That's actually longer than he reportedly lasted on the dining room table of the Italian restaurant.
There are pills for such a condition.amercer said:

Pitino and other head coaches might not get involved and get a piece of $50k bribes. It's chump change to them. I don't think he touches it.
However, they do have a contract and receive money from shoe companies. Pretty simple to tie that shoe contract to the bribery scheme.
You can also tie Pitino's big contract to the bribery scheme. That's what allowed him to get great recruits, go to Final Fours, etc - thus earning $7 million per year.
I don't think the head coaches will get hit as hard as assistants and shoe middlemen. But no way are they scot free.

Looks like neither Pitino nor Jurich were fired. They were placed on administrative leave (Pitino no pay, Jurich pay).
Pitino "effectively" fired whatever that means.
Please, Please, Please, Please, Please let this be true

BREAKING NEWS: Rick Pitino OUT at #Louisville. Tom Crean could emerge as interim head coach candidate.
Are the players involved going to be allowed to play this season? Such as Brian Bowen?
Nope, the president said they were suspended for now until after the investigation is finished.EKG1996 said:

No matter how much of a corrupt degenerate Petino is, I still find him likeable for some reason.
Still hoping the sips and Baylol are caught up in this and we come out smelling like a rose.

I wonder if this is going to bring down the AAU system? When you have publicly traded companies such as Nike, Under Armour and Addias involved heavily with AAU teams, which is involved the agents, I would think that the shoe companies would be worried.
How much of the money that finances these elite AAU teams come from the shoe companies?

Damn youre quick. Was just coming here to post that.
Wikipedia already has Tom Crean as interim HC of "University 6" and that is incredibly amusing to me.
Nvm, fake
Geez man, you managed to mention politics and football, just go for the trifecta and ***** for Sumlin to be fired. lol

Tucson article concerned that Arizona's 2018 recruiting class could now go up in smoke, among other things.

Apparently one of their current 2018 commits is almost certainly not going to be playing for Zona now:

Jahvon Quinerly is unlikely to play for Arizona, and may not play college ball at all. Quinerly appears to be the player given money from agents through Richardson and if the NCAA finds he took it, Quinerly could be suspended for part or all of his freshman season (though it may be more likely at this point he doesn't play college ball at all, and just plays professionally overseas before joining the 2019 NBA Draft).
I'll be honest, this seems like a lot of taxpayer money spent to investigate something that isn't really costing anyone in the public anything.
I know they can make this a federal thing because of the bribery and now they're trying to say that causing an athlete to be ineligible can be a federal offense, but I'm not really sure it should be.
The question to me is who are the victims here. I know that for legal purposes they're trying to frame this as fraud with the schools themselves as the victims because they receive federal funding, but the athletic departments don't really. Certainly not ones like Louisville or Oklahoma State.
The schools are not the victims, they allowed this to happen. The government and the taxpayers aren't victims because there's no federal funding going to these sort of programs. The players themselves are maybe victims in the sense that this funding scheme excludes them, but that's not what this is about.
As nice as it would be to see the whole "amateurism" system come crashing down, I'm not sure that it's a great way to spend taxpayer money.

I agree that in the post-9/11 world I'm not sure I really want the FBI prioritizing this investigation, but they did kind of stumble into it via the securities fraud investigation and just followed the strings. I'd more bothered by a misallocation of investigative resources if they set out initially to break this thing open.bobinator said:

It could be argued that the undoubtedly squeaky clean, federally funded institutions like Texas A&M, that play by all the rules, both NCAA and the law of land, are who gets harmed and defrauded since they aren't able to compete on a level playing field with the rest who use their illegal corruption and inducements.
Agreed, but they're definitely allocating resources to it now.DTP02 said:bobinator said:
