Wednesday afternoon Cardinal news and notes - Card Chronicle

—A fourth-place finish at the Noblesville Regional has the Louisville men’s golf team moving on to the NCAA Championships for the fifth time in program history.

—The U of L baseball team got back on track Tuesday night with an 8-6 win over USC Upstate.

—Eric Crawford shares his thoughts on Louisville basketball’s latest extortion mess.

The last thing I’m going to do is gloss over violations for a program that ought to have zero, given the NCAA hammer it is living under. But this kind of Level II or III thing is not the kind of thing that strikes fear into anyone.

Which is why I can’t understand going to the FBI with this behavior from Gaudio. If I’m Mack, I try to figure out a way to smooth this over without involving the courts or the cops. Unless there’s more to this story than we know.

If Gaudio’s game plan here was stupid, U of L’s isn’t much easier to grasp.

Nothing draws more attention, and a bigger microscope, than a court proceeding, especially if you’re U of L. If this thing proceeds, we’re going to see everything, and more. We’re going to hear Mack’s recording of Gaudio’s threats. We’re going to see the recruiting video. We’re probably going to see a lot more. Rick Pitino, let’s remember, won his extortion trial (actually, let’s be more accurate, Karen Sypher lost it), but not before every cringeworthy detail of an extramarital affair was laid bare in open court.

So I don’t get it. Why put the program — and the university — through another federal court case?

—Attendance for the upcoming ACC baseball tournament in Charlotte will operate at full capacity.

—Louisville is an 8-seed in the latest offseason Bracketology from Joe Lunardi.

—CBS ranks the 65 Power Five conference college football coaches, and has Scott Satterfield at No. 45.

45 Louisville

Scott Satterfield: He fell further in our rankings this season than all but one coach — and I suppose you can say the coaches who were fired fell even further — dropping 14 spots from No. 31 last season to No. 45 this year. I think it’s probably too severe, but when you get to this midfield portion of the rankings, recency bias tends to play a much larger role because there’s so little that splits the candidates. So you see Satterfield going 4-7, and it’s a little easier to mark him below similar coaches coming off better seasons.

2020 rank: 31 (-14)
