Money orders being sent from out of state, there will be a lot of people involved in investigation.

Unless they can get some of the players and recruits to confirm the pictures and related content, from what I am reading nothing shows actual sexual contact just women with players. A he said, she said may go nowhere. Plus, it look predictable to me that they will throw this ex-coach under the bus and say he may have arranged some trysts that no one associated with the program (Pitino) was aware of it. Common sense doesn't apply in these cases just proof.
Whether the coach was aware or not is irrelevant. If these girls were paid for by a coach that HAS to be both (1) lack of institutional control and (2) impermissible benefits. I could see a decent size hammer come down on this. I don't like Pitino but I do kinda feel bad for him. I'm sure he had nothing to do with it. He looked pretty crushed in that press conference.

CJ and mouthpiece Crawford already in full protection mode. Pitiful and shameless.

I don't know man, the UofL people I know (one of whom was VERY connected during the Crum years) are very, very nervous. There's a growing sense of dread. The more reasonable and knowledgeable ones don't have anything to say at all.

Just when you think pitino/petrino/jurich/ramsey can't get any lower, they manage to burrow a little deeper into the cesspool that is louisville athletics

.S&C, I know we don't see eye to eye on several things and I think we have another. I don't think those fans will want him out. I'd say a parade is far more likely. I'd say Christmas is more likely to involve a big red bow and I'm not sure what else she'll be wearing.

Now the administration will likely be upset with him. At least those that got left out.

Sorry, couldn't resist. This is funnier than a Duke coed with a flair for creating power points.

If any of you all have any song writing producing skills I think the following would be comic gold........Do a spoof of "me and bobby Mcgee" by Janis Joplin....you can do "Me and Andre McGee" from the voice of Madam Katina.

Be kind, I donated ten minutes of my life for this

Makin' cash at u of l
got my girls pullin a train
it was a trashy and a cashy kind of scene

Andre laid the money down
man he made it rain
hit the atm and made it scream

well i pulled my crusty diaphragm
out of a dirty red bandana
I was blowing soft and Chane he did some blues

yeah

didn't keep much track of time
we was all workin on Andre's dime
we took care of all of Ricks recruits

Money's just another way of
gettin what ya need
and you'll be needin,
cause honey Nae Nae, she ain't free

no

feeling good was easy lord
with an up front fee
feeling good with me and Andre McGee


From seventh street to Floyd street
all the players knew the game
and Andre put the money on the line

my daughters made me proud yeah
with every guy they done
yeah momma showed them how make them blow yeah

Then one day up in Menardi, lawd
the bastard wouldn't pay
he thought he found some free, but he didn't find it

So i'm trading all my secrets lawd
for one more big pay day
courtesy of that dirty bird Andre McGee

Yeah

Nae Nae Nae, Nae Nae Nae Nae....

I doubt it. The Louisville fanbase is loyal to a fault. They'll swallow anything Tom Jurich tells them to. When off the field problems occured during Petrinos first run they ignored it. When Rick Pitino had a full nights dinner date without leaving the table they never questioned it. When Charlie Strong insisted on bringing Clint Hurtt a known cheater they all embraced "Thats my guy!" There were a very minor few who objected to bringing Petrino back after he'd already burned them and had his biking accident in Arkansas but the vast majority of their fanbase was thrilled to have the head scumbag back. Of course if you go to their football forums you'll see all the fans complaining he's a changed man and not as big of an a-hole as he used to be. They want the old Bobby.

Louisville fans aren't disgusted by anything their school does, they revel in it.

No, Hurtt was fine. To them "it's the same thing Cal does", except, ya know, Cal doesn't have a show cause stemming from a cancelled check with his name on it.

Doesn't matter though, Calipari is a slimeball and UofL does things the right way.

Momma is pimping out her daughters to fathers and sons! Does this give new meaning to " a family affair". I mean, it certainly seems that a lot of people got to feeling all warm and fuzzy up in Minardi Hall.

The only thing I remember really disagreeing about is the bias in favor of schools like UNC and Duke and the anti-UK sentiment that exist. This is just another example of how you're wrong on that one. If this were UK, the story would be MASSIVE, Much much larger than it is currently for Louisville. If this were UNC the story wouldn't barely be reported.

Other than that, we agree. I find very few of your post I don't agree with. And yea, im really enjoying this as well.

I agree with you guys on that, but he's done. There's been so much cover for go through the years. I think Louisville is going to recognize its time for the change.

There are so many good slogans to use....its a target rich environment.

Fourni-gate
Whoricane Katina
Papa Johns (the dads of the recruits who were serviced)
The Billy Minardi Gentlemen's Club aka Little Brothel
L1C4nicate and many other versions

I personally have been given a treasure trove of bits to use.

It seems not unsurprising that there is a picture out there on the Interwebs of Louisville's most famous female fan - who they trotted out on camera for last year's UK/UL game (wonder how much Turtleneck paid for that?) - post-facial.

And I'm not talking about the kind you get at a beauty salon.

Seriously, is there an academic institution out there that has a more sorry recent history when it comes to the treatment of women? Other than Duke of course.

Per the book they provided alcohol to minors, which is a crime. And they provided hookers....

What's the possibility that they also provided weed and/or pills--or something stronger? The Madam was pretty specific about Chane liking the weed, did she see him smoking it? Was it being passed around? With everything else going on, would be reasonable to think it was present--and is so, who brought it?

If proved as it is alleged in the book, with LilBro having a Little Brothel in the Billy Minardi Gentlemens Club....then Pitino is without a doubt finished. He cannot survive this, the second sex scandal during his tenure. I am fairly sure he probably has month to come to grips with this fact but is waiting to see if they can come up with a Hail Mary. Lacking it....he's done.

Recruiting: It is toast for now. Will mom allow their son to go to visit a place like that? And worse..... if still with dad....allow hubby to become a Papa John.

Recruiting alone would be a reason for them to hire a new coach. I would almost prefer they keep Pitino as I really don't see any parent allowing their child to go and play for him. You clean house and hire a new coach and you can at least say "look all that old bad stuff is out of here, its a new regime and we're going to do things the right way". Of course they will more than likely be dealing with sanctions etc. I actually hope RP stays as i think it will be best case for rival fans.

God forbid Wayne Blackshear focus on basketball, developing his character, and becoming a better player for his one shot at millions than being a "freak" (Katina's words) and having threesomes with ******.

It's all just sick and sad really.
