The escort who accused the Louisville Cardinals basketball team of enticing recruits with prostitutes said she tried to alert the NCAA, but the organization opted not to listen to her, the Indianapolis Business Journal reported Monday.

Katina Powell told the Business Journal that she met resistance when she called the NCAA in mid-March.

"I called the NCAA in mid-March, I spoke with a young white guy, and I was telling him that I had a story about a college that was trading sex and all that stuff for money," Powell told the publication in an interview in September.
