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.

I think no BUT here. What you said is what I meant with my comment. Maybe I'm just too cynical but I don't really care that they had strippers and whatnot. I am more identifying with the absolutely sickening feeling of knowing something horrible is brewing and will eventually tear your favorite sports team apart. In our case that feeling lasted for 8 years with some being mild and others being intense nausea. I can't take any moral high ground or anything else, I just feel bad for the fans.
 
It's a mess here. Pitino said he's not resigning, and he shouldn't, at least not until the whole truth is known, then let's reassess. I had not heard one peep about all of this around here before the allegations came out. Whether true or not or partially, the lady is in for the $$ no doubt! Pres. Ramsey supported AD Jurich but didn't mention Pitino. It is not known if this was on purpose or an oversight. I have met Ramsey. Not sure what to think. I do like UofL sports being a long time resident (2nd to SU of course), but this is nuts! I'm sure crap goes on at many other schools, but that doesn't excuse the behavior if true. Ugh. First Cuse, now this (at least it wasn't a sex scandal at SU). Why not happen to teams I don't like, like UK or some other snooty schools.

There's no chance that the omission of Pitino's name in the statement of support is an oversight.
The written statement undoubtedly was vetted by university lawyers.
Even if Pitino knew nothing about the strippers (which is hard to believe) he's still facing likely ouster.

Calhoun...Boeheim...Pitino.
Three Hall of Fame coaches enveloped by scandal at the end of their tenures.
That's college basketball.
And somehow I'm still a fan.

Because the snooty and outlaw programs are untouchable.

I wonder if the UofL is helping keep the NCAA's eyes off of Petrino as he tries to rebuild the football program. "Hey guys, look over here...nothing to see over there." (As escorts trot into the football complex)

This lady just wants money. Someone at Louisville was dumb enough to cut her off. UK is watching this closely. UK boosters appear willing to cut the check and tie off a relationship in a nice green bow.

If Louisville had done that, this would never have been a problem.

Gotta love college sports. It's all about amateurism and the integrity of the student athlete.

LV is a monastery compared to UK.

I'm biased, of course. But I don't see how paying kids to ref games at the Y or adding citations to a kid's paper are in the same league as a (another) sex scandal at LV.

In SU's case, there were violations, sure. But the real scandal was the ridiculous penalties imposed by the COI.

Pitino speaks:

http://www.whas.com/media/podcast-t...um=newsletter&utm_campaign=college-basketball

He's got his work cut out for him to escape this one.
I suspect even the Houdini of coaches...Cal himself...couldn't wriggle out of this.

Just a hunch, but I doubt he knew about this. He's been through his own personal scandal. He's seen what's happened to other programs (for much more minor infractions, comparatively). This is just too over the top to have his blessing, or even his tacit approval.

That said, it's his program. And his assistant(s). So I think he'll be held responsible, but after listening to that interview, my gut is he didn't know about it.

I agree completely on Pitino. Total speculation on my part, but I do think some other assistants could be brought in on this at least for the painful parts of the investigation, for two reasons. First, this staff member was not directly hands-on in recruiting, so keeping track of who's who would have involve conversations and guidance with other coaches. Those same coaches who are the primary contact with a recruit would have a role in how they were spending their visits. Second, people in that role (Grad Assistant/Director of Ops) don't typically make a ton of money where they can throw $300-$400 around loosely like that (although you never know someone's situation, and I guess he did play overseas). Unless he completely falls on this 100% as his own, this could get messy for others.

Agree. I'm sure the staff knew who, when, what and where with the recruits. And I doubt GA's and assistants were diming whores with their own coin. So more to come, as you predict.

What amazes me is that this stuff -- which we all know goes on, probably on a much bigger scale at another K school -- doesn't get broken to the press more often. Where there are handlers, big-time recruits, shady figures (including prostitutes) ... there has to be a flow of money.

Yeah, it would have been really bad if our scandal was about g a y _s e x with under aged ball boys...wait a minute...I thought ours was a s e x scandal?

As long as he didn't bet on the prostitutes, he shouldn't be barred from the College Basketball Hall of Fame.
 
Is there any truth that Pitino messed around with Prostitutes as a Knicks coach. I have seen a few remarks to this in other comment boards. I can't find a thing on it out there.
