The Louisville men's basketball team has been stripped of its 2013 national championship title as well as its 2012 Final Four appearance after the NCAA denied the school's appeal on Tuesday.

The penalties, which were originally announced in June, stemmed from an investigation into allegations that a former Louisville staff member provided strippers to entertain players and recruits during on-campus dormitory parties between 2011 and 2015.

Yeah, whatever. I guess you think Michigan should be awarded the title in absence of Louisville.

The scoreboard won’t change. have fun with your mental participation trophy.

“And yet UNC scates”
You are EXACTLY right! NOTHING EVER sticks to UNC. Makes me wonder why they never get fines or penalties. 13 years of passing studen athletes on without going to classes. No problem!!!

This is the tip of the iceberg. By the time the NCAA is done with these sneaker investigations, Oberlin College will be a #1 seed in the Midwest Region.

15 second Rick is about the sleaziest POS to ever stroll onto a basketball court.

When did erasing history become the punishment of choice?

To me, it is moronic.

[Davy Crocket]

Well it sounds like they had a good time. Let them be men.

I've always found these type of rulings rather ridiculous. The 2013 Louisville Team reaped the benefits of victory, enjoyed the celebrations, went on graduated and enjoyed any professional benefits of being the 2013 NAACP winners. The "damage" is done and can't be reversed, changing a name in a book and maybe taking a dusty trophy out of some forgotten trophy cabinet isn't going to change it...

It's worse than that, it's idiotic.

Do they want everyone to pretend the game never had a final score?

Every game played in the history of Michigan State is next.

Papa John...the pizza guy?

[fatez]

Yes, because its CU’s fault that Mizzou and the refs can’t count to 5...

[Crucial]

This ruling comes from the transgender championing NCAA. They are Leftist idiots.

"Colorado Buffaloes’ 1990 victory over the Missouri Tigers ON 5th DOWN, and their SHARE OF the national championship that year". A little fix to your post is warranted, it's important to point out that GA Tech won a deserved share of the National Championship that year from the "right thinking" football poll. And point out the ineptitude of the officiating crew that can't count to 4 and stop. It is a little known fact that this crew later went on to rule that ooBomma was indeed qualified to be pResident.

Your school cheated, AND you deserved to lose. You must be so proud. Check out the cleanest block ever, that was called a foul (one of three simply awful calls given to your team, even your point guard said he was never touched). And no, our coach is too classy and clean to be an ass such as you seem to be: http://www.detroitnews.com/sports/

Thanks, did not recall the mixed share of the title.

Papa John...the pizza guy?

The one and the same. Gave enough to the school to have the football stadium named after his company.

I know the fella's a stand up Christian and what not, but he's poisoning the world with his awful pizza and semi-pro college football team.

Imagine all of the couches that were burned in vain.

[BluegrassCardinal]

No amount of whining will change the results. Burke’s block or foul on Siva probably wouldn’t change the result of the game. Now, run along arrogant Michigan fan, or probably a Kentucky fan, in all honesty.

[Lakeshark]

Such an arrogant ass. You don't get it, your team was caught cheating and stripped of a title it didn't deserve. Your team cheats, your school is rightfully embarrassed and chastised, your coach is gone. You shouldn't have won the game you shouldn't have been in anyway, yet you keep on as if you actually did something good. A program that rightfully may never return to winning form, and you're proud. Penn State proud.

Congrats on being an oblivious ahole. You, and your pathetic school, make Hillary look good.

Go Kentucky. For decades you'll lose badly to them and everyone else.
