After waiting more than five years, the Louisville men’s basketball program finally found out its fate from the NCAA’s Independent Accountability Resolution Process (IARP) on Thursday.
U of L, like Memphis and NC State before it, has dodged major sanctions. The Cardinals were hit with a $5,000 fine, a small reduction in recruiting days and two years of probation. The program was NOT hit with any sort of postseason ban, and former head coaches Rick Pitino and Chris Mack avoided any sort of punishment.
Former assistant coaches Kenny Johnson (now at Rhode Island) and Jordan Fair were both assessed two-year show-cause penalties.
