I haven't seen any discussion of the ongoing investigation of the sex scandal involving the Louisville men's basketball program on UM's basketball forums (http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/14009597/subpoenas-issued-louisville-basketball-probe). Given that the scandal involves recruiting during the 2010-2014 time period, it seems possible that Louisville's national championship could be taken away by the NCAA. Could UM subsequently be awarded the championship?
From the ESPN article:
"Earlier this month, 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 McGee."
"One of those former players said he had sex with a dancer after McGee paid her. Each of the players and recruits attended different parties at 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."
There is a book by Katina Powell detailing the allegations, called "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen." The story gets weird as several women mentioned in the book have filed a lawsuit against Powell, as apparently they don't like being called prostitutes (go figure).
From http://www.cardchronicle.com/2015/1...ball-scandal-women-named-in-book-join-lawsuit:
"Nash, Richardson, Burnley, Martin and Bolden say that Powell, Cady and IBJ Book Publishing wrongfully label them as prostitutes -- a claim the five of them refute."
