Louisville has lost its 2013 national title.

The day has finally arrived.

We all knew the Louisville Cardinals would hear of their final punishment from the NCAA very soon, and it finally came Tuesday at noon.

The NCAA announced it had upheld its previous ruling that the school must vacate men’s basketball records in which student-athletes competed while ineligible during the 2011-12 through 2014-15 seasons, which includes a vacation of the 2013 NCAA Championship banner.

The punishment is in regards to the scandal covered in the book Breaking Cardinal Rules.

The book details incidences in which former Louisville basketball players and staff member Andre McGee paid for prostitutes and strip parties for players and recruits, some which were minors at the time.
