That's what I thought. They might fire him if they think it can save that precious title. I think it fair to say UL's the kind of outfit that's shown they'll thrown anyone in front of the bus.
If you're UL, (no morals) you have to ask, how many more years does Pitino have in him and what are his chances to win a title in those years. I'd say it's less than 10%. Then weigh that against throwing Pitino to the wolves and begging for mercy from the NCAA. Probably a bit better than 10%, but who knows.

There has to be something to this because Matt will interrupt his vacation and do a podcast from Dubrovnic

Well, I've known him for over 40 years and he's a New York Italian who's been close friends with both Pitino and Father Bradley since Rick was at UK. So, I'd say pretty well-connected.


Oh for real?? The Father Bradley??? Ahh dang.

Say no more fam.

Dropping the Porky's reference deserves 2 likes. We need @CatPhight to work on the sign...

(Sarcasm) It's just not right that UK fans and Rupps Rafters would be discussing the potential downfall of CRP today on the anniversary date of 1934 John Dillinger, Notorious American bank robber, shot dead at 31 by federal agents at the Biograph Theater in Chicago. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

So you're guaranteeing that the banners are gone

I'd say it's very highly likely considering UofL has nothing to counter with this appeal. The facts were presented, and the decision was made. UofL didn't argue any findings. They argued hooker pricing. As if the NCAA cares about how much was paid. UofL employees paid hookers to have sex with 16 year old recruits. That's it.

Just a last ditch attempt from UofL. Only difference here will be that the NCAA probably has a separate panel to review the appeal.

So you're saying the banners are staying?

I'm saying it's no guarantee that they're gone. This is the NCAA.

For how many years has this been going around Rafters?
If he was going to be fired for being slimy and moral turpitude it would have happened.
If they fire him to save money and he wins his appeal (much more likely than UL's), they'll have to pay him his total buyout.
Unless there is pictures of him handing the money to McGee, UL will have to pay him mightily to go away. Right now the Foundation cupboard is bare plus there's a new gatekeeper.

Ole Miss firing shows what UL should have done after the Italian appetizer and the Soul Food main course. Basically letting Pitino stay on showed their true colors as far as ethics and morals go.


"Italian appetizer and soul food main course " [roll]

You people need to stop harping on them keeping the banner. It is gone. Period. The NCAA said that x amount of illegal players played in x amount of wins and those wins included the title game..The NCAA said they have to forfeit all of those games. Please comprehend and quit repeating your fears over and over in every thread..Pitino should be fired and if he is it will have no effect on the banner staying or going. Gracious.

This...I'm fairly sure that I read the only way p.rick can be fired for cause on NCAA violations is if it's shown that he knew about the violation. That's why he's been so vehement about maintaining his ignorance, even though that looks like a lack of control in doing so.

You have no clue what will or won't happen, LOL. The NCAA is corrupt garbage. NOTHING is guaranteed as of yet.
