From Interim President Postel:
Dear UofL Family,
Today the NCAA Infractions Appeals Committee upheld earlier penalties imposed on the University of Louisville, including vacation of victories from 2011 to 2015. That includes the 2013 national championship and the 2012 Final Four appearance.
I cannot say this strongly enough: We believe the NCAA is simply wrong.
We disagree with the NCAA ruling for reasons we clearly stated in our appeal. And we made a strong case - based on NCAA precedent - that supported our argument.
From Day One, the university has admitted that the actions of the former operations director and any others involved under previous leadership were offensive and inexcusable.
