The Official UofL Thread (UPDATE: Pitino, Jurich Reportedly Out)

[KevinHall]

If Pitino isn't implicated, he'll certainly survive. I'd bet my life on it.

I'm sure about that. I do wonder about Sean Miller and Bruce Pearl?

Hard to see a world where those two don't survive but Ricky Three Stacks does.

No way. He's done.

[George]

I'm sure about that. I do wonder about Sean Miller and Bruce Pearl?

Is anyone surprised Bruce is involved?

And if AZ is implicated, does anyone worry about pursuing Sean Miller in the future? I mean, we accepted Cal...

[George]

No way. He's done.

This is Louisville we're talking about, lilpro. You've been around long enough to know how that athletic department works.

[Joneslab]

If they draw a line to this Arizona assistant the way they have with UofL then no, Miller would have to be off the table as a replacement for Cal.

Envelopes full of cash is sort of a deal breaker.

That's a hindsight requirement at best.

Honestly, you're right, but if it's as bad as it looks, we're talking Death Penalty level stuff here. This is lack of institutional control level where the whole department may have to go.

[Joneslab]

And according to the indictment, Arizona is probably the most screwed of all. They might as well have been backing up dumptrucks full of cash to recruits' homes.

[TrueblueCATfan]

LMAO....UL is at it again......they should get the death penalty

[Dwight Schrute]

Help me understand here: what crime is committed here that the FBI is involved? Obviously it's an NCAA no-no, but jail time?

We (you might've started it) were just talking about Arizona's recent heater on the recruiting trail.

I was wondering that, too.

Bribery I believe.

[Dwight Schrute]

Bribery I believe.

I guess what I'm unclear on is why the FBI is involved. We've had these issues of schools paying players in college sports for decades. What's the difference? The scale on which it happened?
