No it's like the guy who cheats on his girlfriend, but tells his girlfriend he thought the other girl he hooked up with was actually her. It's not cheating if he didn't know it wasn't her!
Pitino expected to be fired tomorrow
- Thread starter Rupp'sRunt
- Start date
When the FBI gets involved...this is legit....this is not the NCAA...
Digital....12672....how does this AD survive this?!...Their done gone....Petrino will be next
Louisville fans will blame UK for all of this somehow
I can't believe we're talking about this measly $100k on the anniversary of Daniel Boone's death.
Actually on their boards tonight, there are at least 2 threads about how UK "power boosters" are all about this and the other 10-12 scandals they have had.
Sad sad very sad university west of us...humiliation to the state...humiliation
My apologies...Daniel Boone great man...Pitino...please be gone!!!! Now I know why joannn left him! Well the obvious....he loves Jurich...ok I'm tired....ul1c4 crap gone dead see you now go bye bye....
Again...ul.....now go bye bye...IRRELEVANCY......starts 10, 9, 8...2, 1! Boom goes the dynamite!
The Louisville media has finally turned against pitino and jurich. It's over.
I would be ticked off if I we're Katrina Powell...she worked her butt off...and only got paid a fraction of what they paid for Bowen...that's not RIGHT!
If it turns into a bat ,or we can't see it in a mirror we have a problem
I knew it had to be posters that know I gave the riot act when we kept him and got hammered for it.
Thank you
clappy only digs sheep on a winning streak. farm boy is what he's use to.
Poor UL, used to get recruits with 20 dollar squirt sessions. Now has to pony up 100k since the brothel was shut down.
It was Other peoples money. A No money down deal. That's cheaper than $20 HO's who can't even squirt to the ceiling.
In a way, guys like Eric Crawford and Rick Bozich should share part of the blame for the shellacking Louisville is going to get. There's never been a city that big or a school that size that got that kind of homerism from their local media. From Pitino's transgressions, the prostitutes, the Yum! Center ordeal, the dead cheerleader in the football dorms, it goes on and on and on and these guys always tried their damndest to sweep it under the rug or report as lightly on it as possible. Then they had Forde manning the PR angles for Pitino in the national media, with Dana O'Neil as his press secretary. It was a hell of an operation. Propaganda outlets inside and out.
This outlaw program finally getting its comeuppance is like the closing scene of Goodfellas when the shit hits the fan after years of investigations, the feds come sweeping in with warrants, everyone goes to jail or gets murdered, and Henry Hill looks at the camera and says "and now it's over."

dumbass don't know, every time he pleads "he did not know" proves lack of institutional control. He's driving the nails into his own crypt box
They were a little late now weren't they. If they had been doing their job he would have been gone years ago but no they covered for him and now Rome is on fire. A little CYA from the local media and it is hilarious to watch
I hate to break it to you, but NO, I don't think you will be "fine" going forward.
Some UL fans still seem in denial about just how severe this is. This ain't a normal cheating scandal, this is something different. Do you want to know how "fine" you'll be? I suggest you might take at look at the state of SMU Football after 1986 as a guidepost.

The real question is to whether Jurich is gone as well. I see no way UL can seriously say they are cleaning things up while retaining Jurich. Couple everything that has gone on with the various sports programs since he took charge (there's a lot of bad to go along with the good) with the financial problems he's tied to and he simply needs to go. Also, keeping Jurich is simply giving the NCAA another middle finger, and that's something I don't know if UL can chance at this point.
And they're only piling on now because they know it's all over but the cryin'. If they thought there was a way out they'd be spinning like tops.
You make a good point, but let's not forget that we're dealing with the University of Unmitigated Gall here.
After Jurich once again went to bat for Pitino earlier this summer, threatening to quit if Pitino is let go, I think he 100% tied himself to Pitino. Pitino is gone and I think Postel and the board will see that the only way to get past all of this is to get rid of Pitino, the staff and Jurich.
Speaking of Postel, I realize he is "interim" but he's lobbying to go permanent. They should sweep him out too. The BBall program is on probation and a month later they're funnelling $100k to a recruit. He clearly has no control over this athletic dept. They need to clean house and bring in a real ballbreaking egghead.
I know they want to keep Jurich because he's been such a successful AD. However, he has been the one overseeing what a circus the basketball program got turned into and did nothing.
You can't keep him. You just can't. You have to start over all together.

This is the only benefit to having Jerry Tipton around because he is always looking for something.
Good post. I'd add one name to the propaganda operation: Terry Meiners. I remembered this morning how irritating he was once upon a time. This was during a time when he was really having a battle of sorts with UK fans - making fun of us generally, making fun of coal miners with black lung, that kind of thing. Sort of petty stuff that a shock jock naturally engages in. So he was at odds with BBN, anyway - and then Pitino gets let go by the Celtics, and Meiners takes it upon himself to get RP to Louisville. The night Pitino was deciding between Michigan and Louisville (this is the official story, who knows what really happened), Meiners was on the phone with him multiple times, telling him how much he was wanted here, that those stupid UK fans who might object should be disregarded, etc. Talked him into it, really. And afterwards, he was pretty gleeful, taking shots at UK and BB. Pretty irritating, all in all.
It occurred to me this morning we owe him a big thank you. He bought in the guy who brought down Louisville basketball.
