3 major violations in 7 years, time to shut it down

Louisville's Rick Pitino is facing a big, big problem with corruption scandal

Pat Forde, pretty respected in the college ranks thinks it should be killed too

Every basketball program in America is running scared right now, because this is how business gets done. A lot of people knew it, but nobody was able to lay it out with proof like the feds did on Tuesday. It’s a dirty sport, and today we know how dirty.

The damage to it will be immense and long-lasting. The NCAA will have a hard fight to make anyone believe in its bread-winner sport again. Which is why the first order of business needs to be blasting Louisville basketball into non-existence.

Shut it down.

Louisville basketball deserves death penalty if NCAA allegations are true
 
Yes, everyone in Louisville should be put to death for this heinous and unspeakable sport crime.
 
FFS! Hoes for the players, waitress sex/rape, NCAA recruiting and those gawdawful yellow suits! And now some Adidas cash and they show him the door! Not that this isn't commonplace in the feeder leagues for the professional teams!
 
I'll be surprised if Louisville gets the death penalty. Not because what they are alleged to have done is not terrible, but because I honestly feel that by the time this whole things gets finished, there are going to be a LOT of schools implicated. Already we have six schools implicated (coaches from Auburn, Arizona, Oklahoma State and USC were arrested and both Louisville and Miami have been assumed to be the unnamed universities) and I read somewhere that one of the people involved with bringing the Bowen recruit to Louisville said something to the effect of (paraphrase): "We have to up our offer because another sports wear company is offering more money than us".

There's no way this stopped with only 6 schools. And there's no way Adidas was the only company doing this. If this investigation winds up going where I believe it will go, it's going to get many more universities. I find it hard to believe one school would get a death penalty over something so many schools will likely be implicated in.
 
Where's the crime? Paying people to be employed enrolled at your school is just a signing bonus.

It's not just this incident it's all the others that Louisville had as well

To the best of my knowledge, they only had one other one involving the school/program. And if that one wasn't bad enough to warrant a death penalty, then Louisville simply doing what so many other schools are doing (and I believe will be revealed they are doing before it is over) is just not going to get them the death penalty, I don't believe.

That's the deal with this story. People are focusing on Louisville because of Pitino's name and because of the stripper/prostitute scandal. People seem to be missing the evidence we currently have suggests this is going to be much bigger. The feds aren't finished, far from it. They basically said that the other day. And I think it's going to catch many schools, including many big name schools.

Everyone knows college sports are dirty...I think the day of reckoning for that is near.
