Who knows.. I’m just happy for once the NCAA did the right thing In not punishing KP and these current kids. Pumped the tracks have been cleared for the Payne train https://t.co/eiCOzYQI4i

Josh Heird on waiting so long: "That was a lot of the punishment. As positive of a day as this is, we can't forget the last five years, and what it's done to this program: the millions of dollars that this program has spent, the millions of dollars that this program has lost." pic.twitter.com/hUYVvX7aBv

SOURCES: Louisville’s athletic department to announce that they’ll be paying the $5,000 fine solely from the ticket sales from people who wear UK shirts to UofL games in which UK isn’t playing.

Working to confirm.

I agree it does look like a slap onthe wrist for UL but if you look at where UL Basketball and Athletics in general was when this happened to now, I think you can make a pretty good argument they have already suffered enough

The IARP says "The institution (Louisville) never requested any assistance with recruiting (from Adidas)"

Added there was "grossly underwhelming information that there was knowledge that this was taking place" https://t.co/pjco9EVLaO

The IARP did not believe Brian Bowen Sr when he testified in court that Kenny Johnson gave him $1,300 citing his changing stories and lack of clarity and consistency in details. pic.twitter.com/lM83SVCkdX

Pitino says he's 'disappointed' Louisville didn't dig in its heels with the NCAA more like Kansas and UNC.

"Yes I am very disappointed in that.

"North Carolina really dug in their heels, Louisville did not." https://t.co/hV38qnwZiX

I think Louisville’s probably paid enough penalty already but the IARP is really mailing it in. What a scam. https://t.co/AdM17AeT2b
