One of the highlight moments of Kevin Keatts’ young coaching career disappeared from the NCAA record books on Tuesday.
Because of recruiting violations that occurred earlier this decade, Louisville must vacate the national championship it won in 2013 when Keatts was an assistant for the Cardinals, the NCAA ruled.
Louisville and the NCAA announced the ruling just after noon on Tuesday. In his first season at N.C. State’s head coach, Keatts was getting ready for a gameday shoot around with his team prior to Tuesday night’s game with Boston College, which N.C. State won 82-66.
“All I’m going to say on it is I’m just disappointed,” Keatts said Tuesday night.
