The 2nd OTL about the U of L MBB program aired yesterday morning......


Here is a article from the courier-journal.



Three former Louisville basketball recruits confirmed Katina Powell's claims to NCAA investigators in October and November, ESPN's 'Outside the Lines' reported Sunday morning in a tandem television segment and online story.

An anonymous source close to the investigation told ESPN that having three recruits on the record made the organization's investigation of U of L's hoops program a "slam dunk" case, and that it is "much worse" than academic fraud.

Louisville self-imposed a postseason ban in early February after private investigator Chuck Smrt found enough evidence of wrongdoing for U of L president James Ramsey to believe NCAA violations occurred.

"There's no question this stuff happened," a source told ESPN. "There's no question the people at the University of Louisville know this happened. Katina Powell is not an admirable person, but she told the truth."

The "Outside the Lines" television segment Sunday morning didn't break a ton of new ground in the story surrounding Katina Powell and Louisville's basketball program, though reporter John Barr and a cameraman did find the former U of L staffer at the center of Powell's allegations.

Andre McGee is an ex-player and director of basketball operations who Powell claims bankrolled stripper parties and "side deals," or sex, with players and recruits. McGee, the report said, gave each player or recruit in the room between $200-$500 at the parties.

McGee, now an Uber driver in Kansas City, Mo., told Barr, "My name will be cleared," before asking him and his cameraman to leave his car and speak to his lawyer, Scott C. Cox.

Multiple sources have told The Courier-Journal that the NCAA had not interviewed McGee at least as recently as February, and Barr said on "Outside the Lines" that he didn't believe McGee would, because he is no longer a coach and the NCAA cannot compel him to speak to investigators. McGee resigned from his job as an assistant at UMKC in October.

The NCAA interviewed Powell a second time last week, and she told ESPN that investigators seemed to be focusing in on the money involved and who helped McGee. In her book, "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen," Powell refers to a character called "Coach Mike," allegedly a U of L assistant coach who spoke to her about arranging parties.

Powell told ESPN that she "got the strong impression" the NCAA may know who "Coach Mike" is, though Barr said Powell's lawyer, Larry Wilder, wasn't as strong in his words.

Powell also said current Louisville big man Mangok Mathiang, a redshirt junior whose picture is in Powell's book, did stop by one of the parties McGee allegedly held at the Minardi Hall dormitory on U of L's campus, but he didn't participate in the activities there and left after taking photos in the hallway with the women.

ESPN previously reported that coach Rick Pitino would be interviewed by NCAA investigators in April, though he and a U of L spokesman both said they weren't aware of a scheduled interview

Initially, the 'Smoking Gun' was confirming the text messages from Andre McGee to Katina Powell..... The NCAA did that and that is why U of L self-imposed the post-season ban this year.

Now, the new 'Smoking Gun' is confirming the money trail that paid for the strippers/prostitutes.

These are the U of L players that are directly named in the book "Breaking Cardinal Rules" by Katina Powell. Powell does say that not all of the players named participated in sexual activity. The bolded are players from their 2013 National Championship team. The bolded & underlined were starters on the 2013 team.

Chane Behanan (page 33)
Andre McGee (page 9)
George Goode (page 35)
Terrance Jennings (page 35)
Montrezl Harrell (page 75)
Russ Smith (page 96)
Wayne Blackshear (page 96)
Peyton Siva (page 99)
JaQuan Lyle (page 106)
Earl Clark (113)
Antonio Blakeney (page 122)



If the NCAA has any desire to ever be taken seriously and not turn college athletics in to the 'Wild West'..... they have to vacate U of L's 2013 MBB championship and impose some near program ending sanctions. If the NCAA lets U of L by with a self-imposed one year ban on post-season play, then the FBI or Office of the Inspector General needs to do a full audit/investigation on the NCAA. Because that will set a precedent of allowing other teams and other sports to replicate what U of L did.

A bottom feeder program will gladly take a one year post-season ban to get 5 Star recruits and take a chance on making a championship run the next few seasons.

The problem is is the NCAA is a bottom feeder and worthless organization lol

It would be hilarious if they stripped them of that title which is highly unlikely.

However, we will always have this. That's the best part. UuhhL will never be able get over this.

These are the ONLY two scenarios for U of L's 2013 National Championship.


- The NCAA allows U of L to keep their 2013 title..... we will always know, for a fact, that U of L cheated. And the history books will show an * beside their title.

- The NCAA vacates U of L's 2013 title for using ineligible players on that team.
