Apparently the placement on leave is because the athletics association has to vote on it. I guess there just wasn't enough time between yesterday and this morning to hold a conference call or something!

It's that their contracts state that a certain amount of time has to pass before they can be fully terminated with cause. Otherwise their full buyouts have to be paid.

They're all but gone but UL has a couple of legal hurdles to jump before they're fully cast away.


Also watch them hire Dave Bliss somehow to coach this year.

From what I understand Pitino's contract requires he get 10 days notice before the board can vote on his firing

To be fair, the NCAA never had the power of subpoena or jail time at their disposal so they really couldn't have run things like the FBI is doing

Doesn't mean they weren't complicit in a lot of bullshit but their leverage was limited compared to the government

The rumor has always been that if Penn State hadn't accepted the extremely harsh penalties the NCAA laid on them they would have gotten it; if Louisville doesn't get it for this you can assume that you simply can't get it for paying players anymore

Football: FBS has a scholarship limit of 85 players. If you payed them all $1000 a month for a year, that's $1.02 million.

Alabama's coaching staff is due to make $18 million this year.

Louisville should get the death penalty but they won't. The two reasons is that the NCAA will never give a major program the death penalty again after seeing what it did to SMU and that Louisville has a new president who can work with the NCAA. If Ramsey was still in charge then you'd see the NCAA do everything but the fatal blow, but this new guy can drop enough self-harm to please the ACc/NCAA. It may mean a multiple-year postseason ban, forfeiture of any and all conference dollars and/or scholarships, potentially no non-con home games. There won't be any lost seasons or a complete loss of home games as not to punish the Louisville community, but you can limit them to 9 conference home games.

I don't want to re-litigate the arguments that were hammered into the ground 5 years ago, but I think there was at least an element of ambiguity about how much the Penn State case fell into the purview of the NCAA, whereas good old straight up paying players (and hiring hookers for players) with extensive documentation is very much in the NCAA's sweet spot.

I agree we're not likely to see the death penalty again, not for sports and teams anybody cares about, but Louisville (and maybe Baylor) are stronger candidates than Penn State ever was.

Also there was a nugget that I somehow didn't know in the Pitino that in his adultery/mistress extortion case- Pitino sent a university-employed aid to get the woman an abortion, and the aid and the woman ended up falling in love and getting married after the abortion. Why isn't there a Lifetime movie about this already?

Louisville has to be careful because it kind of sounds like Pitino is gearing up to pull a Jim O'Brien here. That dude sued Ohio State for like $3m for wrongful termination after he paid a prospective Serbian player, because OSU fired him without an NCAA investigation.
