The direct result of monetizing college sports. Not surprised at all.

According to my sources neither was fired. They were both put on administrative leave.

You may want to fire your sources ... No way Pitino survives this after everything that's happened, and same with Jurich for the optics of this + everything that's happened.

This. I'd be very surprised if this was only going on in basketball.

Just now, NAS Gone to Paradise said:

I didn’t say he/they would.  The fact remains, they haven’t been fired yet, as reported by Kent Taylor. Fake News!😆😕

Unless you can disprove what's in print media across the interwebs right now, your "facts" are fake news!

Rick is gone from Louisville.  Bye bye

Now its going to get scary if we lose Harlan.  This probably won't be the only attractive opening.  

I would be surprised if he was playing in that pond.   Seems like it was the big boys.

Louisville placed basketball coach Rick Pitino on unpaid administrative leave Wednesday, the school announced. Pitino's attorney told the Courier-Journal his client was "effectively fired."

Cool, thanks, Dogma, for doing what NAS was likely incapable of doing.  Copying and pasting is hard.
