Who’s ready for Louisville not to receive any resolution from the NCAA/IARP for more than five years since the FBI’s “probe into college basketball” first broke in Sept. of 2017?
How many hands are raised? No one? Nobody?
The NCAA does not care.
According to the Courier-Journal’s Tim Sullivan, “two sources familiar with Louisville’s case” have confirmed that U of L’s hearing date with the IARP has been set for June 17-19.
For comparison’s sake, NC State’s hearing with the IARP took place on Aug. 9-10, 2021, and the school received its punishment 132 days later. If that timeline holds true for the U of L case — and to be clear, there’s no evidence that it will or will not — Louisville would be receiving its punishment from the NCAA on or around Oct. 27.
We defeated Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and the Empire of Japan in WWII, and produced 295,959 aircraft, 2,020 large ships, and 108,410 tanks and mechanized guns in less time than determining if someone obtained financial benefits to attend a school.

So Louisville’s third head coach since this whole thing broke will be right on the precipice of beginning his first season on the job when these punishments are going to be released.
Par for the course.
