It looks like there is a scandal brewing at the University of Louisville concerning the basketball program.
A Louisvile madam has written a book and it contains alleged information that she was paid to have escorts have sex and do other favors for Cardinal recruits and current players. Madam Katina Powell alledges former staffer Andre McGee solicited her services on many occasions.
Pat Forde of Yahoo.com has written an article about the situation.
Here is the excerpt:
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. Powell also says her dancers – which included her daughters – also entertained Louisville players at other locations off campus. After the women danced for the players for an agreed-upon sum, Powell alleges that she would negotiate a second payment for the women to have sex with the athletes.
The book alleges: “At the peak of the dormitory and off-campus entertainment more than $10,000 cash changed hands to Katina for supplying the women. This does not include the hundreds of one dollar bills thrown at the dancers at each party by McGee, the recruits and players. Nor does it include the money paid to the women who had sex with the recruits afterward. So frequent were the escapades that Katina would later say, especially after the Cardinals won the 2012-2013 NCAA championship: I felt like I was part of the recruitment team. A lot of them players went to Louisville because of me.”
The book cites Powell’s diaries and journals as sources for much of the information. It also contains a handwritten page from one journal listing 19 parties for Louisville basketball and/or former Louisville star Terrance Williams.
In a release from IBJ to Yahoo Sports, the publisher says Powell “has hundreds of text exchanges with [McGee] to set up her services as well as pictures of her girls with players and recruits.”
