Just saw the press conference. Administrative leave is an HR policy and contractual requirement, but Pitino is out
Pitino to get his walking papers today
- Thread starter thetux1
- Start date
If he is fired he must be given 10 days' prior notice and “an opportunity to be heard.”
The contract says he may be fired for a number of reasons, including “disparaging media publicity of a material nature that damages the good name and reputation of the university… if such publicity is caused by employee's willful misconduct that could objectively be anticipated to bring Employee into public disrepute or scandal or which tends to greatly offend the public.”

One of the sports agents involved in the scandal said that the path to securing commitments from college athletes was through assistant coaches because the head coach ain't willing to take bribes cause they're making too much money. and it's too risky.Yeh sure! Maybe Pitino can use this as his defense.
Poor Rick is probably conferring with his lawyers thinking of the times he offered a recruit let's say 50 grand and saw that recruit sign elsewhere. He knows he was outbid but probably can't offer the Feds any proof.

Pitino denies every allegation ever made against him and his program
PITINO = PIECE OF $HIT
PITINO = PIECE OF $HIT
"I want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. And I want to clean it up. If there are somethings that have to be cleaned up—I know one thing, why I didn’t know about it: I guarantee if a chair gets broken at Minardi Hall and I find out about it, there’s going to be a problem. So you can bet if something like that was going on I’d be the last to find out about it, because all hell would pay. Right away. The moment it happened. All hell would pay."

Two questions:
How can UKY and UCONN escape?
How can Nike and all sneaker 'families' not join in the unpleasant headlines?

They're still sleeping fine.

I'm totally amazed that some posters here think that a guy who just got fired for getting caught up in an FBI investigated scandal and who also had that restaurant incident would suddenly be a hot commodity at SJU?
Your young and single and it's 4am closing time at a bar and desperate to score ( and under the influence ). It's last call and the June box starts playing " don't stop believing " . Do you go home or do beer goggles take over and you look for for the last girl standing who went from. 6 to a 9 with beer goggles
