Because the NCAA only feels like doing it's job some of the time.

If you don't believe something close to what she alleges happened at this point then you just don't want to believe. Even Pitino is like don't ask me, that shite is Andre's fault.
I see that your position in this thread is that most posters are reacting overly misogynistically--I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you on that. My position is this is shoddy "journalism" by ESPN, which we've come to expect based on their shite-tastic track record. And that Katina Powell is a living piece of shite and a horrible excuse for a mother who should be fricking stoned for pimping her teenage girls. And somebody like that should be viewed with the utmost suspicion and contempt above all else.

Louisville basketball, not underage hookers.

If she was the program's hooker you don't think there's any way she can have insight into how the program works? Everybody else is going to give their opinion, her's is probably more informed.

Just to let you know, her story and evidence she claims was background checked with the publishing house that put out the book with former FBI agents. So, ESPN is not the only organization confirming this story.

Ironically, ESPN didn't originally run with it. It was a newspaper up in Indianapolis that had the pictures (with the hookers and players) from the book itself. Sporting News actually read the book the day it was released and put out a synopsis about it. Pat Forde was I believe one of the first major outlet guys to mention it and that's with Yahoo. Local authorities as well as UofL police are knee deep in an investigation with the Crimes Against Children Unit involved.
ESPN may be milking her interview, but it's been out there and drug through the mud so to speak for a few weeks now. With some knowledgeable folks chiming in.

As opposed to random basketball analysts popping up saying "there's no way he doesn't know what's happening in his program". Her theory is at least from being somewhat involved in the program.

That's what I don't understand about this whole deal. I know at KU these dudes are gods and can get any girl they want at any time. I can't imagine Louisville is any different so why take the risk when you've got much hotter girls that won't charge lining up at the door?

What's interesting is the one guy who would have the most knowledgeable take on how Pitino runs his programs, Pat Forde, hasn't come to his defense at all. He's usually the first one to do so.

Then what's the point of anyone talking about it. Like only Pitino can say anything and that's the end of it.

And she was involved in this, that's why she's talking about this. She ain't talking about Pitino's mindset when he was getting shook down by Karen Sypher. She ain't talking about Louisville's lack of offense. She ain't talking about whether they should've hired Bobby Petrino. She's talking about something that very much involves her and her opinion is as valid as the next.

His point is this. She broke the story with her book apparently, that alone says she is an attention and money-loving whore. She is a confirmed 100% POS for doing what she has done to her daughters. Yet, ESPN (the largest sports agency in the world) shows no objectivity in an interview with said POS. Basically, a prostitute gets to sit there in front of a huge audience and express her BS opinion on Pitino/everything else involving this case, and no one calls her out on it. Do you not understand what kind of picture that paints? Not just on Pitino but the entire university. She shouldn't even be walking (or working) the streets, and yet she has this platform to get up there and voice her biased opinion, an opinion that is undoubtedly partially fabricated to meet her interests and draw more viewers.

That doesn't mean she's lying which is something that is somehow hard for some people to understand.

No it does not mean she is lying. It means she should be indicted, not given a platform to blast Rick Pitino and whoever else. Somehow this is hard to understand for some people.

On the flipside of that, Universities can hold press conferences and interviews with media in cases where they can completely discredit accusers who may actually have some credit (no matter how shitty are).
I still say the larger question is why hasn't UofL police or LMPD charged her with anything? Is it lack of evidence? Or are they afraid that her catching a charge confirms enough of her stories to get UofL in sufficient trouble with the NCAA?

She didn't blast anybody, she said what happened. She didn't even bring Pitino up until asked about him. If we're indicting people are we arresting the johns too? Not to mention the story talked about the possible charges she'd face.
