Rick Pitino to speak to NCAA in April about Louisville scandal

Louisville coach Rick Pitino will speak next month to NCAA investigators for the first time about allegations of sex parties involving Cardinals players and recruits, ESPN.com reported Thursday, citing an unidentified source.

Pitino has yet to meet with NCAA officials regarding the allegations made by former escort Katina Powell in her tell-all book "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen," in which she claims that Andrew McGee, a member of Louisville's staff at the time, arranged through her and paid for sex parties with strippers from 2010-14 at the basketball team's dormitory.
