This isn't good for our rivals.

Yesterday Ohio State confirmed that they had met and talked to freshman point guard JaQuan Lyle about allegations that he took part in a scandal involving the University of Louisville and paid escorts. Lyle committed to the Cardinals shortly after his visit, but he later decommitted and eventually wound up at Ohio State.

Gary Parrish of CBS News broke the story that Lyle confirmed that something related to the content of the book "Breaking Cardinal Rules" did happen while he visited the university.

Ohio State freshman JaQuan Lyle spoke with an NCAA investigator this week about his recruiting visit to Louisville in June 2013 and confirmed the gist of allegations involving paid escorts during his trip to the school, a source with knowledge of the NCAA's investigation told CBS Sports on Thursday morning.
