As far as Katina Powell's car,tells me a UL Booster bought it for her services,no doubt paid or helped pay for SquirtGate too.
SQUIRTino sounds like a broken man ..the arrogance is a sham..He has to know that Ramsey is getting ready to spring the tap door..The NCAA penalties will be much worse than this one season ban..Ole SCUMTino has put a stain on a slimy program that Lysol couldn't get out..uavel basketball will be handcuffed for years with the problems he has brought them..It really couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of Goobers..That had Ricky by the ballz with Sypher and Turtleneck let him off the hook..He violated the morals clause and they would have owed him nothing..but look at the crap they are facing now..L1C4..right...I cannot stop laughing..![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
All comprehensive investigations require time to complete. Witnesses must be found and interviewed. Documents must be thoroughly reviewed. Attorneys and detectives must discuss their findings and conclusions with the NCAA committee. The school must respond, and its response must be evaluated. In the Louisville case, a criminal Grand Jury investigation is underway. The committee has a list of ongoing investigations. This may seem simple to people who already know what they want the NCAA committee to decide, but it isn't. We may or may not like the final decision, but the committee has more information than we have. I am not saying these decisions aren't politically influenced at times. Politics influences everything in the world. But the length of time it takes to do this job is not surprising, and not tilted to help the target of the investigation. In this case, Louisville is in a hell of a lot of trouble. We know this because President Ramsey just held a press conference to announce self-imposed sanctions. This probably means he is trying to save his own skin. But the NCAA won't rule until after the Grand Jury has investigated and indicted. Similarly, the length of the UNC investigation suggests there is a lot of evidence for the committee to corroborate and evaluate. It is certainly not a favor to the target of the investigation. The length of the investigation has devastated Roy Williams' recruiting. They are good this year, but there will be a big drop off. That's why UNC isn't self-sanctioning.
You read that and you're supposed to be thinking "poor, poor Rick Pitino. I feel so terrible for him!" It's ridiculous. Here's my thought...
At the very least, Rick looks up and sees Calipari has arrived at UK and he says, "Crap! How am I gonna compete with that?" He sees that first class Calipari signed in only a month or two and he's thinking he's in trouble. This rivalry, which he had done fairly well in for the previous years, is about to flip because of talent alone. Meanwhile, he's just finished embarrassing himself and the university with the Sypher affair. The brand is hurt and recruiting is hurt. So, what does he do?
Rick says to McGee- "Andre, we've got to do whatever it takes. When we get these recruits to campus, we've got to seal the deal. Now I'm gonna be involved when they get to campus and show them the facilities and campus, but then they're yours for the night. Do whatever is necessary to 'show them a good time.' I don't want to know. And if I find out, I'm still gonna say I don't know, and you're cut loose."
I say that's the least. This is an on campus, men's basketball dorm named after Rick's late brother in law. He keeps up with the percentage of body fat of each player. He knew when Chane was smoking weed and all his activities. This went on for years, not just once or twice. This man is the "Godfather" of Louisville. He knows what goes on, my friends. He knew about this and he was complicit in it. He may have set up a way to have plausible deniability, but he knew.

Reading between the lines, they've advised him that he may be asked to leave.
Translated: Rick, our guys will be in to up with your guys. We appreciate your service up to now and get us through the rest of this year. We see about next year.
Somebody needs to interview R3P's agent.

