The results of an NCAA probe into the Louisville men’s basketball program regarding a 2017 FBI investigation into corruption in college basketball were released on Thursday, and Louisville avoided major sanctions from the NCAA’s Independent Accountability Review Process (IARP)’s decision.
The former Louisville coach Rick Pitino, who was fired in 2017 after the scandal broke out, spoke to media about the ruling on Thursday. The current Iona coach chose to use the time to also bring up Louisville’s vacated 2013 NCAA tournament title.
The team gave up its basketball title in 2018 after the NCAA denied its appeal.
