NOTABLE NUMBER

$1.76 million

For compliance consultants and attorneys paid by Louisville to deal with two major basketball scandals since October 2015, according to documents obtained by The (Louisville) Courier-Journal. The newspaper says the figure is almost certainly larger — documents related to some legal fees don’t specify what work they included — and will grow in the coming months and years, as the possibility of another NCAA infractions case looms with the FBI’s ongoing investi- gation into college basketball and allegations of rules violations in former Louisville player Brian Bowen’s recruitment to the school.
