Yes. I know what you mean. Given their two basketball and football coaches a Uol sponsored sex scandal would be perfect. Maybe too perfect. But if not true then UofL and McGee will own that publishing company, which its why I think it's true.
Rick's comments yesterday came after a month+ knowledge that a book was being written. So he spoke carefully crafted and measured words.

The fact that he portrayed himself as the "innocent victim of a rogue staffer IF this happened" makes it clear: it happened. He knows it. No doubt about it.

So let me get this straight...loservile would have reasonable people believe that a grad assistant with a year of euro ball paycheck a under his belt financed this alone? No. Further, the head coach brings "top recruits" to campus and has no oversight over them or knowledge of what they're doing and who they're doing it with EVERY second? Again, no. Plausible deniability.

Just about finished the book last night. Probably wasted my money but I wanted to see what was said and who was involved. I'm not sure how it will be proven just because she is a hooker and in the book said she lost like 700 text messages. The pictures are there but it could just be them paying for photos. I mean looking at the pictures you know what was going on but that still isn't proof. I yes Siva never had sees just massages and the tall dude with the African name never did either. Oh chane was balls deep in it and no pun intended. Who is a recruit named Jordan? I guess his dad got in on it.

Here's where it gets dicey. The NCAA is interviewing players that Pitino recruited heavily, but went elsewhere.

Those players will be pretty easy to coerce into spilling the beans......LSU's Blakeny has been interviewed.....

LilBro is always the best at everything...most profitable, best college sports town, top athletics director in the nation, etc....

Maybe they can spin a new one to the list... "The nations Bawdiest Program."

You cannot spell Lewd and Lascivious without throwing up the L.

I for one think it's far from a slam dunk that U of L gets into any significant trouble over this from the NCAA. Unless a player/parent comes forward. But the damage to Pitino and Jurich is immeasurable. Pitino won't be there more than another year, if he's there all of this year. His son won't get the job when he leaves. Jurich just lost the best job in college (AD at Texas), and it's only a matter of time before Petrino does something.

As someone mentioned before, the ACC must be thinking "why did we invite this university again?" The academic reputation was already a red flag. Now this.

They just need to prove the texts came from McGee. If they came from McGee it won't matter if anyone comes forward. At least that's how it logically should work, we are talking about the NCAA here,

When they offer Blakeny immunity if he rolls over or loss of eligibility if they find he lies or doesn't cooperate, the truth should come out no matter what.

Wonder if this and UL's knowledge of this could have any correlation between all the 2nd chances CB and KW got, Russ and Montrezl puzzling decision to return and Rozier abrupt departure.

I was SO hoping IU would be the school that set them up. That would have been perfect.

Think you are going to see this is more a treat for the kids dad, brothers, handlers, hanger on than players themselves.
Let me ask anyone, If you are an 18 year old high profile kid, do you really need prostitutes or old washed up holes to make your time there great. I mean UL is an Urban school and has some nice looking people that attend minus the line beard crowd and tatted up crew. They have hostesses that do that and you don't have to pay.

I think you are going to see everyone from dads, uncles, handlers, players involved. An old guy would be more apt to push their kid there.
IMO

"We had a new recruit from Cleveland named Terry, dark-skinned, big black d***. This time I copped out and took tickets instead of money. This time it was TooTall and Ne-Ne that took down the new recruit, but I know that it was my girl TooTall that worked her magic. Get it, girl."

I think it's safe to say that Terry Rozier is about they only ex-Card who will not be denying any of the allegations in the book.[laughing]

The IU AD was specifically referred to by Jurich, more than once.

Don't forget the dead cheerleader who died in a players apt/dorm?

The Chris Jones stuff that appeared to be a cover up in progress when first disclosed.

This rabbit hole goes on and on and has a lot of turns and twists.

Love how the Tard fans are handling this.

SoundSlave said:
If true, I'm just frustrated that they used the services of that nasty piece of stray, and not a premium escort. I mean really, if you want to get the five star guys you have to provide them with five star women. What does it tell a recruit when you send in some broken down stripper with stretch marks and bullet holes all over her body? SMH.

I did find it odd that Pitino mentioned that he would forgive Andre McGee in his press conference.

That to me indicated that maybe Pitino really was aware of it.

Very odd IMO if Pitino really is innocent in all of this.

Maybe a stretch, but as someone mentioned earlier...

That immediately struck me as odd.
