Louisville athletics director Vince Tyra discusses the notice of allegations the school received from the NCAA and clarifies that these claims should not be tied to coach Chris Mack or current student-athletes.
Louisville received a notice of allegations from the NCAA on Monday, including one Level I allegation involving improper recruiting offers for former signee Brian Bowen II and the coach of another prospect and three Level II allegations, including one against former basketball coach Rick Pitino.
Louisville also is accused of failing to adequately monitor the recruitment of an incoming, high-profile student-athlete. The NCAA alleges that Pitino, who recently was hired at Iona , did not satisfy his head coach responsibility when he failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance.
Former assistant coaches Kenny Johnson and Jordan Fair are accused of providing impermissible benefits and transportation and having impermissible contact with a recruit.
Louisville officials and the former coaches have 90 days to respond to the NCAA. Its decisions are final, and there are no appeals.
