Louisville Cards being naughty?

[Forza Azzurri]

All I know is that being recruited by Louisville is now on my bucket list.

I'd settle for a position in internal affairs.

In fact, at one point, a reporter opened a question by saying, "You've mentioned that you don't believe these allegations are true," at which point Pitino said, "I didn't say that."

Wow, for him to come out and say that so early must mean that he's screwed, right?

he's hoping they're gonna pin it on a rogue staffer (McGee), he's already put out there that he confronted McGee who flat out denied it. In theory, though, at least based on what they've done with JB and Brown, ncaa ought to have Ricky in their crosshairs

As long as they weren't tutors, the Cards are good.

On many levels I have no issue with this.

1) Let consenting adults do what they want. Prostitution, in most circumstances and under certain conditions, should not be illegal.
2) It is an improper benefit, but the NCAA goes overboard with this stuff.

On the other hand, I don't think this is the way they should be recruiting 18 year olds, so I would still want rules around it.

This story has legs (nice pun right...thank you thank you)

Interview with the source:

http://www.ibj.com/blogs/4-the-scor...um=newsletter&utm_campaign=college-basketball

She's up front about doing it for the money.
And whatever people think of her motives or morals...her comments have the ring of truth.
She's really put Rick Pitino behind the eight ball.
(Although judging by past performance he seems to enjoy that spot).

1Prostitution, in most circumstances and under certain conditions, should not be illegal.

But it is illegal.

Here's a report from "The Sporting News". If you go to page two you will see the names of players mentioned in the book. Obviously some very "high profile" players. I am not saying all this is true or false, just posting some info.

Plus there is a BOT meeting today.

Some have claimed that Pitino was asked to step down,which I don't believe at this point.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Pitino's not going anywhere(unless he bought the prostitutes)...They have no viable replacement and wins are > than ethics, especially in Kentucky, and especially when they need him to keep Louisville relevant with Cal at UK.

"According to CBS Sports’ Gary Parrish, Lyle confirmed the allegations during the interview.

Ohio State freshman JaQuan Lyle spoke with an NCAA investigator this week about his recruiting visit to Louisville in June 2013 and confirmed the gist of allegations involving paid escorts during his trip to the school, a source with knowledge of the NCAA’s investigation told CBS Sports on Thursday morning.

“He told the truth,” the source said."

Oh Rick, what have you done

 

[HoustonCuse]

After everything Syracuse has been through in the last 5 years or so, I just get a sick feeling in my stomach when hearing about this kind of stuff. As fans, we really just want to enjoy our teams and enjoy our sport. This sort of stuff makes that seriously difficult.

On top of that, imagine this: if Louisville was rolling out high paid escorts to "service" the recruits coming to their campus on visits and they didn't get them to go to Louisville, imagine what the other schools are doing...

This is how you know he's lying: " “No one, I repeat no one, in the Cardinals community has anything but good things to say about these ladies, and it’s absolutely shameful to see their names get dragged through the mud,”

OMG! He's speaking from experience.

Okay, agreed. BUT. I was all high and mighty about Paterno and Sandusky and then the Bernie Fine garbage hit the fan. Then I knew what it felt like to be a Penn State fan. In that line of thinking, you know there are Louisville fans who would group us with Penn State being all high and mighty and holier than thou. Now they get to experience the yucky feeling that doesn't come off even if you shower. There's a good chance Coach Pitino gets fired over this based on the Louisville president's comments. Louisville fans have to be sick to their stomachs. I would make a comment but I don't want any bad karma.

Silently inside his head he's thinking:
"he,he,he...I'm making a shocker gesture with my fingers on national television just like those cheerleaders"
