New Book Accuses Louisville Staffer Of Getting Escorts For Players

An upcoming new book “Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen,” by IBJ Book Publishing of Indianapolis, is reporting that Louisville's basketball program allegedly had staff members pay escorts to dance for and have sex with multiple players and recruits from the program. The book is written by former Louisville resident, Katina Powell, who describes herself as a madam. The book pinpoints Cardinals staffer Andre McGee, now a coach at Missouri-Kansas City, as the guy who made all the arrangements. Here's a transcript from the book, per Yahoo...

“At the peak of the dormitory and off-campus entertainment more than $10,000 cash changed hands to Katina for supplying the women. This does not include the hundreds of one dollar bills thrown at the dancers at each party by McGee, the recruits and players. Nor does it include the money paid to the women who had sex with the recruits afterward. So frequent were the escapades that Katina would later say, especially after the Cardinals won the 2012-2013 NCAA championship: I felt like I was part of the recruitment team. A lot of them players went to Louisville because of me.”
