Thanks. What's the penalty for something like this, if true?

Seems to me there are more than just NCAA problems if true. A hooker can't get out of legal trouble by admitting to it. Underage sex is illegal and can't be dismissed by admission. Extortion can't be dismissed even if admitted to. We are leaving it up to the investigators. AM will have a press conference I am sure.
We basically have to rely on others to say what is true and what is not and go from there. If we did something wrong, we deserve what we get no questions asked.

No question, if true then Pitino has to be fired & accept any penalties from the NCAA. I would like to know what the evidence is & how is IU involved. The accuser has legal trouble of her own to answer to wether it's prostitution or extortion.

If WHAT is true, why does CRP has to be fired? What the hell are you talking about? Did you watch the news conference?
What IU boosters knew and when they knew and how IU is involved will all be brought to light or not. Watch the news conference please.

From IU AD:

I listened to the news conference & I'm aware that coach denies knowledge but he is still the HC & he is responsible for what happens in his program. IF these allegations are true & are deemed serious by the NCAA then yes he should be fired wether he knew about it or not.

The IU booster is the owner of the publishing co?

Interesting finding:

^^^So they believed in the book so much that they created a whole new publishing company to print it! Very interesting. It's amazing how fast this book is falling apart.

Why am I not surprised

What we know about the investigation. You're telling me she did this for 10% of the book sales?

An additional good article to give perspective on this situation:

TWill & Luuuuuuuke speak out.

Here's what TWll told TMZ;

"I am not a part of that. To Louisville I am f**king Elvis Presley. So why would I pay anybody for anything?"

"Motherf**kers pay me for pictures and handshakes. And that's not being cocky, 'cause I don't play around with my blessing. I'm very honored to be in that position in Louisville. Louisville is the greatest city, the fans are great, Rick Pitino is great."

He's not finished ... Williams says Katina Powell -- the woman behind the book -- is nothing more than a thirsty, money hungry liar looking for a pay day.

"Nobody's gonna pay attention to a b*tch searching for money. So you make up stuff, and you put out all these allegations. If my name's on anything, provide proof."

"At the end of the day when the smoke clears, she's going to go to jail. You need to be put under the f**king jail. You need to be put in a black f**king hole in Langley."

Terrence says he's got a team of lawyers evaluating his legal options -- and says he's also furious that his former coach Rick Pitino and his close friend Andre McGee are being dragged through the mud.

"Andre's the most kind hearted person ever. And Rick Pitino, he's Rick Pitino! A Hall of Famer, a legend ... he don't need to buy any kid p*ssy to get him to commit to the University of Louisville. It's a privilege to play there."

Ralph Willard is taking a medical leave of absence from the team.

At least one local media member decided to start to look into the allegations a little closer:
