This is long overdue (from the Kentucky Lantern):

The appearance of a double standard by college sports’ governing body is raising hopes the University of Louisville’s 2013 NCAA basketball championship can be restored.

UofL athletics director Josh Heird told the Kentucky Lantern he has been in contact with NCAA President Charlie Baker about revisiting the Cardinals’ vacated title and been encouraged by indications the NCAA is open to reconciling inconsistencies in its penalty structure.

The source of Heird’s newfound optimism are penalties imposed last month on the University of Michigan’s football program, which did not include any vacated victories despite scouting and signal-stealing violations far more likely to affect games than did the stripper scandal that invalidated Louisville’s title.

I totally agree with Heird. There’s a difference between flat out cheating in a competition (which the NCAA has no problem with) and sending strippers to a dorm (which I have a problem with, but not to the point where I’d strip — no pun intended — a title from a team that won a hard-fought game).

I was at the national championship game in Atlanta in 2013. The building literally shook when this happened:

You can probably find the whole game on YouTube, but this was the game changer.

Louisville deserved the national championship. The NCAA lets other teams get away with far worse.
