Unfortunately the precedent was set last year when they slammed Syracuse and Coach Boeheim with all those penalties. Jim had nothing to do with the rules that were broke but the NCAA deemed him responsible nonetheless. Therefore since Rick Pitino is the coach, whether he knew what was going on or not, he is responsible. The team signed those players utilizing illegal methods, therefore the wins they got with those players should not count.
Obviously I am not a UofL fan, I am a Syracuse fan, and thought their punishment was too heavy so as I said, that is the precedent, and the Cards should get the same treatment, it is only fair. They should have chosen higher grade escorts with more discretion instead of cheap gals that won't hesitate to blow the whistle if they think it will get them a little money and fame.
