools in the NCAA. I know personally on the things they got away with and the NCAA has looked the other way.

Hey I love the Cards since high school, but I'm also a PSU grad and football season ticket holder since 1986 and I have to tell you that State has paid dearly for Sandusky's horrible deeds:$80 M + in lost revenues for bowl appearances and fines and the stain on our whole community from an evil bastard Sandusky. Unc skated free, but I will never hire Any UNC grad based on that bogus program they had.
UofL absolutely has to fight any rulings from Emmert and his bogus antiquated NCAA like UNC did.

Now Sparty can get reprimanded quickly starting with Izzo this week and Dantonio right afterwards for their deeds the last few years. That case is like Baylor involving players and then coaches/admin covering it up. Briles and the AD and hoops coached stepped down.
Also it's time to put pressure on Emmert to step down ASAP. in fact the Power 5 needs to move on now for CFB and CBB sooner rather than later.
Go Cards! Beat UVA

 

[Mike'sMarbles]

It's not Louisville.
It's not Penn State.
It's not Baylor.
It's not UNC.
It's not Michigan State.

It's everyone.

How many SEC football programs have NOT been on probation in the past 25 years? Not to pick on the SEC, it's not them. It's all of it.

The penalties mean nothing. It doesn't even slow it down.

I don't have any workable answers but I listed 5 schools and there will be 5 different ones in 5 years and it will just go on and on. For every 1 school that's currently "in trouble" 5 others (maybe every other?) are doing something that we'll hear about later.

At the end of the day it was just our turn. Too bad it was such an ugly scandal instead of just paying players. Hopefully we won't get caught again for a while. I guess that's the attitude you have to take to remain a part of this cesspool of college sports.

What I believe is that there is so much money involved with all the member schools and so much pressure to win. Even though no one wants to admit it...the schools benefit from all this. The money...the PR...the Funding for non-sporting causes (Buildings, Research Grants, Endowments). These are all the reasons this happens. Where the problem is that dealings with "sports" schools that will take that chance, because all the money that is involved...a Governing Body that has little power or enforcement. MSU issues show that the inconsistency of the NCAA.

 

[Bluegrasscard]

Big schools have been ensuring potential and active players 'had a good time' for a very long time. What happened at UofL was bad, no doubt. But it was not criminal rape. The culture of entitlement is there - everywhere. And apparently in some cases the culture makes some believe that it is OK to take was is not given or provided. Apparently the culture is so rampant that institutionalized cover-up is the option of choice by highly paid, highly respected (in most cases) individuals that would normally be above reproach.

I had a former SEC football player say - the fact that UofL had girls/young women involved is no shocker to anyone who has been on the inside the culture. What was shocking he said was that it was explicitly paid for.

The issue of girls and sex and major college sports is much bigger and much worst that the what was happening at Minardi Hall. Far worse. And its everywhere. That does not excuse any events at our institution but it will be hard to watch a leader of the NCAA wave around the head of the Cardinal bird as a trophy of justice if he was involved with cover-ups of criminal sexual assaults.
