Pics of the daughters and other ladies are required. Strictly for investigative purposes.

Looks a little manly?

Actually, this is a stain on the old Big East.

Which distinguishes it from the A10, which was a stain under the old Big East.

Speaking of the A10, the first thing I thought of on hearing this scandal was our old friends from UMess. Has there been a good college basketball hooker scandal since Marcus Camby?

What? They heard about this from an IU booster? Completely bizarre.
Shocking, so we're actually expected to believe UK is not intimately involved? Given Calimari's hooker ring at umess, that's simply not believable!

This scandal is hilarious, better than fiction. You would never be able to make up something like this.

Geez, this made it all the way to a published book before anyone found out.

Also, is Pitino really acting as if he had no idea?

Of course he is, it's in chapter 3 of the "Roy Williams Coaching Handbook".

Bought my copy. If this is true louisville is she's talking about popping pills and smoking weed with the players. She says that she arraigned a deal to have sex with Blakeneys dad in exchange for a commitment. Also Rodney Purvis is mentioned as one of the recruits....

When are people gonna learn. Once you cross that line with hookers , strippers , etc. , you have to pay them forever. As soon as they go broke, have money problems or feel slighted this is the outcome every time. She probably asked Pitino or someone for some cash , help on her light bills, a job , or credit for her recruitment skills and they ignored her. It's just another case of poor "skeleton in the closet" management. If they went directly to a licensed, certified pimp this would've never happened because pimps got a code of ethics.

If this stuff goes on at all the schools as some have indicated, maybe not paid, it can't be a major deciding factor.

Otherwise, having lived there for 6 years, U of Hawaii would be a perennial contender. Well, then again there is that Chaminade over Virginia thing........

Now we know why Bird, McHale and Parrish weren't walking through the door anytime soon. They were busy elsewhere.

Same old story.

CARDINALS deny sex allegations
Maybe it's the old Bill Clinton argument, "I did not have 'SEX' with that woman." In his mind, bj wasn't 'sex'. Interesting logic.

This is non-news really.

I used to travel with my older brother on recruiting trips (he senior, me junior) and man was that fun! The ladies knew he was on campus and the parties were the best part. I had no restrictions so I had more fun than him.

Saturday nights are free time and coaches are home sleeping. Quite honestly its stupid to pay for strippers or pros.

It may not be a formal thing (university wise) but the players know how to welcome a recruit and show him a good time. ;)

Kitaman - I agree there is nothing especially shocking here other than they had to pay the girls. I do however enjoy the bad publicity for Pitino. I remember his last Gampel game when some fans and quite frankly me were yelling some trash at Pitino about being a sleeze ball and a woman fan nearby got offended at the comments. Normally I might agree with her but in this case I loved it!

We'll, it's not. If you say you had sex with a girl, that means one thing and one thing only.

Exactly! What do the people of Louisville think the phrase "keep my pimp hand strong" means?

Blows my mind that recruits still cite (maybe untruthfully) academics when picking ACC or bgx schools over us. What a bunch of .

Could McGee get jail time? He was their director of basketball operations, he was supplying high school kids and their parents with hookers and alcohol on the school campus... this is illegal on so many levels and fairly recent.
