Ah, laser tag. You probably played it a few times as a kid, maybe once at one of those mandatory company outings, and then promptly forgot it even existed.

Fake-zapping your friends under the black lights is a recruiting staple in Louisville, apparently, because it forced the men's basketball program to self-report two separate Level III NCAA violations from a laser tag trip it took in April.

On April 19, six members of the men's basketball team took a trip to a local laser tag facility where they were given admission money by the program, according to information obtained by Sporting News in an open records request. But because those players received money for admission outside of the playing season, Louisville's compliance office had to self-report the news to the NCAA. All six players were then ordered to donate their $7 admission fee to charity. 

The fun didn't stop there.

On that same day, two recruits accompanied the team to laser tag. Louisville basketball was allowed to pay the cost of admission for the two prospective student-athletes, but their host students forgot — we've all done this, naturally — to take the cost of admission out of the money they'd been given to act as hosts.

Louisville's compliance staff made the two host players pay up, and then reminded them it's not cool to forget to deduct expenses from their host money budget.

Yet another way the NCAA is really cracking down on what matters: limiting a team's ability to fake-shoot each other for fun. Shucks. Rules are rules, guys. *finger wag*
