Message: [QUOTE="Bayareahusky, post: 2356619, member: 2136"] This Louisville program is off the rails.... it always has been on edge.... with several run ins over the years.... but on the trifecta of big problems for Pitino 1. extortion attempt 2009.... problem with a lady who was not his wife.... a very private issue which became public.... too bad.... but it is a private issue 2. Sex and prostitute issue..... it is beyond me how he escaped this..... just by stonewalling and saying "I had no knowledge of it".... his team is 15 players only... and his staff is 3? One of whom set this whole thing up and never said one word to Pitino ... Pitino never ever heard one word about anything going on OK I am on a college campus in whatever capacity.... and there is sex going on quite openly in a major dormitory.... and prostitutes coming and going.... and nobody knows about it outside the team.... i read some of the reports..... it was not in a locked cordoned off portion of the dorm it was very much in the open..... i know there is a still-going investigation of this.... but still you would think 3 years is a long time to deliberate on this.... 3. The present scandal..... OK here we are again Pitino.... "I had no knowledge of any wrongdoing.... no player payoffs or undue influencing".... OK Rick you are lily white again.... The FBI investigation has released information claiming that a coach, identified as you, through wiretaps apparently, verbally approved $100,000 to go to this recruit...... Pitino should be out of basketball and Louisville should be given death penalty..... a year or two is fine with me ... long enough to disrupt its program... and oh yes take away that 2013 championship....
