The University of Louisville Cardinals men’s basketball program and Rick Pitino haven’t had the best week. As a two seed in the NCAA tournament, they were knocked off by the Michigan Wolverines on Sunday.
Time to lick wounds has barely passed and now the NCAA has released a response to the UofL assertions that not only did Rick Pitino not know that former head of basketball operations Andre McGee was running a prostitution ring for players and recruits, but also that his monitoring of the program was exemplary.
I guess statements by Pitino that he knows when a chair breaks in Minardi Hall, the dorm where the prostitution and stripper parties took place, didn’t jive with the fact that cameras would mysteriously stop working and security guards were complicit in the activities.
