CNN: ESPN: Louisville ex-assistant basketball coach paid for recruits’ sex parties<\/a><\/p>\n

(CNN)The school is a perennial powerhouse. It’s one of the biggest and best-known college basketball institutions in the country.<\/p>\n

Led by head coach Rick Pitino, the Louisville Cardinals won the NCAA championship in 2013.<\/p>\n

But the school now finds itself mired in a sex scandal that could tarnish its reputation and question the integrity of its leaders.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” is reporting that a former assistant coach, Andre McGee, paid for sex and stripper parties on the Louisville campus for basketball players and recruits, according to a self-described escort named Katina Powell.<\/p>\n

According to “Outside the Lines,” five former University of Louisville basketball players and recruits said McGee paid for strippers to attend nearly two dozen parties at the dorm from 2010-2014. Each of the players and recruits attended different parties. At those parties, the ESPN report says, there were dancers who stripped naked. Of the five players interviewed by ESPN, three said they attended parties as recruits and again when they were players at Louisville. The ESPN report says one of the former players said he had sex with one of the strippers and that McGee paid her for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
