Louisville, Ky. — Louisville announced additional self-imposed sanctions on its men’s basketball program in the wake of an escort’s allegations, reducing scholarships for the 2017-19 seasons and restricting official recruiting visits and recruiting opportunities for staff.

The school announced Feb. 5 a postseason ban for the Cardinals after its investigation into allegations a former staffer hired an escort and other dancers to entertain recruits and players determined that violations did occur.

A release on Wednesday stated Louisville will lose one scholarship in each of the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons, with official visits reduced by one each in 2016-17 and ’17-18.

RunningBoston Marathon Beefs Security

Boston — Public safety officials outlined a tight security plan for the Boston Marathon three years after two bombs inside backpacks exploded near the finish line.

Authorities said during a news conference Wednesday that there will be up to 5,000 law enforcement officers, enhanced checkpoints and dozens of surveillance cameras along the 26.2-mile route on April 18.

The special agent in charge of the FBI’s Boston division says officials aren’t aware of specific threat against the marathon. Special agent Hank Shaw said officials are incorporating lessons learned from attacks in Paris, Brussels and San Bernardino, Calif., into the marathon security plan.

Officials are asking spectators to leave backpacks and drones at home.

Security has been stepped up significantly since the 2013 bombing killed three people and injured more than 260.
