I don't know if I agree or not.
Bottom Line, Pitino should have knows what his subordinates were doing, and the fact that he "washed" his hands of it, I believe lead to the smackdown.
If the sanctions hold, they will lose over 100 games and 18 NCAA tourney games, meaning their 2013 NCAA title will be stripped.
Serious business folks......SERIOUS.

A compelling question......
If Pitino was not involved enough to know WHAT was going on with strippers and prostitutes, how was he "involved" enough to suspend players for curfew violations, etc, etc, etc.
I'm sorry, but I believe Slick Rick knew about it all, every single bit of it.
He might of said "I don't want to know about it", or might have said "you take care of it", or whatever............bottom line, his reputation has been tarnished as a FANTASTIC basketball coach by his personal off the court antics, and now his teams off the court antics........
SAD, if you ask me.
