Louisville’s 2013 national basketball championship stricken from history as NCAA denies school’s appeal

An NCAA appeals committee announced Tuesday that it has rejected the appeal of sanctions against the University of Louisville men’s basketball program and the school must vacate wins during the 2011-12 through 2014-15 seasons, including its 2013 NCAA Tournament title.

Louisville has scheduled a press conference to respond.
