Report: NCAA to interview Rick Pitino about escort allegations in April

The NCAA will interview Louisville head coach Rick Pitino in April regarding the school's alleged sex scandal, Dana O'Neil of ESPN reports.

The reported meeting will be the first since accusations emerged before the season that the Cardinals paid escorts to entertain recruits on campus.

Louisville self-imposed a postseason ban after launching its own investigation into the matter. Katina Powell, the woman who brought forth the claims, has already met with NCAA investigators.

Louisville's board of trustees chairman Larry Benz recently voiced his support for the 63-year-old coach and said he hopes Pitino returns to the Cardinals next year.
