Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2235366, member: 488"] This goes on everywhere. Most are more discreet about, but it's difficult to confine a matter of this scope to one program, and I think you'd find that the outrage level about 16 and 17-year olds mingling with hookers is lesser in other parts of the country than it might be here. My hunch is that this is child's play when compared to SEC football. It looks like Pitino's plausible deniability is intact, which means this is just as murky as just about every other NCAA investigation. Certainly, it's not a stretch to think he knew, but if you're calling for his termination, that's a tough hurdle to clear. This is a personal opinion, but Louisville isn't the school that makes me mad when I think of corruption in college athletics. There is a certain transparency to their shenanigans that is admirable, but more importantly, it is an institution unanimously loathed as repugnant. Louisville is the bad boy of college athletics and their evisceration - both by the NCAA and us - is all too convenient. At the end of the day, this is just a Conference USA school out here hustling. They're the the child of corruption and not the father. [/QUOTE]
