Comes now news we have all been expecting, and Louisville fans have been dreading — A Level I Notice of Allegations against the Louisville men’s basketball program related to the FBI investigation into college basketball pay-for-play. Louisville wound up at the epicenter of this investigation when it was revealed that Adidas arranged a $100,000 payment to then-recruit Brian Bowen Jr. in return for accepting a scholarship offer from then-coach Rick Pitino to play at Louisville. Apparently, Bowen was receiving such offers from several schools, including Arizona, Oklahoma State, Texas and Creighton.
Sports Illustrated goes on to describe the charge thus:
A Level One allegation said former head coach Rick Pitino “did not satisfy his head coach responsibility when he failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance.” The notice also included a Level Two “failure to cooperate allegation against the former head coach.”
Other allegations against Louisville include a Level I allegation that boosters (in this case, Adidas employees and executives, among others) provided impermissible aid; a Level II allegation that former men’s basketball staff members provided impermissible benefits; a Level II allegation of failure to monitor and finally, a Level II violation of failure to cooperate, also against Pitino.
