Louisville campus police now say they are reviewing allegations that a former men's basketball staffer hired escorts to dance and have sex with recruits and players in a dormitory.

Katina Powell has alleged in a book released online over the weekend that former Cardinals director of basketball operation Andre McGee paid her $10,000 for dancers to perform 22 shows from 2010-14 at the players' Billy Minardi Hall dormitory. The school reported those allegations to the NCAA and has launched an investigation.

"The University of Louisville Police Department, in consultation with the Louisville Metro Police Department and the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office, is reviewing allegations regarding the men's basketball program," University police chief Wayne Hall said Tuesday in a statement.
 
The woman said that she and three of her daughters, along with other women, danced and stripped for Louisville recruits and players and performed sex acts with them, according to the book. Powell wrote that one daughter was 15 when she began dancing with her mother and her sisters.

WTH!!!!

So she is stripping with her daughters????? Let's do some math. She is 43...let's say her youngest daughter is 18...so she probably had her oldest kid at 25. Yet, let's be real if she is stripping with her daughter she probably had a kid at 18....

Nothing new here to see. It's been going on in the hood for ever. Now we just have the Internet to broadcast it for a dollar.

This happens at most schools especially with top recruits.

At Arkansas they had Razorback Belles....LOL...their job was to "entertain" recruits and assist them in understanding the campus on their visits. I had a get together at my house one weekend and I walk in my office and see two of the Razorbacks chilling at my desk watching two of the recruits running a train on one of the Belles.

Later I have another get together and these college chicks come in and were strippers.

SMH

What's the difference in what this woman has done as opposed to what millions of parents do by allowing their sons to be part of recruiting?

You said a mouthful. My lady and I are constantly telling her son to use the coaches and teams like they are using him. Many coaches only give a shit about winning. When your body is beat up and you cannot produce they (coaches) are on to the next bull.

I use Haynesville as an example. Their running back is a great player. Yet, he is hurt but plays every game. He has ankle tendon problems. Haynesville was winning, beating a team 50-7. The head coach has this kid playing both sides of the ball. On an offensive play the kid was visibly injured. He barely walked up after the huddle. The opposing team called timeout not because they needed but they saw how the dude was walking. Now that's some sportsmanship for your ass. They know this kid has a chance to make it out and make something of himself.

On Haynesville's sideline their head coach nor coaching staff even attempting to walk over to the kid. The kid was stretching his own legs out.

I asked the other team why did they call time-out and the coach said "That kid has a chance to make it and if his coach doesn't give a shit about him the least I can do as a black man is care for him even though he plays for the other team."

The player is black, Haynesville's football team is 98% black with all white coaches except for one (who's a Uncle Tom yessa massa man), while the opposing team was all African American and the coaching staff is all black.

Many of these coaches on all levels don't give a shit about the players so the players should use every avenue to pimp the system to get their education paid for and something back in return.

Since this is probably a varsity team, the coach can only do to the child what the parents allow; why hasn't this child's parent(s) pulled him out of football so he can heal? (Just asking)

You have to understand the culture of Haynesville football. They are 17 time state champions. Those folks grow up only dreaming of winning a state championship. The parents are borderline illiterate and since the oil boom the guys end up working in the oil fields. The girls end up pregnant by 21. I don't know of any young lady there between the ages of 18-30 who does not have a child.

I have spoken to parents about it and all they care about is going to New Orleans to the Super Dome.

What you said sounds good but these parents don't give a shit. Which is part of the reason my lady and I expose her son to so much. When we get married she is moving because the many of the people have become institutionalized in the cognitive thinking that education does not mean shit.

I totally get what you're saying about the mentality and mindset of the parents, coaches, and the entire school system regarding their priority on winning rather what's important. I guess the question was to make a point that folks really should stop looking at who's exploiting these child athletes and start focusing on who's allowing them to be exploited. Anytime a person allows themselves to be taken advantage of, no one should be surprised, shocked, in disbelief, or SMH when it happens. It's what happens when you put yourself or allow yourself to be put in doormat position.
 
What ya'll are describing is a classic case of how folks use sport as vehicles for their hopes and dreams. And how sports often exploits our natural tendencies to be tribal and tug at our yearning for self-worth and success.

That's the thing. When I speak to these people about at least allowing their kids to go to GSU, Southern, UAPB, or JSU they look at me crazy. They're like and this is a direct quote "I can get my son on at the plant and he good." No higher aspirations at ALL!!!

True. The saddest part Kendrick is that these guys have no dreams what so ever except playing football for Haynesville and going pro. No thought of college. All of them want to go to a big school and that's it. The parents feed in to it and see an educated black man as nothing but a sorry square. The head coach of Haynesville inherited the position from his dad who was head coach for years. It's horrible bruh. Truly sad.
 
This mentality is not concentrated to black people. It is prevelant in communities that values sports that much.
