Can't embed, but this should come at no surprise at this point. Adios Ricky, Hello 2013 National Championship! (Even if they vacate and don't officially recognize Michigan, I'm still gonna celebrate)

And how clean is he?
You get the distinct impression that everyone at Louisville knew what was going on, and was perfectly fine with it.
This goes for the full chain of command at Kentucky too.

2 peas in one lying cheating pod
September 27th, 2017 at 11:27 AM ^
The AD, Tom Jurich just got fired.
September 27th, 2017 at 11:28 AM ^
The AD was asked to fire Pitino and wouldn't do it -- now both are gone.
September 27th, 2017 at 11:29 AM ^
And it still won't be enough to save Louisville from the death penalty.
September 27th, 2017 at 11:51 AM ^

Louisville is not getting the death penalty. The NCAA has stopped just short of directly saying they will never institute that penalty ever again.
If they didn't give Penn State the death penalty for covering up child rape, and if they didn't give it to Baylor for committing essentially the same atrocities to protect its football program, they're not giving it to Louisville. While what Louisville did is pretty bad, it is nowhere close to being as atrocious as what those two schools committed.

Good riddance of that rat-bag
September 27th, 2017 at 11:32 AM ^
Huge. Or as Pitino would say Uge.
GO BLUE!!

Seriously, has any school consistently given off more sleaze vibes than Louisville - a school that "suddenly" became a football powerhouse? For years, Louisville has seemed like a ticking timebomb - the UNLV or Miami of today.
September 27th, 2017 at 12:15 PM ^
Petrino is probably just as sleazy as Pitino.
Petrino - Pitino. Coincidence? I think not.
September 27th, 2017 at 1:17 PM ^
I always thought that Calipari would go before Pitino
September 27th, 2017 at 1:20 PM ^
Always found it quite ironic that arguably the biggest scumbag in college football (Petrino) and arguably the biggest scumbag in college basketball (Pitino) both found themselves at the same school at the same time.
I have to believe that even though Petrino was given a second chance, that he still has shady shit going on there. He's a great coach, but people like him never change.
September 27th, 2017 at 11:52 AM ^
The irony of this all is that ESPN will be knocking down the door trying to hire that lying, cheating, scumbag as an Analyst for their network.

It does not mean Michigan gets to claim it, just as OSU's vacating the 2010 season doesn't mean Michigan RR can claim a victory.
It's pathetic, because that team should have beatem them anyways...
September 27th, 2017 at 12:18 PM ^
Pitino is a scuzzball.
He thought he was hot stuff in college, then got schooled in the NBA and came running back in shame. I guess he couldn't handle playing on a level field
Then comes slithering back to college where he knew he could stack the deck in his favor. Throw the book at him, and then reserve a place for him in the special circle in hell for cynical cheaters.
September 27th, 2017 at 12:40 PM ^
saying both are on administrative leave and have not been fired "yet".
September 27th, 2017 at 12:43 PM ^
Gotta feel for them......
Wondering if they'll still get the hookers.....
Sad...just sad....
September 27th, 2017 at 12:49 PM ^
Imagine we'll see a few other heads roll.
September 27th, 2017 at 12:51 PM ^
Poetic justice that one of the biggest slimeballs in the game coached his last game and lost to the cleanest coach in the game.
September 27th, 2017 at 12:56 PM ^
Pitino, 65, released a statement after news of the charges was announced Tuesday, saying: "These allegations come as a complete shock to me."
What he meant was, "the fact that I got caught comes as a complete shock to me."

September 27th, 2017 at 8:51 PM ^
Why not both?
September 27th, 2017 at 11:40 PM ^
Good luck with your defense Mr. Pitino, you are going to need it. Hopefully, you fail.

How many coaches will pull a Pete Carrol within the next few weeks?
September 27th, 2017 at 2:09 PM ^
Or an Urban?
September 27th, 2017 at 2:09 PM ^
September 27th, 2017 at 3:29 PM ^
Can't hide from the feds in the pros.
September 27th, 2017 at 2:07 PM ^
Looking at a UL board today makes me wonder if all lil bro schools suffer from being delusional. They're freaking out about the AD geeting axed.
The hooker scandal had nothing at all to do with Jurich. Posted by cardsinindy2010 on Sep 27, 2017 | 11:11 AM Jurich wasn't involved in keeping Pitino after the hooker scandal? Posted by KCCards on Sep 27, 2017 | 11:15 AM Supported him 100% Posted by RMacfan1 on Sep 27, 2017 | 11:16 AM Crazy. Posted by KCCards on Sep 27, 2017 | 11:17 AM As he should have. Posted by TNCard on Sep 27, 2017 | 11:24 AM Yep Posted by cardsinindy2010 on Sep 27, 2017 | 11:24 AM
"Supported him" (meaning Pitino) "100%" "as he should have". Holy crap!

That feel when Beilein is your coach and you just sit back and enjoy the fireworks.
September 28th, 2017 at 1:17 AM ^
He'll be fired in 9 days. They just have to give him a notice per his contract. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. And if we're lucky, he will be blacklisted from ever coaching again. In college and the pros.
