Louisville has gotten off easy in its pay-for-play scandal first uncovered back in 2017.
The NCAA’s Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP) has handed down its ruling to the Cardinals, with the program receiving no postseason ban, a $5,000 fine, a small reduction in recruiting days and two years of probation.
Rick Pitino and Chris Mack will not be punished for their respective involvements.
Former Louisville assistant Kenny Johnson, now at Rhode Island with Archie Miller, has been hit with a two-year show-cause that will keep him off the recruiting trail. Fellow former assistant Jordan Fair also earned a two-year show-cause.
