Rick Pitino suing Louisville

[Canadian Dukie]

Rick Pitino is suing the University of Louisville for $38 million dollars for breach of contract and "unfair firing"

Lol.

Man! He just won’t hang it up and go away already. Really making himself look worse than he already is!

I actually think he has a point here. Yes, he broke rules like crazy, but I think the University wanted him to do things that way. I think he was just doing his job, winning games, albeit dirty as heck. I'm sure his bosses knew his tactics were questionable. They only fired him when he got exposed.

The crazy thing is, if he wasn't mentioned in the files and they really have no proof he had his hands in it. I expect this to be settled out of court.

Given his history especially after the stripper ordeal, one would think they did it out of necessity rather then proof.

Poor poor Rick, he didn't deserve any of this, oh poor little ricky, that mean school should pay you 36 million for being mean and firing you innocent little rick.

What a joke. Just go away man.

Didn't the FBI say they had proof that 90% of the money went to him? And that they had him on recorded phone calls making deals?

No only the assistant. He's actually suing the university and when he was put on leave he opened a law suit against the management company for decimation of character.

Ok...I could have sworn I heard they had proof that 90% of the money went directly to Pitino.

That wouldn’t have anything to do with it.

Sampson won his suit against IU.

No that was one of the assistants and I think it was the Arizona one.

I know what you're referring to. A lot of the money from the school's deal with Adidas went to him.

Oh ok....I took it wrong I guess
