Wonder how Petrino will react once Pitino gets canned and the Basketball team goes away.

Might be jubilation for not winning the scumbag war of "who is the worst person at Louisville."

Louisville might get the death penalty over this due to their recent escort scandal, not sure if other teams will get as big of discipline as Pitino tho. Couldn't happen to a more upstanding citizen.

I'm not sure that football will get too wrapped up in this since there is so much endorsement and clothing deals in basketball that football doesn't get. This is probably so widespread in basketball virtually every team could get exposed for some level of misconduct.

FSU about to go from Orange Bowl winners to not even bowl eligible this season, Wake Forest game is a must win when they still have Louisville, Miami, Clemson and Florida on the schedule.

You're probably right. But it's looking like they might have brokered a deal to get a 5 star commit that "just fell into their lap" and somehow the kid got paid 100k. I'd wager Louisville is about as dirty as they come and they were talking like the death penalty being a realistic possibility.

I dont know about death penalty, but Louisville had just been placed on probation prior to this $100k incident occurring and Petino had been suspended for 5 games. So this is repeat offender territory. Auburn knows a lot about that.

This.

The reason they'd be more likely to get the Death Penalty isn't necessarily the violations, but that they occurred while already on probation for other violations.

The amount of time needed to rebuild a basketball program is much less than football, considering all the one and done players. One year of no competition.

I think they'll be fine. Blackman seems to be picking up the offense relatively quickly and their D is still solid.

I expect they'll win two of Louisville, Miami, Clemson and Florida and sad to say Florida is probably tied with Miami on the list of the two most likely, though at least we get them at home.

Meanwhile, Louisville has conceded 113 points in 4 games and FSU gets them and Miami at home.

Duke, BC, Syracuse, Delaware State are all winnable and I haven't followed Wake this year but I see they beat App State by 1 point, lol.

I thought Pitino was fired after that escort scandal. I guess not

Suspended.

Although apparently on the Dan Patrick show, they said that Pitino has been telling those in the program that he will be fired as a result of this latest thing.

Edit: And Deadspin says it has happened. And Jurich is gone, too.

And ESPN http://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...oach-rick-pitino-tells-staff-expects-lose-job

Louisville head basketball coach Rick Pitino has told members of his coaching staff that he expects to lose his job over allegations that the Cardinals basketball program is involved in a federal investigation into fraud and corruption in college basketball recruiting.

A source told ESPN's Michael Eaves that Pitino "knows it's coming" after a staff meeting of the basketball coaches Wednesday morning in Louisville.

Pitino and Tom Jurich, Louisville's athletic director, met with Louisville's interim president Greg Postel, according to ESPN's Jeff Goodman and reports.

The school will hold a news conference at 1 p.m. ET, Postel said. Pitino and Jurich will not attend.

Supposedly Pitino can't be fired without a 10 day notice hence the confusion.

He's basically on leave until they can shit can him.

I wonder how far we'll go with this investigation. It's a known fact that bag-men and bribery are part of College Football. When's the shoe going to drop?

I can't imagine there's a team in the top 25 that doesn't engage in this stuff.

Look no further than the 7-on-7 teams that populate the south, and that are sponsored by shoe companies.

It's coming for everything in big time college athletics. The FBI has powers to make people comply and lying to them is a felony. People who could just not talk to the NCAA have to, and they are going to flip.

Gonna blow up a lot of programs

7 on 7 coaches don't nearly have the power as AAU coaches do.

Don't get me wrong, it might end up getting there, but CB is a league of own in how dirty it was.

yes, basketball is far dirtier...

but this exact same shit is happening in football too.


football has a bit of a different angle, in there's the boosters / money men behind the scenes that have been doing it much longer, but the rise of 7-on-7 is basically just shadowing AAU in many ways.

it's already happening. it has been happening, and now the FBI is gonna find it

College football is dirty as hell, but it isn't as dirty as college basketball is. It can't be.

The kids are absolutely getting paid under the table by bagmen, but it's a much lower proportion of em. The NBA's draft eligibility rules makes corruption like this easier in the collegiate ranks.

This whole thing sucks because every time it comes out that someone new is involved, you're just thinking, "I hope it's not my school"

The NCAA has been giving out slaps on the wrist at most the past decade. They're certainly not handing out the death penalty to anyone.

I hope Penn State is somehow complicit in all of this. And Baylor of course. Maybe Penn States ark is like OJ Simpson.....Get away with murder/rape but go to jail later on for an unrelated less severe event.

If you're a fan of a mid level power 5 school that didn't do anything your probably throwing a party.

It could be a boon to some schools to have shit cleaned up.
