I knew something big had to be happening when I got on Twitter earlier and saw Seth Davis talking about something OTHER than politics.

Heard the lead FBI guy on the radio this afternoon....Auburn was mentioned more than once. Bet Ole Pearl is really sweating through his suits right now. Got a feeling this is just the surface. College BB is one of the most corrupt things on the face of the earth.

Ya think?  Other than AZ, the schools implicated today are hardly bluebloods.  But I'm sure UK, UNC, Duke, etc. are as pure as the wind-driven snow.

Only thing more corrupt might be college football. 

Or if not, it's a small step down.

How does this a-hole survive?

These allegations come as a complete shock to me," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said in a statement. "If true, I agree with the U.S. Attorneys Office that these third-party schemes, initiated by a few bad actors, operated to commit a fraud on the impacted universities and their basketball programs, including the University of Louisville. Our fans and supporters deserve better and I am committed to taking whatever steps are needed to ensure those responsible are held accountable."

He has banged a waitress in a restaurant bathroom in spite of being married, been extorted, filed charges against said waitress

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=5416259

Claimed to have no knowledge of prostitutes being used to entice players

https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/10/21/ncaa-alleges-louisville-violated-rules-prostitution-scandal-charges-head-coach

And now he has no knowlege of this either.  Yeah.  Riiigggghhhhht.   

WTF is up with Louisville?  Petrino in football and the above d-bag in basketball?  Wow!  What's next?  Mike Tyson as AD?

The important thing to remember here is that Pitino didn't break bad until he got to Louisville.  At all his other jobs (especially UK), he was a pillar of integrity; a molder of men.  Just like Calipari.

No way Pitino survives this.  Jurich will be out, too.

I'm just glad TN is safe.  I mean, Barnes has to be clean.  Can't cheat if you don't recruit.

Several national media types reporting that Pitino is expected to be fired today, and one has said that Pitino has told those close to him he expects to be gone. 

And the fallout has reached Auburn, as they lose 5 star commitment EJ Montgomery:

Wow! What an end. I will never believe this isn't going on at UK as well. They don't seem to be in the crosshairs. Yet.

Pitino and Jurich are gone, two more assistant coaches will be gone within a few days.  They are technically on admin leave due to HR and contractual issue, but they are definitely gone.

The stampede you will see is not elephants, it is agents, coaches, and shoe company officials looking for get out of jail free cards for turning.  It took the FBI to do what the NCAA never would/never could.  All big name schools are currently filling their hats with bodily excretions.

This is going to expand in to football, too.  Probably need to be careful about wallering in glee until we see where it goes from here.

I realize that, and I'm fine with UT taking a hit as long as some others do too (and I think we all know who I'm talking about).  We don't have as far to fall as they do, and college sports needs a complete reboot anyway.

Agree with this......This is something that should have been done years ago....Need to burn down what needs to be burned down. I am quite certain there are several universities....athletic departments....and coaching staffs across the country sweating bullets today and looking over their shoulders....More will come of this I'm sure it's just the surface right now. But....if nothing else athletic departments across the land now know that Big Brother is watching.
