board of trustees of universities are made up of corporate wimps who don't want to deal with this type of scandal but the university of louisville really likes winning. they like winning so much that they made pitino the third highest paid coach in college bball, built a brand new fancy arena recently and rehired a football coach who once left them hanging high and dry only to subsequently get caught having an extra marital affair with an ex student athlete after crashing his motorycle. i bet pitino survives.

i've copied your first reply on this. substitute 'university of louisville' w/'penn state'. substitute 'bball' w/'cfb'. substitute 'fancy new arena' w/'extensive expansions of beaver stadium', substitute the rehiring of petino w/the allowance of reknowned ass't coach being allowed to have an office on campus working w/a kids organization even after psu execs knew about his prior investigations, shower incident, etc.

i think your first thought was right. some universities will go to incredible extremes to protect what they see as the most visible marketing entity they have.

the parallel between louisville and psu may be similiar  but the reactions given to each are not.  jay bilas, one of the most respected analysts in all of college sports immediately defended pitino yesterday.  but in 2011, was one of the harshest critics of paterno when none of the facts were known.  if it turns out that this louisville assistant went rogue and had this secret recruiting tactic that no one else knew about, should pitino still be held responsible for not knowing what was happening?  

Did Pitino look the other way?

imho, yes. basketball ops are much smaller in scale than football... much easier to know what's going on, in terms of both behavior of players/staff and, more importantly, how finances are being used.

and i disagree 100% w/how you're characterizing the reax. i listened to espnradio for a while yesterday am, and caught an hour of the herd on fs1 at lunch. both were absolutely raking pitino over the coals on this. so to say he's getting a free pass from the media is simply wrong.

You don't need to speak for Mark, LZ. He has done more than enough speaking himself and has shown his "true colors."

Color me confused at the moment. Lz got the analogy.

Makes two of us. I just had a WTF moment reading that.

Did Pitino look the other way?

maybe?  too soon to tell.  but  it doesn't sound like he immediately scheduled a meeting with the athletic director and head of local police like paterno did.

Well, whatever you meant seems prejudiced.

Yeah. Shame on him for saying something about black hookers. Thought it was interesting that the mother was pimping out her daughters. The family that fucks together, sucks together?

This isn't about Penn State, so give it a rest.

With Louisville, I say follow the money. Most GA's don't have $10,000 in cash at their disposal. If they were provided the money, which is the most likely, who provided it? And, if they were reimbursed, what backup documentation was provided, and who signed off on it?

Does that mean black madams, prostitutes, and strippers are not credible? Why not?

Only you would attempt to deduce that from what has been said here. Unreal...

that was not the intent, nor the meaning, of my post, saying if what is being alleged is true. i first heard the report on the radio, and had no idea of the race of the women involved. and if i'd known, i would have made the same statement.

The majority are liars, criminals and drug addicts.
