Louisville isn’t allowed to hang a 2013 national championship banner inside the Yum! Center due to their past problems with the NCAA, so the Mayor has put up a banner at Metro Hall on campus.
“Let it be proclaimed we are and always will be the National Champions,” Mayor Craig Greenberg said on social media.

In honor of the team, the fans and the city of Louisville, Mayor Craig Greenberg hung a replica banner honoring the championship win outside Metro Hall since it can’t hang inside the KFC Yum! Center.
After the 2015 basketball stripper scandal, the NCAA ordered Louisville to vacate all of their wins from 2011 to 2014, including the 2013 National Championship win.
“Let it be proclaimed we are and always will be the National Champions,” Greenberg said on social media.
Fans can go and take a picture with the banner all weekend long. Greenberg said it will stay up from Friday, Feb. 17 through Sunday, Feb. 19.
In a letter sent to fans, the university said it will hang a banner in the rafters of the KFC Yum! Center that reads “2013 Final Coaches Poll #1.”
