I searched but didn't find this story on FR.

Unbelievable (but all too believable) scandal at Louisville. Women hired by Louisville basketball coach to procure "escorts" for team members and recruiting prospects.

Her name is Katina Powell. She apparently counted three of her own daughters among her contractor workforce. She's written a book about her activities, and has now lawyered up, is demanding immunity before she will cooperate with law enforcement.

Tommy Sotomayor is on it.

Gee you become stripper and pimp out your under aged daughters, is it really that surprising that you are not automatically listened to by respectable people? Who would have thought such a thing.

Could be a hoax, always a possibility.

MSM has lots of stories on this though.

Many years ago, when I was in college, there were plenty of co-eds willing to help with recruiting. They even had their own page in the yearbook.

I have no doubt that this goes on and I detest it, but honestly, this woman is out to get her payback front and center...

pimping out her own daughters?...

the reason I hate what she was doing and many others I'm sure is that college sports are supposed to be for COLLEGE kids...not pampered drugged up thugs...nonstudents...place keepers that prevent real college students from playing sports...
