RebKell's Junkie Boards

there is this new and particularly nasty one at Louisville.

One wonders whether something this sleazy involving the MBB program could potentially have an impact on WBB recruiting, or whether any potential "lack of institutional control" sanctions could have a spillover to the women's program.

Typical Louisville, nothing surprising here, more surprised that they have been able to abuse recruiting on both girls and boys for a long time.

Every time people start saying "oh, of course if happened at X University," two words spring to mind:

Sam Gilbert.

This is a unique take on the Louisville situation. Honestly some of this is sort of shocking if true, about the female student athletes not taking some of these issues seriously.

Louisville created and continues to nurture dangerous culture for women: http://www.si.com/college-basketball/2015/10/09/louisville-escort-scandal-ncaa-andre-mcgee-rick-pitino

In 2006, Louisville asked Redmond Brown to visit the school and talk about athletic culture and violence against women.

She has made a lot of those trips over the years, to a lot of athletic departments. She knows a bad reaction when she gets one.

“Sometimes you get a hostility to the message,” she says, and her trip to Louisville was one of those times. Redmond Brown remembers “laughing and snickers and shouting out that you normally don’t see.”

You might think she heard that from the football and men’s basketball players. You would be wrong.

“You’re getting it from the B sports, and from the girls,” Redmond Brown says. “That was much more troubling to me, was to get that from the girls. For the girls to talk to me, being hostile toward the other girls, even their own teammates … when you get that, you start wondering what’s there. You think: Something is not right in this environment.

It's called money and power and if you think that only some of the male athletes are on the receiving end, I think that would be naive. There is a trend there that gives privileges to certain athletes in order to get them there and keep them there (specifically women as guys are 1 and done). For how much we are hearing, there must be many more instances that haven't been exposed. The biggest issues are that coaches think they are untouchable and that is a mentality of the university. Some of the same goes on at a lot of universities, it just hasn't been exposed, although we are hearing some of the extreme, I hope!

HAHAHA so thats what you pick on in this whole thread, too funny, they can fuck everyone but god forbid they are not 1 and done. Most guys who play basketball think they are going to the NBA. Whether they make it or not, the type of recruits Louisville, Kentucky, Duke etc go after are wined and dined and bedded as it now is out.

Five ex-Louisville basketball players and recruits told OTL of parties at a dorm from 2010-14 that included strippers paid for by the team's graduate assistant coach

So are we just doing those that have hit the news stands or all those simmering, as I just heard of another which could change some of the girls programs?

Of course they knew. All the top teams get players by getting boosters/club go betweens to come to their schools by giving bonuses to them for signing. Sometimes they are called NBA loans LOL. Hookers, they probably thought they were being very creative, or the type of players they were recruiting seemed to find that attractive, just like Walz and his billboards hehe. I wonder when the drug scene will come to lite as it appears that there are some where drugs like Aderrall is the current preference for performance enhancement.

OTL interviewed Katina Powell about all of this on their program today. They also interviewed her two daughters who were involved in this...(there was a third that was also involved but who wasn't interviewed).

So yeah, not to get lost in the Louisville/Pitino side of this, is a woman WHO PIMPED OUT HER OWN DAUGHTERS.

Seriously, WTF.

And her youngest daughter, who was not interviewed, would have been 15 when all of this began. Katina Powell admits that all three of her daughters were paid for sex at some point, but that they were all adults at the time. While it is feasible that the youngest was only included in the family business after she turned 18, that is a very eyebrow-raising circumstance. And even if it did happen after 18, it raises some serious questions about grooming....
