LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Five former University of Louisville basketball players and recruits told Outside the Lines that they attended parties at a campus dorm from 2010 to 2014 that included strippers paid for by the team's former graduate assistant coach, Andre McGee.
One of the former players said he had sex with a dancer after McGee paid her. Each of the players and recruits attended different parties at Billy Minardi Hall, where dancers, many of whom stripped naked, were present. Three of the five players said they attended parties as recruits and also when they played for Louisville.
Said one of the recruits, who ultimately signed to play elsewhere: "I knew they weren't college girls. It was crazy. It was like I was in a strip club."

A book, "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen,"
published this month by self-described former escort Katina Powell, 42, details nearly two dozen stripping and sex parties from 2010 to 2014 inside Billy Minardi Hall, the on-campus dorm for athletes and other students named for Louisville men's basketball head coach Rick Pitino's late brother-in-law. Powell, who first spoke to Indianapolis Business Journal Book Publishing,
has said that McGee arranged the parties and paid her $10,000 for supplying dancers during the time period.
Powell told Outside the Lines in an extensive interview that McGee also supplied cash for "side deals," which included sex with some recruits, guardians who accompanied them on visits and some Louisville players.
Wow.

Ole Rick is slipping - at UK they paid all the "girls" in advance so none of the money changes hands in sight of the recruits/prospects...

We just tell our recruits that Ruston is close to Bernice
I can't believe I just made that joke.
Re: Louisville Recruits: "It was like a strip club"
Question for the recruits: Was it like a good strip club or a bad strip club?
Re: Louisville Recruits: "It was like a strip club"
Pitino had his own sex scandal before the latest one started. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=4392828
Re: Louisville Recruits: "It was like a strip club"

I know. I waited for 967 to make that joke, but he let down the side. I don't think he is married to a Berniconian
Re: Louisville Recruits: "It was like a strip club"
Today Louisville's appeal was denied. The biggest penalty upheld is the are no longer 2012-13 National Champions! First time in NCAA D-1 basketball history that has happened. Also they have to return money from 4 NCAA tournaments, which could be as much as $15 million.
