The NCAA will release its ruling in the Louisville basketball infractions case at 11 a.m. Thursday, the organization announced this morning.
A teleconference featuring Carol Cartwright, the president emeritus of Bowling Green and Kent State and chief hearing officer for the NCAA's Committee on Infractions panel for U of L's case, is set for noon.
U of L announced its own 12:30 p.m. press conference with interim president Greg Postel, athletics director Tom Jurich and head basketball coach Rick Pitino.

The ruling from the NCAA Committee on Infractions will be the culmination of an investigation that dated back to late August 2015, when U of L was first informed of a book written by escort Katina Powell that alleged former U of L basketball staffer Andre McGee paid for dances and sex on behalf of U of L players and recruits.
The subsequent U of L investigation resulted in the school self-imposing penalties that included a postseason ban for the 2015-16 team.
In October 2016, the NCAA charged U of L with four major allegations tied to McGee's misdeeds. That included an allegation that Rick Pitino failed to appropriately monitor McGee to uncover compliance problems.
U of L contested the allegation against Pitino (which was met with a reply from the NCAA), and the case went before the NCAA Committee on Infractions during a meeting in April in Cincinnati.
