Message: [QUOTE="bags27, post: 2472299, member: 6761"] I take your point. But we only know what the newspapers tell us, and often an institution will keep quiet about its own internal investigations in order to use that as future leverage (and, as it turns out, Pitino is suing). The University does not owe the public a full explanation. Obviously, Pitino was a wildly successful coach. Firing him has cost the University a lot of prestige, wins, and very possibly money. We have to believe that it felt that, after two other recent scandals, Pitino demonstrably failed yet again. An acting president just does not do this without the full support of the University's board, and the board does not want this unless it absolutely has to do it. [/QUOTE]
