The University of Louisville and the NCAA is investigating allegations in an upcoming book that a former staffer paid for escorts to have sex with recruits and players, the school announced on Friday.
According to a report from Yahoo!, the book alleges that former grad assistant and director of basketball ops Andre McGee paid a madam thousands of dollars over a four-year period, and hosted 19 parties for Louisville and McGee.
The book alleges that over a four-year period, Powell brought women into Billy Minardi Hall – the basketball dormitory on the Louisville campus that is named after Pitino's late brother-in-law – through a side door to entertain players and recruits.
