A group of former Louisville basketball players is suing the NCAA, pertaining to its redaction of the Cardinals’ 2013 national championship.

The plaintiffs in the suit include Luke Hancock, Tim Henderson, Minnesota Timberwolves center Gorgui Dieng, Stephan Van Treese, and Michael Marra, all of whom were part of the 2012-13 Cardinals team.

Below is an excerpt from the suit Luke Hancock, Gorgui Dieng, Stephan Van Treese, Tim Henderson, and Michael Marra vs. the NCAA, provided to SB Nation from representing attorney Mike Morgan of the law firm Morgan & Morgan

As part of that broad representation, the NCAA led the Plaintiffs to believe that any and all wins, championships, awards, honors and achievements the Plaintiffs earned as eligible student-athletes would be theirs, in perpetuity, absent a specific finding that they, individually, were ineligible.

62. In reliance on the NCAA’s representations, the Plaintiffs worked innumerable hours and endured other, numerous sacrifices in order to maintain their eligible status and accomplish high achievements all the while benefiting the NCAA both in reputation and monetarily.

63. The Plaintiffs earned the right to be called champions and Plaintiff Hancock earned the right to be forever known as the 2012-2013 MOP

64. Despite no wrongdoing or improper conduct by the Plaintiffs, the NCAA, without just cause, vacated, removed and otherwise impaired the Plaintiffs’ wins, championships and individual honors, awards and recognitions.

65. The NCAA benefited and profited due to its inducement of the Plaintiffs’ work, sacrifice and achievements.

if they win this...I expect USC to appeal their title ban...and I'd like to see Memphis get its 38-2 season back.

It's a team sport. You win as a team. You lose as a team. You get punished as a team. If you don't like the way the school is punished, you shouldn't have chosen the team you did; or maybe you should have spoken up when your teammates were violating rules by getting tons of $$$.

So as long as they treat the hookers with respect .. they are good.

Let's see....You get paid mad cash (6 figures in college, get prostitutes, and get to fly your family around on road trips with hotel, etc) but you want your "championship".

Someone wake up drunk Papa and let him know

Where did it all go wrong for papa john? I mean, you don't get to where he's gotten in the business world being a total idiot... do you?

I wonder if this is a case of reaching the pinnacle and having no more worlds to conquer, so he just has a lot of idle time on his hands.

Or... is he just some Tommy boy total idiot that's lucked out his whole life??
