Semi-OT: L'Ville Basketball and Escorts for Players

[Pudge]

Speaking of whores ...

Love to see these columns from Forde, Bozich ...and throw Wetzel, Wodjnaroski, Brown and Eric Crawford in ... these writers who licked the wax out of Ricky Pitino's ears suddenly get Jesus. They are the big hypocrites that damned Calhoun and they lauded both Pitino and Calipari. Ate with him; bet on the horses with him; savored his good moments. Excused his under table behavior. Now, look that Bozich article.

Shame. These guys suck.

Anyone know how much McGee made as an assistant coach at Louisville? If its not much, then its not likely he can pay for 22 'events.' That means they money had to come from somewhere. If said money came from the university (no one is insane to expense that, uh, never mind, forgot about a guy named Spitzer), from the head coach's pocket (Rick is going to jail if that is the case) or a university aligned booster, the Cards are screwed. If it was all paid by the assistant, Louisville will be punished; but, Rick will survive if he 'didn't' know about it, wink, wink, and the Cards will have their fall guy.

I think even lower level assistants make at least $200,000 at a school like Louisville. Probably more. I know Tom Moore made $150,000 10 years ago at UConn so that's what I'm basing my estimate on. Powell said she was paid about $10,000 over a 4-5 year period. So this isn't a lot of money and it's conceivable it could have come out of McGee's pocket.

There's also this text exchange between Powell and McGee in the book.

McGee: I'm telling you now cause we gotta talk about prices. I can't keep spitting out 200 and 250 up front. Its basketball season ... so we got some tickets ... so lets talk.

Powell: OK lets talk tickets then.

So it looks like not all the exchanges involved cash.

Gambling and high school girls. I'm there!

This is the first image that comes up when you do a Google image search for: Louisville Stripper.

Seems legit.

Edit: +10 bonus points for my man still wearing at least 1 golf shoe.

Now that is a tailgate.

Hard to start a post off better than that.

I remember reading about one assistant a few years ago who was making over $400,000! He wasn't the norm, but still.

That said, McGee was the Director of Basketball operations. I'd be a little surprised if he's getting 6 figures in that role. It's basically administrative.

That's almost as bad. A state employee offering tickets in exchange for services (or vice versa) is just about universally illegal. Trust me, after 20 or so years working at financial or accounting firms, I have had that concept drilled into my head on at least an annual basis when mandatory compliance update arises.
