What is the over/under for how many days after the NCAA formally interviews him, does Pitino come out with an angry, self righteous indignation PR interview blaming the NCAA for giving Powell a vehicle to make money off the sales of her book?
"There is something morally reprehensible about our system that allows the good name of Loo-ville university - not to mention our players and the thousands and thousands of innocent, hard-working, god-loving fans - to be tarnished like this because one unscrupulous individual found a way to make a couple of dollars. I am shocked, blindsided, disgusted and saddened by what has transpired. So much so -and against the adamant counsel of our outstanding AD, Mr. Jurich and the wisdom of the Board of Trustees - I can longer just sit back and watch this unfold. Therefore, even though I have done nothing remotely wrong, nor could I find a single person other than Mr. McGee with knowledge of this isolated act, I have decided that if would be in the very best interest of everyone associated with, and a fan of, this truly exceptional University for me to step down from my position as head basketball coach. God bless Loo-ville and god bless you all. Thank you."
Or something like that.
