An eventful Friday afternoon for the Louisville men’s basketball picked up more steam in federal court. Hours after the university announced a six-game suspension for Chris Mack, former assistant Dino Gaudio was sentenced by a perplexed federal judge in the highly publicized extortion case.
Months after Gaudio pleaded guilty to interstate communication with the intent to extort, U.S. District Judge Benjamin Beaton issued a minimum sentence to the former UofL assistant. He received one year of probation and a $10,000 fine.
The sentencing hearing was not your run of the mill, uneventful afternoon in court.
