No, Louisville Isn’t Getting the Death Penalty

It all starts on the day that the FBI/college basketball probe broke back last September, when I sent out this tweet, embedded below.

I dont believe in the death penalty for college sports. But if this doesnt warrant it, I dont know what would https://t.co/Uf5rYKF9N3

Honestly, once I hit send, I didn’t think anything of it. Anyone with even a surface-level understanding of NCAA rules should have known that it wasn’t a stretch to say that Louisville’s actions warranted the death penalty – even if they would almost certainly never receive it.
