Rick was good while he was here, but I'm so glad we didn't have him later..as I've said before..we would have fired him if he put in the same performance he had at uofl his first 7 yrs and then combine that with the Sypher ordeal. He didnt really do anything at UofL until Cal got here.
My guess is the money was coming from the Louisville Foundation. They have already hired lawyers without being mentioned in the scandal. Why would they need lawyers unless they were involved?
Some bazooka gum and lemon heads would be better! Just had to add to this thread, just wow and awesome!!Would ya like a pack of skittles and some bonkers to go with that?

After the dust settles and Rick is out who will replace him?
One Louisville guy is telling me that if pitino is let go he can get another job at a beg time college. I said maybe a small college with no morals. I said pitino isn't a young coach and he doesn't recruit very well.
Tubby will be brought in to right the ship!
Awwww come on guys you know their doing things the right way[winking] [roll][laughing] [jumpingsmile]
Thats what I have also said..the fans are like the poor community that Pablo Escobar builds parks and community centers for..they love him for what he's done for them..turn a blind eye to the things his done to be able to do soUL is run more like a cartel than a public university.
It's appalling.
Send Slick to Texas Tech and let Tubby replace him at U of Lol.One Louisville guy is telling me that if pitino is let go he can get another job at a beg time college. I said maybe a small college with no morals. I said pitino isn't a young coach and he doesn't recruit very well.
At a minimum, IMO anyway, Rick Pitino should be suspended until U of L has a reason to "un-suspend' him. His claims that he knew nothing are essentially irrelevant.
Pee Wee Herman has the look and a record as a public deviant already. I'd say that makes him uniquely qualified. If he is unavailable, then Ernest P Worrell should make a fine catch as well. Already has that meth head look. I'd say both had to pay for most everything they got in life.
I would suggest Don King, but he's getting a bit long in the tooth.
None are basketball coaches you say? To which I'd reply, what difference has that made?
Yet another scandal at Louisville! Nobody should be surprised. And nobody should be surprised with what happened today.
What exactly happened today? In my mind, it was the same "business as usual" mentality that has permeated U of L athletics for most of the last decade. With the news that at least two young men verified at least some of what the school has been accused of, predictably, U of L leadership reacted accordingly. And when I say accordingly, I mean predictably.
Louisville President James Ramsey found the time to publicly endorse his athletics director. I find that absolutely stunning. When you look at the culture Tom Jurich has created with his "win at any cost" mentality, how could any reasonable person not hold him responsible for the happenings within HIS athletics department?
I think the "Jurich culture" is at least partly to blame for this disaster. How many kids has U of L taken as transfers that few others (or no others) would touch? How was Rick Pitino not suspended for, say, one year due to his disgusting personal conduct reference the Sypher scandal? I still have no idea how Tom Jurich was able to bring back Bobby Petrino. This is a guy that couldn't have treated U of L worse prior to leaving the first time. I guess his gutless exit from Atlanta and abhorrent behavior in Fayetteville were also irrelevant to Jurich. I'm not saying Petrino didn't deserve to be considered for big time jobs (because he's a very good football coach), but U of L?
And so today, President Ramsey gives Jurich a pat on the back. Rick Pitino says he isn't going anywhere. THIS is the culture I'm talking about. At a minimum, IMO anyway, Rick Pitino should be suspended until U of L has a reason to "un-suspend' him. His claims that he knew nothing are essentially irrelevant. It's clear now that things happened under his watch. This man has already proven that he's void of integrity and character. This makes two massive scandals in a 5-6 year window. How is he still being allowed to influence young people?
Then there's Tom Jurich. I have little doubt that he knew nothing of hookers and strippers, but this is the culture HE created. HE allowed Willie Williams to transfer in. HE allowed Devonte Fields to transfer in. HE kept Rick Pitino. HE brought back Petrino. And I won't even mention the fleece job reference the Yum Center. When you "roll the dice" on these things, you're supposed to pay the price if things go wrong. Well, things have gone horribly wrong.
IMO, Tom Jurich should be fired. If the university keeps him, they're just endorsing the culture that has led to embarrassment after embarrassment for the city, state, and university.
A reputable university with a respectable President would have said something like this:
"I find the allegations involving our men's basketball program extremely disturbing and I pledge to the Uof L university community and the taxpayers that support it, to protect its integrity as an institution of higher learning committed to complying with NCAA regulations, that I intend to conduct a thorough and independent investigation to arrive at the facts and truth. I will share the findings with law enforcement officials so that any illegal conduct may be properly prosecuted and I will take appropriate action against anyone in the university community found to be involved or complicit in any behavior that violates the law, NCAA regulations or ethical standards inherent in an institution of higher learning. Pending the outcome of that investigation, I have suspended our Athletic Director and head men's basketball coach."
Of course, we know that didn't and won't happen. If a university president won't even publicly admonish a coach that acknowledged in a federal court under oath that he had sex in a public restaurant while others guarded the door, one can't expect that he would do anything different in this context.
I don't think that would've happened. While it's hard to guess what a different future would look like, I've always thought Coach Pitino would've been more successful than Coach K if he had stayed at UK. In fact, I've always thought we would be much closer to UCLA in titles, too.
Coach Pitino at UK and Rick at UL have always been different people to me and they always will be. I just hope BBN will welcome Coach Pitino when he finally does retire. This is his home, not UL.