Crawford: he’s just trying to help his team have a good time
Exactly.
UofL fan - this shouldn't be hard to grasp. You know this to be the truth deep down inside.
Rumor has it a few illegal things went on, used in recruiting ,there,selling it may not cover it up,but out of sight ,out of mind.It's sure not because Pitino needs the money or can't afford it.
Might have to clean and disinfect the ceilings before the sale.
I don't claim to know anything,just a contractor that does some work around the state for Universities,Schools,and people with money that has friends in various trades that hear a few things,has more to do with football recruiting from what I heard.
squirtino btw may be funniest nickname of all time.SQUIRTino sounds like a broken man ..the arrogance is a sham..He has to know that Ramsey is getting ready to spring the tap door..The NCAA penalties will be much worse than this one season ban..Ole SCUMTino has put a stain on a slimy program that Lysol couldn't get out..uavel basketball will be handcuffed for years with the problems he has brought them..It really couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of Goobers..That had Ricky by the ballz with Sypher and Turtleneck let him off the hook..He violated the morals clause and they would have owed him nothing..but look at the crap they are facing now..L1C4..right...I cannot stop laughing..
Makes a lot of sense considering the Strong/Hurtt connection. If their football program gets rolled into this it's going to be like Christmas, Easter and Talk like a pirate day rolled into one.
I really don't care if the ncaa rules next week or next year. Nor do I care if Rick leaves tomorrow, or years from now. They're handicapped at this point, and it's entertaining as hell. Look, Staying in a jungle with roaming tigers is scary. Staying in a jungle and being stalked by a disabled tiger in a hoveround, is not scary. In fact it's damn amusing to watch. ![[smoke]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/smokin.r191677.gif "Cool [smoke]")
He's selling the Florida home(s) in order to pay for the laser surgery for removal of the UL tattoo on his back.
What exactly does L1C4 mean?
Will the turtleneck go after Mark Few or some big name to soften this blow that's coming their way?

Well done sir. You have me dying.![[roll]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/roll.r191677.gif "roll [roll]")
I didn't actually make the video. It came out back in Oct...I just had it bookmarked, lol
I have no doubt UL will try to get a big name, but why would any decent candidate want to go into that cesspool?
My guess is they'll need a caretaker for a few years, and then after some of the stench is gone, they will be able to bring in a decent coach to take over.
You have to understand how the corporate world works. These "investigators" are on an expense account, staying in lavish hotels, eating at the best restaurants and taking in some of the best "entertainment" each city has to offer. It's like a paid vacation and they drag it out as long as they can. I played the same game years ago.
A really good investigative journalist could expose corruption worse than New York City politics

Those idiots thought they had their bases covered owning the local media,but failed to coverup the network,Little Dick Richard Pitino Jr has dirty hands too,Daddy trying to distance him to save his cheating son,remember he was Donovan's Asst in Florida and ran the Florida network for a while.
Very unlikely. The NCAA does not have subpoena power. The Grand Jury in Kentucky is investigating fraud committed on UL's campus with state resources. So neither will be looking inside Pitino's Florida vacation home. The actual explanation is much simpler. Pitino is selling his home in Florida because he can quickly raise several million dollars, he needs very expensive legal representation, and he is about to lose his job. This is a smart time to do it because the Florida real estate market may be on the verge of another down leg.
You can bet it will never reach the people in Kentucky politics it should, some dirty dealings went on in Louisville involving elected officials and tax $$$. Ol' Mitch McConnell has had his hands in the UL piggy bank for quite a spell.
Pitino may need legal help,but it isn't going to cost him $ Millions$ and he doesn't have to sell his Florida home to pay that,Real Estate and home building is actually on an upturn.
Such lovely hypocrisy. He'll rebrand as Louisville first and yet when it's time to file the trademark, it's Pitino and not the University who has ownership. And the Louisville fans will eat it up without ever understanding the significance.
His future involves a Frankenstein lynch mob with torches running him out of loserville. The same media forced to lick his ball sack will turn on Him like a pack of hyena shredding him to pieces.
If Nixon cannot cover up watergate, how can these clowns cover up strippergate? He's toast and him along with everyone else knows it.. Never would Penn St. Fire Joe Pa , but this sleaze bag walks Scott free. My guess is at the very most strategic time he can find , he will " resign " his duties as coach. Then the ncaa will strip him of a NC and FF or two.
I told people for,years Rick helped us , but we helped him even more. Without UK this guy will not have a title under his belt that is anywhere near legit.. Your welcome traitor!!!

Bonus points anytime a Hogan's Heros reference is made!Slick knew way ahead of time he would need to cover his crusty old butt.

At the risk of derailing the thread, I am curious about one thing. If there are any attorneys on here, perhaps they can answer this.
Typically anytime you create something in the course of conducting your job, it's considered a "work for hire" and ownership of any related copyrights or trademarks is retained by the employer. Why doesn't that apply to Pitino in this case? Is it simply of function of that possibly not being included in his contract?
