Yeah, you can only use the "I'm shocked at these allegations" line so much.

Petino won't go gracefully and the school will have to make sure they aren't going to pay him his $45 million buyout, so I doubt petino is out today.

Only thing Louisville has to be concerned about is legal ramifications, that could delay any announcement.

10 days notice required before they can fire him.

interesting article LINK

There is a real possibility that Rick Pitino and Tom Jurich will both step aside on Wednesday or by the end of the week. Jurich has been at odds with interim President Greg Postel since his appointment last winter after Dr. Neville Pinto bolted for squeaky clean Cincinnati. In July, Dr. Postel presented Mr. Jurich with a list of tasks. Point #1 was to fire Rick Pitino over the stripper scandal that led to a program beatdown from the NCAA. Jurich refused Postel’s directive. Meeting at Vincenzo’s restaurant just prior to Postel’s announcement that the school had reached a new lease agreement with the KFC Yum Center, Jurich was stiff armed from participating in the negotiation. Postel had tightened his grip on a seemingly autonomous athletics program.
quote:
Many of the schools affected today are first timers to the scandal walk of shame. UofL’s prior dumpster fire of misbehavior is turning into a potential nuclear blast. Rick Pitino’s attorney Steve Pence promises that UofL “won’t fire Pitino without a bare knuckle fight.” Pence predicts that Pitino would prevail in a legal struggle over his reported $44 million buyout.
quote:
If Jurich goes, a mass exodus of Cardinals coaches could start sending out resumes. Tonight, two other high value UofL head coaches tell me that they have not been contacted by the Postel people to test their interest in staying on board if they suddenly get a new boss. That’s the only ray of light I can find at this hour.

It is amazing that Pitino has lasted this long.

Worst performance in school history.

Apparently Jurich's meeting with the interim president only lasted around 5 minutes.
Yeah, he is probably gone.

How do you get a $44MM buyout in CBB??
Posted on 9/27/17 at 9:30 am to slackster
How can you receive that buyout with the nonstop wrongdoings?

If I know Pitino, he won't even last that long.

The Courier roasted the Athletic Department today. I do not know how much that paper has pull with the public though.

I'm sure it's void if fired for just cause.

The Courier is saying this is an extra case. At one time they defend but see why. I do not think they will get death penalty. They may get the Baylor treatment, only play limited games and 0 scholarships, which was self imposed. The probation was in 2012 from the phone calls/texts.

44 million for a sleaze ball...and in college basketball. That’s insane.
