Don't get your hopes up. Pitino is going nowhere. Just as likely to get a raise and extension.

The university is totally corrupt and most doesn't involve Athletics. Others will take the blame and there will be statements of regret and promises. That **** hole fan base will forgive and life will go on.

yep. As tawdry as this is, it's a sports story. The Sypher thing crossed over into general news - I remember some panel on CNN talking politics and culture, and they were discussing Pitino/Sypher. One of them said something close to "Pitino would be fired from any other school in the country." We found out later that Jurich told Ramsey that if he tried to fire RP, Jurich would leave with him. It's obvious who runs that place. Now Jurich is saying he has a perfect record, evidently with a straight face.

If he wasn't fired over Sypher, no way he's fired over this.

The difference here would be rules violations. Hookers are an impermissible benefit.

Yep, the quote below by hoghead pretty much tells you (as if we had any doubts anyway LOL) that there's about a 0% chance he or combover Ramsey will fire him.

"Jurich said he has been in contact with coach Rick Pitino about the allegations."
"We talk all the time. He's my basketball coach," Jurich said. "He wouldn't condone this either. He has a perfect track record."

Of course they gave it to Forde. Now he owes them (more than he already did). He'll pay it with kid gloves the rest of way. I expect you'll see he breaks a lot of stories, just before someone else has something good. His job is to deflate balloon and make sure all facts are spun Louisville's way from here out.

Absolutely right. You want to give this story to someone who will protect you.

When Petrino came back to UofL, his first big interview, the one where he finally sat down and talked about all he'd been through, was given to Forde. Anyone whose read Forde knows that if there's one person Forde has treated worse than Cal, it's Petrino. Forde later said himself that his columns on Petrino were among the "meanest" he'd ever written. So, why in the world if you're Petrino would you give that story/interview to Forde of all people? Because it was arranged by Jurich.

Rick is saying that it is all just a misunderstanding. He believes that McGee was just doing what he wanted when he overheard Rick say that he wanted the best F-----ing players in the country. It was all just an innocent mistake.

I said in the other thread that at least for LilBro the positive is that Texas will have no further interest in Jurich.

If Louisville retains everyone after yet another massive embarrassment AND athletic scandal, they will be seen as the filth that they are. Let them stay together with Petrino and Pitino. I don't believe either of them can make it recruiting anymore anyway.

Oh and they are going to lose a banner.

Louisvillle is holding on to poison.

Ater a stormy Friday evening for his program, U of L athletic director Tom Jurich has elected to skip Saturday's football game against North Carolina State so that he can fly home and personally meet with the Louisville basketball recruits currently on campus. Jurich arrived in Raleigh this afternoon and will fly back to Louisville Saturday morning at 10.

Seriously? That is the excuse they came up with to explain Jurich flying back to Louisville? Nice cover story but it does not add up at all. It is much more likely that this is blowing up even more than expected and he is headed back to Louisville for further damage control. A couple recruits on campus are by far the least of his worries at this point. And does anyone really think that Jurich is the reason a recruit would be swayed?

No....its much deeper than that.

Absolutely. Forde drops this bomb late friday evening. It was a planned crisis management situation. Even the terrible press conference was planned. How poorly that press conference went, tells you how bad its about to get.

Also the fact Forde broke this for them, tells you theyve known about it for awhile. So theyve already been notified of alof of the evidence coming in the book. It must be devastating, if this response is the best they can muster.

ESPN could do an hour special on college basketball, featuring UL, called "Bros and Hoes, The Making of a Program."

This will make a GREAT 30 for 30 in about 2 years. Hopefully they move it to Cinemax though.

The hypocrisy and damage control from U of L fans is hilarious. Some discount it entirely, but those who don't are saying "this happens at every school," or "no way Pitino knew about this," etc. It's comical.

Pretty insightful analysis bigblue and I believe you're right. Now all the cars the players were driving and the women being provided connects, there is no spin maneuver they have here, somebody has to go on this one.

I was amazed that both Jurich and Pitino seemed almost distraught. And they found out about this back in late August and have had ample time to do opposition research into the story. It is clear to me that they know this is bad and about to get worse. Had this not been true....for one...they would have released it themselves and not allowed Forde to do it. They would have found a way to release it through their friendly media outlet the CJ. The CJ would have focused on getting out the info that discredited the Madam. So as media savvy as the propaganda machine at lil bro is....this has got to be true and headed worse.
