Pitino Not Expecting Additional Sanctions

[Uncle Dave]

14 strip shows, 11 sex acts and 2 refused sex acts and Rick P keeps his job. Sorry but to me there is something just wrong with Rick P still coaching. How does he recruit now with that on the record?

Believe it or not, UL has a really good class committed for 2017. Last year's class was good too. Realistically, they're gonna give the Cats fits at the Yum this year IMO. The attention span of the American public lasts about 15 minutes, and then PPPOOOOFFF stuff disappears.

Pitino gets charged but the team gets nothing, that is a big joke. This will teach them nothing at all.

This is not true in the slightest.

Louisville was hit with four level one (the harshest) infractions. The only thing that they really skirted was the dreaded "lack of institutional control," and they probably dodged that bullet by self-imposing last year.

Pitino will be suspended for some games, without a doubt. But the big question is what happens to that banner, since the findings pretty much confirm that Louisville played ineligible players during that championship run.

My guess is that because they won the title, they'll get to keep their banner. But Pitino will be suspended for 10-15 games, they'll lose two or three scholarships, be fined a heft amount of money, and have to forfeit a fair number of wins (but not the championship). Add that to the fact that they sat out a tourney already (in a year where they were a contender), I'd say that added together that's a pretty harsh punishment.

To say nothing of the embarrassment and stain that it brings to the program.

Because Louisville has no shame and the people that run the athletic department have no morals. Bottom line.

And he's recruiting just as well as he ever has, apparently. The sad fact is that nobody really seems to care.

Don't think that matters at all. RP get that many suspended games? Turtleneck won't let that happen. Forfeited games. So what? A fine?? So what? If they lose scholarships, that may hurt a tad.

Pretty scathing commentary by Bozich. Calling for Pitino to resign after the season. Also says McGee's silence has done more for Pitino and this scandal than anything else he could have ever done. I'm sure McGee has been paid well for that silence.

And I think this is the most shamefully thing of the whole situation, no one at UL seems to care. I went to a UL message board and no one is upset that paid sex acts occurred. They are happy nothing more was made of all this

Shameful IMHO!

Well I must have missed that news saying all that about the infractions. Everything I have ever read up until now was about the self imposed ban and the investigation was still ongoing at this point. So if you could send me that link where you read that.

It definitely hasn't hurt recruiting.

They're bringing a five-star player this weekend: Luguentz Dort.

LUGUENTZ DORT.

Jurich also says that UofL will appeal the failure to monitor charge against Pitino.

Even after he closed a restaurant to have an affair with a women on a table people still act like he would never look the other way.

What else do you suggest the NCAA do to them? Make them sit out another tournament, which ultimately punishes players that had nothing to do with it?

Pitino should lose his job and they should forfeit every game they won where they used ineligible players (including the championship). That should be the outcome of this.

My guess is that Pitino rides into the sunset after this season, so we kind of get that outcome anyway. And then we'll see if the NCAA has any cojones at all with the banner decision.

The NCAA will not go after their banner because the NCAA doesn't have stones to do so. They should but they won't. The NCAA will say those that those two players who rejected the sex were on that team so they will not touch the banner. My conspiracy theory of the day.

That seems to be the conspiracy theory that's making the rounds, and I guess it makes sense, knowing the NCAA and their justifications for nonsense.
