The NCAA may indeed be morally bankrupt. But this feels a lot like the pot calling the kettle black.
A group of former Louisville men's basketball players have filed a lawsuit against the NCAA over the organization's vacation of the Cardinals' 2013 national championship and 2012 Final Four.This will be interesting to watch. Some pretty harsh words quoted against the NCAA, including "Morally bankrupt". Hard to argue that."If all we get is this championship back for Louisville, and the players, and the city, and Luke's MVP back, that's going to be plenty pay for us." -Lawyer John Morgan

Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."

i feel bad for the players, but their argument suxx. They played for a morally bankrupt institution, some of them probably enjoyed the benefit(s) that were deemed against the rules. In fact, no, i don't feel bad for the players.
Feels almost impossible for UNC-CHeat to NOT come up in this lawsuit.
I think the stripping of titles is a pointless exercise. The team and its fans got to experience the incredible high of winning a national title. Yes, bragging rights and banners are great, but the bulk of the benefit is received at the time of the wins, and you can't take away those memories.

'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
I hear Never Nervous Pervis is suing the university for defamation of character for the affiliation with Pitino, restaurant trysts, hookers, KFC YUM CENTER, Adidas, Papa Johns...
Meanwhile, according to CNN:
Rick Pitino has agreed to a deal to coach EuroLeague power Panathinaikos of Greece for the rest of the season, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN on Thursday.
Pitino, a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, is expected to coach his first game on Dec. 27.
Pitino's goal is to return to the NBA as a head coach, and his hope is that the Panathinaikos job can be a steppingstone to achieving that.
In Louisville's defense, they cheated to have a good time. They didn't actually cheat to win games.
It's a bit like cheating to let kids drive fancy rental cars, or cheating to get a kids parent a job and a nice house versus cheating at school work do a kids can get in more practice time on their sport and be less distracted.

After going back and reviewing all the evidence, the NCAA has decided to give Louisville's 2013 title to UNCheat.
[redacted] them and the horses they rode in on.
I know that DBR members are prone to hyperbole when it comes to bad officiating — surely Zion’s DQ against Texas Tech was not the worst call of ALL TIME? — but I think we can all agree that allowing an ineligible-for-12-years Sean May to play in the 2017 championship game would be the worst call of all time.
