When will Pitino be fired?

11:30AM today.

I voted he won't get fired. He's survived so many fire able offenses at this point I will believe it when I see it.

Contract extension

1 pm today which is not an option thanks Nigel.

I suspect he'll "step down" to spend more time with his family..

Rick Pitino just arrived at Grawemeyer Hall


Grawemeyer Hall is home of the office of the president.

SUV that dropped off Pitino still idling in circle outside Grawemeyer, which indicates this meeting may be brief as well.

Please don't speculate.

I'm the only one who voted before 1PM and took the under. #SwillCred

Floyd I'm just trying to give Nigel shit about a missing time period of 1 minute in his poll work with me here

Anyone who wants to pick 1:00:00 pm can send me a PM. Do it before 1:00:00 though.

I know, Trav, but me being right about this is more important to me. I don't have too many of these moments.

The tree already fell in the forest, Nigel.  Sorry you didn't hear it.

I'm not crapping my pants until he's officially fired.

Me neither. Teflon Rick stuck his dick in a lady at a bar next season he took his team real far.

The hope to name an interim HC in next 48 hours. Tom Crean is the obvious choice here. Never a whiff of impropriety.

Rick Pitino placed on unpaid administrative leave, Tom Jurich on paid administrative leave. 1 player (Bowen) withheld from NCAA activities.

Sorry Floyd.

I believe it now. Well there goes the Pitino era in college hoops. He was one filthy mother fucker.

Looking at the bigger picture, I still can't help but wonder how many titles Izzo mightve had a much better and fairer shot at had some of these blue bloods not cheated in order to add the missing piece to their championship puzzle.

We'd at least have had Jabari Parker and Josh Jackson.

I don't buy Jabari's recruitment was dirty.

I think K is slimy but smart about it. Smarter than Pitino

Agreed. Never got that impression.

I think it's important we take a moment to recognize how wrong Floyd was in this thread.

Didn't Jabari's brother get something out of it? I thought Dukes MO was to hire family members into private businesses and give them cushy jobs. I thought it was easier to hide the money that way.

I am basing this solely on anecdotal evidence which you always know is rock solid but I've heard things. When combined with Jabari's statement that he recommends all Chicago top recruits go to MSU I can't help but get the after-the-fact feeling that his recruitment wasn't entirely on the up-and-up.

This jives with what I've heard.

You may be right about that, but this is the first time I've heard it. Jobs for family members and coaches is def a favorite thing to do with some schools. Look no further than that school just to the south of us. I still can't believe the NCAA allows that.
