Should Kentucky Schedule a Game Against Rick Pitino and Iona?

This might not be the first time you’ve heard this idea spoken into existence, and it certainly won’t be the last.

Now that Rick Pitino is the new head coach of the Iona Gaels out of New York, a Divison I school who play in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC), what is stopping Kentucky and head coach John Calipari from scheduling the former Louisville coach to a future matchup?

Dick Vitale – in his infinite, waning wisdom – has already pitched the idea to the two head coaches, arguing they should participate in the “Jimmy V Classic” up in Madison Square Garden, which is actually a pretty awesome idea for both sides.
