A former University of Louisville basketball assistant coach has been charged with one federal count of attempting to extort money and other things of value from the school, as reported by ESPN.

According to information released Tuesday by Michael Bennett, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky, the charge stems from an in-person meeting between Dino Guadio and Louisville officials on March 17, during which Guadio "threatened to report to the media allegations that the University of Louisville men's basketball program had violated [NCAA] rules in its production of recruiting videos for prospective student-athletes and its use of graduate assistants in practice, unless the University of Louisville paid [Gaudio] his salary for an additional 17 months or provided the lump sum equivalent of 17 months of salary."
