semi-OT: Louisville

[SECONN]

Now it's getting good!
UL remains passive

Looks like the prosecutor involved deals with crimes against minors so grand jury probably to prosecute the mom
according to louisville paper

so UL has a reason to remain passive for now, until the grand jury indicts possibly the mom and coach. Then it starts to get warm.

Swofford at ACC BB media day:

Q: Coach Pitino is not here today. Is it mandatory for coaches to attend and was he excused if it is, and what's your level of concern with the situation at Louisville right now.

SWOFFORD: In terms of Rick, yes in general it is mandatory for coaches to be here, but we did not feel it appropriate to try and stand in the way and negate legal counsel's advice that was given to the University of Louisville. We had discussions. Louisville knows that our strong preference is that all of our coaches be here. But these are extenuating circumstances, and I have to respect the legal advice that President Ramsey and the athletic director Tom Jurich and Coach Pitino were given. And we respect that.​

Cover up in progress. Fire and pay off McGee and don't say nuttin about nuttin.

Not so sure pleading the 5th works out so well for Rick the Trickster nor his staff Madam, especially if minors actually were involved.

Irrelevant as far as the NCAA. It is almost certainly the best course of action if there actually is a criminal matter.

Yes, a criminal investigation would be much more credible than the NCAA's.
There would still be non-criminal matters that are NCAA violations for the NCAA to follow-up on. But I trust law enforcement more for getting facts.

Pleading the 5th's irrelevant for the Trickster with the NCAA and probable with law enforcement, but not so helpful with reasonable media investigation and reporting and increasing public scrutiny. In the prior message, that point was more symbolically implied than clearly conveyed. On the other hand, the chirped like a chickadee madam's stuck with her internet book, media interviews, etc.

Looks like Powell will talk to the NCAA next week and hand over all of her materials.
