Interim Louisville coach David Padgett said he wished the NCAA had waited until after this basketball season to issue its ruling that stripped the program of the 2013 national title and handed down multiple other punishments.
"It was something that none of (Louisville's current players) were even here for," Padgett told reporters Tuesday. "I don't want to go on a tangent about the NCAA, but the least they could have done is wait another month or so until our season is over. With what these players have been through this year, for them to have to go through another thing like this, it's not fair to them.
