Anyone with standing can bring litigation. So UL could bring litigation. Pitino can also bring civil litigation against the NCAA as an individual plaintiff. Other member schools and other individuals have sued the NCAA before, with varying amounts of success. Alabama successfully sued the NCAA. But UL must be very careful here. They still have a lot of skeletons in their closet, and there may be future investigations. The NCAA expects contrition and a good faith effort to fix violations to restore proper institutional control. But litigation over an NCAA investigation would demonstrate institutional resistance against the NCAA's due diligence. If UL loses the law suit, this is a path to an eventual death penalty.
