From the unsealed indictment.  Wonder what Slick Rick will have to say for himself now!

 

Hope that scumbag enjoys retirement.

Oh, there will be some school out there that will hire him.  NCAA problems didn't prevent Calipari, Larry Brown or Kelvin Sampson from getting college coaching jobs and those are just the first 3 that come to mind.  Pitino very much deserves an NCAA show cause action such that he can never coach college ball again.

I'm watching Special Report with Bret Baier. They had a report that said an Indictment opened today showed Rick Pitino was well aware of what was going on.

Sadly, I fear you speak the truth. What a cesspool.

I hope he keeps coming out with these self-serving statements and just keeps digging his hole deeper and deeper.

Louisville also announced Wednesday that it has terminated the employment of former associate head coach Kenny Johnson, who had been placed on paid administrative leave after the FBI investigation.

Shocked, completely shocked. I figured he was squeaky clean. Not really.

Yikes. I wondered about KJ. I still hope IU doesn’t somehow get drug into the middle or even the edge of this.

I knew Kenny would end up getting caught. However, this has me worried about IU and Thomas Bryant.

Hope he has some skills other than basketball coaching because he is done in that sport.

Highly doubt it.  Always be some school out there that will take a flyer on him to make some recruiting inroads in the east coast.

I remember when he left IU. Rick Pitino said he asked Richard (already at Minnesota) to recommend an assistant. Richard recommended Kenny, and then Rick hired him off IU's staff. I always thought there was something unseemly about that. A B1G coach recommends that another coach -- in a different conference -- raid a conference competitor's staff. That just reeked of tampering to me. Or if not tampering, something very sleazy.

Arizona is playing with paid players right now and your worried about Bryant? The ncaa will do nothing to anyone.

I was watching ESPN last night after the Seaton Hall RI game and they had a panel of coachs,Williams Behiem and Coach K discussing this topic.
Almost puked listening to Williams smugly talking about how he runs his program the right way while Behiem (spelling) agreed, said the FBI has more important matters to focus on and that the NCAA and AAU had everything under control.
What a joke ESPN is for airing this tripe and expecting anyone to believe it.

They're all in bed together. (ACC, ESPN, NCAA) money makes money and it only benefits each to promote the others.
