Chris Holtmann will leave Butler to become the next men's basketball coach at Ohio State, agreeing to an eight-year deal with the Buckeyes, sources confirmed to ESPN on Friday.
Holtmann, 45, will receive $3 million per season as the replacement for Thad Matta, sources told ESPN. The Columbus Dispatch first reported that Holtmann had accepted the position.
Pitino suspended five games
Tuesday, April 9, 2013, was a day of unbridled joy in this city – maybe collectively the happiest I’ve seen people in 30 years living here.
Red-and-black car flags were everywhere. Brand-new championship T-shirts covered puffed-out chests. Smiles spread across faces all around town. The communal giddiness was palpable.
The night before in Atlanta, Louisville basketball got back into the championship game and took it all. A fan base that for generations has lived and died with the Cardinals was on top of the world. They had won their third national title, 27 years after the last one, and many years after some people said it could never happen again at an urban school.
Thursday, four years and two months later, that fan base has been flattened by an unprecedented penalty handed down by the NCAA. The worst fear that sprang from the tawdry story Yahoo Sports broke in October 2015 has come to fruition.
For the first time, the NCAA has vacated a Division I men’s basketball national championship. Not yet officially, because the NCAA is such an obtuse, protocol-shackled organization that it is waiting for Louisville to send in the names of players who received impermissible benefits – stripper shows and sex acts paid for by former staffer Andre McGee, one of the most embarrassing scandals in a sport that routinely wallows in corruption.
So, at some point the NCAA will do the same thing to UNC, right?
As a UK fan its some sweet irony that the Cards got slammed by the NCAA
If it meant Carolina finally getting their comeuppance, I'd be fine letting Louisville walk on 1000 violations.
While strippers and sex are certainly more tawdry, blatant academic fraud must be punished if the NCAA intends to stick to their "student athlete model"
if they aren't going to punish UNC then screw it, let college hoops players who aren't interested in a degree just not bother going to class
I hope Cal never leaves.
By choosing Duke, Bagley III joins a six-man freshman class that includes five ESPN top 100 prospects. The addition of Bagley, coupled with the Blue Devils' returning roster, puts them in position to win the ACC regular-season title and makes them a legitimate Final Foul and national championship contender.
