CBS Sports: NCAA is taking down Louisville's 2013 title banner; is UNC next?
- Thread starter WACB
- Start date
I love this part:
"This is the biggest NCAA ruling since giving the death penalty to SMU's football program in the 1980s. Maybe this decision forever ruins Louisville basketball like the 1987 decision forever ruined SMU football..."

... For a UK fan, this is intriguing.

Maybe this should be posted over on the hall.
Nah, they're too busy talking about patterson field tickets.
You kidding me? That team hacked, slapped, and grabbed their way to a title. In fact, they're reason the NCAA made contact a point of emphasis the next season. GD rugby
They're going to erase one of the most exciting teams in recent college hoops memory

But you better believe that other schools -- particularly North Carolina, whose 2005 national title feels like it's hanging in the balance a whole lot more today than it was yesterday -- were stunned by the NCAA's punishment.
North Carolina's hits more at the heart of what the NCAA stands for, the marriage of academics and athletics. If you're UNC, you're not feeling any schadenfreude about what happened to your ACC opponent. You just started feeling a bit more uncomfortable.
I love this. Glad the media is starting to write about what we've been saying for years.

In the comments of the article there is the most honest Duke fan ever:

Who cares. The players will be able to tell their children and grandchildren that they won. The little 10 year old grandchild won't say..."hey grandpa...no...your win was vacated."
No one will remember this. In reading the threads below, someone pointed out the Syracuse "punishment". I was like, "oh yeah, i forgot about that". No one remembers.
UNC is safe because they are UNC. I am a Duke fan but their stuff gets swept under the rug (Corey Maggette, Lual Deng, and Lance Thomas are examples). Petino is a huge name...but Louisville is not a huge program. They don't have the power of the powerful. ...sorry. That is not a shot at Card fans either. Just the truth.
He just didn't say that they get special treatment in the NCAA tournament.

Read this earlier. IMO it won't. SMU's penalty hit at the perfect time in history to create the "Perfect Storm." They got hit with their probation in the "industrial revolution" of college sports that laid the framework for what we know today. Conference realignment was happening and TV Markets/deals were forming. Think about how much money and exposure we get just from being affiliated with the SEC and Bowl money. They got left out of all of that and missed the boat by the time they were good to go again and instead got regulated to being a mid major.
Louisville has already climbed out of the Metro conference/CUSA/Big East/AAC and the foundation is there to bounce back. If this hits prior to Big East move or maybe the ACC move then it probably has a similar effect.

I hope like heck it does. But you left the part out where he said "but probably not"
However , we can only hope!
My Facebook newsfeed is gold today. So many salty UL fans. It's epic
When the investigation of UL's money scandal is over, I wonder if the ACC might throw UL out of their conference? UL misled a lot of people on their athletic finances.
