If it wasn’t Louisville I would think this was stupid.
But it is the Cardinals, so this is just plain funny.
The Louisville basketball team had to self-report 2 Level III violations because of playing Laser Tag.
This from the Sporting News:
On April 19, six members of the men’s basketball team took a trip to a local laser tag facility where they were given admission money by the program, according to information obtained by Sporting News in an open records request. But because those players received money for admission outside of the playing season, Louisville’s compliance office had to self-report the news to the NCAA. All six players were then ordered to donate their $7 admission fee to charity.
The fun didn’t stop there.
On that same day, two recruits accompanied the team to laser tag. Louisville basketball was allowed to pay the cost of admission for the two prospective student-athletes, but their host students forgot — we’ve all done this, naturally — to take the cost of admission out of the money they’d been given to act as hosts.
Louisville’s compliance staff made the two host players pay up, and then reminded them it’s not cool to forget to deduct expenses from their host money budget.

Too bad former Tennessee coach Donnie Tyndall didn’t just take a couple of players to play putt-putt.
