So he may do what UL fans claim cal did after a "scandal"? That'd be freaking hilarious.
The strippers and prostitutes are better looking in Vegas than they are in Louisville so that would be a plus in recruiting.
RP knows he's done at UL after the season. That's why he broke out on his own and went on a speaking binge about the scandal.
Plus since prostitution is legal there, he can just tell recruits to go here and then come see me. Pun intended.

Pitino continues to bring national embarrassment to lOOieville. I hope he stays put.

I hope not. Pimptino at UL guarantees a UK victory every year. Cal owns him.
The UL ship is sinking. Rats will jump off. I imagine he'll be first at the rail.
No way. First, he's not done at Louisville unless they can make the case that Pitino knew about the Whores in Minardi Hall. They won't be able to make that case. Even if he should have known - won't matter. You think Louisville - scandal university itself - will do the "right thing" and push him out? Look no further than the school President, who's suffered one embarrassment and scandal after another, and 18 of 20 board members just voted in support of him. He had sex on a restaurant table for crying out loud with no consequence!!
Now, I don't doubt he may have talked to UNLV. It's the "Tom Izzo Special." Every once in a while Izzo starts to feel a little unloved and unappreciated. When that happens, he has very public flirtations with other jobs - Hawks, Cavs, UK even. Then the MSU community goes overboard with Love and Admiration, and Tom feels the love, and rejects the other job that he never wanted to begin with.
Pitino just wants everyone to tell him how great he is and how they couldn't live without him.

I can definitely see much truth in what you say. He may need his ego and self worth stroked by the UL faithful.
Except he's going to final fours and a recent title winner.
I'd like Louisville to get the whole Indiana Crean treatment. Be laughable and consistently pitiful.
Nah. Not seeing it for a brevity of reasons
1. He's getting paid at UL with a AD that doesn't care what he does. 2 Scandals say that
2. He'll be 64 for the upcoming season. I can't see him wanting to start over at a another rebuilding project.
3. Let's say UL does get put on probation. Pitino either gets the blame but probably be put on a show clause or he doesn't get the blame and UL will keep him because, well they're UL.
This is a plant by Pitino's agent to make him look like he's still wanted and if there is any wavering by anybody in UL athletics that Pitino's time needs to come to a close at UL, this makes him look like he's still wanted by a program.

He'd be a slam dunk hire for UNLV, though. It'd be the best coach they've landed there since Tark.
Seriously, why doesn't he just go off into the sunset and enjoy his money with whores Galore? That's what I'd do!
Agree with first part of your statement. I think Pitino knows this year is all he has left at UofL
I simply don't believe it. Of course, I never thought Donovan would agree to go to Orlando and he was out the door(granted he did change his mind)
Actually it isn't, it is county option like alcohol is in Kentucky------and the county LV is in, Clark County is "dry". The nearest county line is about a 50 mile trip, and another 10 miles or so, but Slick Rick could afford a fleet of limosines.
Rick ain't going nowhere
He would be a small fish in a big pond out there, way down the A-list behind Steve Wynn, Jenna Jameson and Siegfried and Roy's tigers
Better to stay put and be the big fish on South Third Street...and he knows it too

I give it about 6 months, and then there will be a 20 thread along the lines "Can you believe uofl is keeping Pitino despite the NCAA hit!?!"

Your clean of the loserville deal I'd assume. Run, run, run, mofo. Don't look back. They got some pieces at UNLV too. Might win. I'd go if I was in your shoes Rick. Straight up real talk.
Actually, he would be THE sports figure in town, just like Tark the Shark was. Tark was buddies with Sinatra and all the Vegas regulars. Not only is Vegas a much bigger city than Louisville now, but it's like New York in the desert. Pitino would be in heaven.
Pitino would make UNLV a Final Four threat again. And they would laugh at his scandals at Louisville there.
Still, this is just Pitino's agents throwing stuff at the media wall, looking for a reaction. Pitino probably put them up to it, just to give himself an option should things go South here.
I still think the administration has gone quiet on him, and it's driving him crazy. Hence his outburst in the press conference.
Respectfully, I don't buy any of what you've said here....
Rick would be down the pecking order behind Tyson, Pretty Boy Floyd, the Busch brothers, Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi....
Just because we are CBB nuts in Kentucky doesn't mean the rest of the world, especially Vegas, gives a rat's patootie about an aging, sex-addicted sixty-year old hoops coach. Tark was a special case who had been there a loooooong time, was notorious for his fights with the NCAA and eventually cuffed enough talent to be nationally relevant. Moreover, Sinatra's dead--so is Sammy Davis Jr.
A carpetbagger like Rick would have an uphill slog to get to that level in the sports world in Vegas (or LA or Dallas or wherever) today. Nor would I be so sure people in Vegas (the rank and file folk who live there) would be at all dismissive of Rick's peccadillos. That is at its core a very conservative state, a red state, and shows no signs of becoming the socially-progressive place you suggest. Yeah, in the brothel, Rick would be "just another John" but the rest of the state isn't going to be so blind.

If Rick dumps Louisville after basically destroying that entire program and turning it into a national laughing stock then that will be sublime and I look forward to installing gutters and a rain barrel to catch all their tears. They will flow with great fervor.
I agree, but I would also be happy with him in a entirely different time zone.
with 5 uavel players already testifying they saw strip shows...the writing is on the wall ..ESCORTINO is toast...Turtleneck will have to make a deal with NCAA like Syracuse..Boheim is gone at end of season. Good Riddance...L1C8
Nice game yesterday. Let's see, how many FF has Cal had to vacate? Do you Gomers really think he's all of the sudden decided to run a clean program? LOL!!!!!
