On Tuesday, the NCAA denied an appeal by the University of Louisville, ruling that the school must “vacate” its 2013 national championship title in men’s basketball and its 2012 Final Four appearance. The banners come down from the rafters; the wins are removed from the official history books.
That punishment was the result of a separate scandal from the current “Armageddon” that began in September when the FBI arrested 10 men associated with a widespread bribery scheme. But Louisville is also involved in this bribery probe (arguably it’s at the center, along with two Adidas marketing executives), and both scandals are part of the same larger truth: there is widespread, long-simmering corruption in college basketball. And now it may all finally be coming under the public microscope.
