I don't think there is any doubts about it.

-- The man behind the book claiming to expose sex and escorts in University of Louisville basketball is speaking out.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who wrote "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen," said he stands behind the shocking allegations.

"The book has been thoroughly vetted," Dick Cady said. "We weren't trying to hide motivation."

Cady has written six books and spent more than 40 years in the newspaper business. On Sunday, he spoke with WDRB,

"Just because she was a whore, so-called, that doesn't mean she ain't telling the truth," Cady said during a phone interview.

Cady says Katina Powell, a self-proclaimed madam, came to the Indianapolis Business Journal book division in April.

She brought along her journals that claim she was paid for providing escort services to U of L players, recruits and some of their fathers from 2010 to 2014.

"Well, I read it to find out whether or not it was believable and whether or not it would be provable,” Cady said.

Cady says that he and a publisher met with Powell 40 to 50 times during a six-month period. From phone calls and text messages to receipts and pictures, Cady says they have the proof.

The NCAA now has questioned a former Louisville recruit who now plays for Ohio State.

— The NCAA has talked with Ohio State freshman JaQuan Lyle, whose recruitment by Louisville is mentioned in a book by an escort alleging that strippers danced and had sex with Cardinals players and prospects.

OSU spokesman Dan Wallenberg confirmed via email that Lyle met Tuesday with the NCAA, as first reported Wednesday by Yahoo Sports. The email did not mention Louisville, but noted there were no issues at Ohio State.

Former Cardinals forward Chane Behanan didn't have much to say Wednesday about allegations in Katina Powell's book, "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen," that he participated in shows paid for by former basketball staffer Andre McGee.

Behanan says, "all I know is what I've heard" in the book, in which he is pictured with Powell.

Catmandoo, I heard Mike Decourcy of the sporting news talk about it on the radio and he said he doesn't believe Pitino knew anything about it. lol He also said Pitino's job will definitely be safe. lol!!!

hoot, Pitino had to know about it and wouldn't believe him any further than I could throw him. He is pond scum, always has been and always will be. I do believe however Louisville will keep him no matter what nefarious deeds he has or ever will do in the future.

You echo my sentiments to a tee Bruce, good post.

There is no doubt in my mind that Pitino knew about this. He's too much of a micro manager to not know that this is going on.

Grant it, he might not have known all the sordid details involving the girls. But he knew the escort stuff was going on!

Knowing him he probably knew the sordid details too.
