Louisville Men's Basketball Punishments; Rick Pitino; Terry Kildea; The U.S. Open; Conor McGregor-Floyd Mayweather.

Revisiting an old topic with brand new developments, "Current Sports" today takes shape around the Louisville basketball scandal. Head coach Rick Pitino has now been suspended five conference games in the upcoming season, although there is no direct link between him and the hiring of prostitutes. However, Al and engineer Isaac Constans keep it real, saying that's no excuse for what happened. They even go a step further. Then, Al brings to the show Terry Kildea, director of Hawk Hallow golf properties and USGA rules official, to preview the U.S. Open and describe golfing season. Live updates flow through the show courtesy of intern Jacob Herbert. The closing piece is no surprise: Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather will duke it out in a long-awaited fight. Catch the picks and expectations from Al, Isaac and Jacob.
