Former Louisville Cardinals acknowledge stripper parties

Former Louisville graduate assistant coach Andre McGee has been at the center of an escort scandal and it seems as though that story has now gotten a lot deeper. Five former Cardinal basketball players and recruits admitted to attending a party with strippers paid for by the coach.

In the extensive Outside The Lines report, one of the anonymous recruits claimed he had sex with a dance after McGee paid her. A former escort, Katina Powell, sat down with ESPN’s John Barr to discuss her new book “Breaking the Cardinal Rule: Basketball and the Escort Queen” in which she describes over two dozen parties at Billy Minardi Hall, the Lousiville dorm where athletes and other students live named after the late brother-in-law of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino.
