AD reportedly when he refused to fire Pitino.

Note that Steve Pence, Pitino's attorney, has said that Pitino has been "effectively fired."

Shocking, just shocking.

Hmmmm. Not defending "Slick Rick" or Louisville, but.....

Let's see. You cannot "cheat" during the recruiting process....but once they enroll you can cheat all you want to keep them eligible?

OK....got it!

This will not end well for a lot of coaches and basketball programs. A lot. Once this first group starts to 'flip,' which I understand has already begun, the list of individuals and institutions involved will grow exponentially. I'm not going to guess who will fall, but we can all hope it won't be KU.

Pitino has to go. with the prior stripper scandal and now this - he's toast. I was appalled by his first official statement today. Clearly written by his lawyer, feigning anger at the "third parties" who perpetrated a fraud against Louisville. 100% passing the buck, and likely setting up his own defense against criminal charges.
