A book by an escort alleging that former Louisville staffer Andre McGee brought escorts into dorm parties, and paid for the women to strip and have sex with the Cardinals' recruits, their fathers and players is available online.

Louisville is investigating allegations by Katina Powell in the upcoming book, "Breaking Cardinal Rules: Basketball and the Escort Queen," from a publishing affiliate of the Indianapolis Business Journal. The 104-page book was available early Saturday, but some details were published on the Journal's web site on Friday.

The escort said during a four-year period many of the activities took place in the players' dormitory.

Louisville officials say they learned of the allegations in late August and immediately notified the NCAA. McGee left Louisville in 2014 to become an assistant at Missouri-Kansas City. That school put McGee on paid leave Friday night and issued a statement saying the allegations were being taken seriously.

"When I was recruited at Auburn, they took me to a strip joint. When I saw those titties on Buffy, I knew that Auburn met my academic requirements."

4. Well it's Kentucky

Who gets sloppy 2nds, the father or son? What does mom and sis do while waiting, read the Bible or clean their guns?

5. It may be better that way

At least if the recruits had prostitutes it could be regulated and make sure the players stay out of trouble.
