Last month, Louisville became the first NCAA men’s basketball program to have a banner taken down following a scandal involving a former staffer arranging stripteases and sex acts for 20 prospects and student-athletes. Now, Cardinals fans have hired an attorney to sue the NCAA over the vacated wins and 2013 championship title, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal.

The group is calling itself the Louisville PAC, and is working on a suit that will charge the NCAA with “breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and arbitrary and capricious treatment of a member school,” according to the Courier-Journal.
The PAC, along with their attorney, Robert Florio, believe Lousiville was treated unfairly compared to other teams that have received penalties.
“It’s a trust principle,” Florio said, according to the Courier-Journal. “If you’re a trustee, you can’t single out one of your beneficiaries in a better or in a worse way than another one of your beneficiaries.”
The group has not decided what would happen with any money won in court, but is really after one thing:
“What we’re really after is what we paid for, it’s the restoration of the title,” Florio said.
