PENALTY BREAKDOWN

Five things to know about the NCAA Committee on Infractions decision on Louisville’s men’s basketball program as a result of a prostitution-and-strippers scandal that stretched over a period of four years:

The NCAA is forcing the vacation of records for games from December 2010 through July 2014 in which ineligible student-athletes participated. This time frame includes Louisville’s 2013 national championship, and the NCAA’s process for vacating records could mean the removal of the title banner and the return of the 2013 championship trophy. The university has been asked to provide a written report with affected games in the next 45 days.

Coach Rick Pitino will be suspended for the first five games of the Atlantic Coast Conference schedule in the 2017-18 season.

The program is on probation from June 15, 2017, through June 14, 2021.

The NCAA accepted some penalties already self-imposed, including the reduction of two basketball scholarships and a self-imposed ban from the 2016 postseason. There was a showcause penalty of 10 years for former staffer Andre McGee.

There were no additional postseason bans for future Louisville teams, though the university must return conference-sharing revenue from appearances in the 2012-15 NCAA tournaments.
