The NCAA didn’t even buy Louisville dinner first before proceeding to absolutely fuck them.

In case anyone forgot how confusing and cruel the NCAA is when it comes to punishing programs, this Louisville case should be a nice reminder.

The NCAA is vacating 123 wins from Louisville, including a 2012 Final Four appearance and most importantly their 2013 National Championship. This makes them the first school in the Final Four era to have to vacate a Natty.

And for what? Paying for some recruits to have a good time? Honestly, this just sounds like a weekend at Dirty Myrtle to me. It’s just their friendly way of saying “Come play for Louisville because we (literally) fuck”

I can understand postseason bans, fines and even coaches being suspended, but vacating wins? This is just one of the stupidest punishments out there. Does this mean Michigan didn’t lose in the national championship game that we all watched? Do Louisville players have to give their rings back? Hell, did Kevin Ware even break his leg?

Rick Pitino even has a tattoo that says “2013 National Champions.” So why stop at vacating wins? The NCAA might as well send a representative to Pitino’s house to vacate his tattoo, as well. That makes just as much sense.

Maybe Louisville should have asked North Carolina for advice on how to completely fuck up but still get away with it.
