Louisville NOA released - Lenvillecards - 10-20-2016 08:58 AM
No lack of institutional control & NCAA deems that coach Pitino did not know. News conference scheduled for noon today.
http://www.cardchronicle.com/2016/10/20/13342092/louisville-basketball-scandal-ncaa-notice-allegations-violations-punishment
Louisville has been charged with four Level One violations, which are the most serious types of violations according to the NCAA's infrastructure. U of L was not, however, hit with a Failure to Monitor or Lack of Institutional Control charge, the two most significant allegations that can be made by the NCAA.
In the NOA, the NCAA alleges that Andre McGee, who was hit with two Level One charges, "arranged for and/or provided impermissible inducements, offers and/or extra benefits in the form of adult entertainment, sex acts and/or cash" to at least 17 recruits or current players, two AAU coaches and one friend of a recruit. The value of those impermissible benefits, according to the NCAA, totaled at least $5,400.
The NCAA also charged Rick Pitino with a Level One violation for failure to adequately monitor McGee, a charge which U of L has already said it will contest. Should Louisville not argue its case effectively, Pitino could be open to receiving the same type of in-game suspension that the NCAA gave Syracuse's Jim Boeheim and SMU's Larry Brown.
The fourth and final Level One violation centers around former program assistant Brandon Williams, who is charged with refusing to provide information relevant to the NCAA's investigation.

Statement from acting president Dr Pinto.
http://www.uoflsports.com/news/2016/10/20/general-ncaa-notice-of-allegations-released.aspx
"As parents and university leaders who care about every student who comes to the University of Louisville, we are heartbroken that inappropriate behavior took place here. It saddens us tremendously. We promised that if something was done wrong, we would be open about it, acknowledge it, and correct it.
From the beginning, no one wanted to know the truth more than UofL and that's why we immediately notified the NCAA Enforcement Staff and worked diligently with them to determine what took place. It's why we retained NCAA consultant Chuck Smrt and outside counsel Steve Thompson to determine the facts.
We are now in receipt of the NCAA's Notice of Allegations (NOA). This is the next step in a process that will end with our appearance before the Committee on Infractions in the spring of 2017. We have 90 days to determine our specific position on each allegation and prepare a written response.
From the start, the NCAA Enforcement Staff had our full cooperation. Its staff and our investigators spoke to numerous Louisville employees and third parties, and the university produced every document requested by the NCAA. We are disappointed that former Director of Basketball Operations Andre McGee did not cooperate.
These allegations underscore why it was appropriate for the university to self-impose strict penalties on our basketball program earlier this year.
The NOA aligns with the results of our inquiry: improper activities took place in a dormitory that never should have occurred. When the facts were established, we acted. We took appropriate punitive and corrective actions. The penalties we imposed were among the most severe penalties ever self-imposed by a NCAA member.
It is important to note what is not being alleged. The NOA does not contain an allegation that Coach Pitino had knowledge of what took place in the dormitory. The NCAA does not allege a 'lack of institutional control' at Louisville, a very severe allegation. The NCAA does not allege that there was a 'failure to monitor' against the institution, also a severe allegation. The NCAA does not allege that Coach Pitino failed to 'promote an atmosphere of compliance', a serious allegation. The NOA does contain a narrower allegation – which we will dispute - that Coach Pitino failed to demonstrate that he monitored Mr. McGee.
We believe that Mr. McGee acted furtively and note that the NOA does not indicate that any other university employee besides Mr. McGee had knowledge of these activities. We are confident in Coach Pitino and we know he is and always has been committed to NCAA compliance.
The entire episode is a deep disappointment to all of us who love this university. We appreciate the NCAA's efforts and we regret tremendously that this took place. Everyone who works here knows it can never happen again. We will continue to work cooperatively with the NCAA for the final resolution of this matter."

I bet Ramsey and Jurich are now second guessing their decision to sit out the NCAA tourney last season, since the school was not hit with any infractions. Its crazy to think if Louisville had played in the tourney how much the ACC could have made in additional tourney credits

Loved UC basketball in the 90's but I'm not a UC fan. I like their board because it is the most active one around here.

You've been given negative rep points by four separate individuals in the last three weeks. That takes some trolling talent and shows me all I need to know about you.

We definitely are.
And then we'll enjoy hoops season.
And then we'll enjoy baseball season.
And then after a short break that seems like it lasts forever, we'll be back to enjoying Lamar Jackson's last season in a Cardinal uniform.
Rinse, and repeat.

This upcoming bb season is going to be incredible for the ACC, now that all the teams are going to be able to play. If all the teams invited to the tourney could perform at least as good as last season, its going to be crazy.

What is this supposed to mean? You do realize there is no chance of a tourney ban or anything like that right? No LOIC, no charges against the school at all. The worst is long gone. Strange post.

If there were even a remote possibility that the banner was on the line we would have yanked it ourself. We over punished ourself as is. Bad things happened and we are sorry. We just became the model of how to conduct yourself during an NCAA investigation. I ask you to compare the steps we took and the measures we took once the hint of allegations were discovered to ANY other University.

Local news reporting that Pitino was charged with "failure to monitor."
