Comments on: What Now For Rick Pitino? http://uoflcardgame.com/what-now-for-rick-pitino/8855?source=rss Louisville Basketball, Louisville Football, Louisville Cardinals Sat, 31 Jul 2010 18:34:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: cbcardhttp://uoflcardgame.com/what-now-for-rick-pitino/8855/comment-page-1#comment-5803 cbcard Thu, 13 Aug 2009 01:29:05 +0000 http://uoflcardgame.com/?p=8855#comment-5803 This will play out on several different levels. When it comes to the recruiting aspect it will have to have a negative effect. Can you picture Rick looking a recruit's mother in the eyes and talking about helping her son to become a man. Got to put a crimp in that approach for a year or two. Or more if other coaches keep using it. As for how it affects his family, that's none of my business.

A serious lapse of morality by an intoxicated public figure with a slut. Pitino was out celebrating. He obviously planned on doing a bunch of it, because he had a designated driver lined up and the restaurant owner left him the keys to lock up. He could have just sat there and drank the night away, but he succumbed to the temptation.This women is no angel. She came back to that restaurant later that evening for one specific reason and she got what she wanted. She's lied to the police, the media and to the public. She has a past of gold-digging and got real ugly when it was made clear to her that Pitino wasn't going to pay up.False claim of rapes, extortion attempts, lying to the police, bringing in people to help perpertrate the con...she's really got it all going on, doesn't she?I by no means condone Pitino's activities...but I'm willing to accept the public apology. When you wallow with the pigs, though...you're gonna get dirty. It's something they both have to live with the rest of their lives. She's got a lot more to reconcile with than Rick, but I doubt she ever does.Do the crime, serve the time...Karen. Let’s just call this thing for what it is.

False claim of rapes, extortion attempts, lying to the police, bringing in people to help perpertrate the con…she’s really got it all going on, doesn’t she?

I by no means condone Pitino’s activities…but I’m willing to accept the public apology. When you wallow with the pigs, though…you’re gonna get dirty. It’s something they both have to live with the rest of their lives. She’s got a lot more to reconcile with than Rick, but I doubt she ever does.

Do the crime, serve the time…Karen.

In some ways perhaps Pitino met his match with Sypher. I really feel bad for everyone involved. Sypher is just as guilty and the attraction between the two was mutual. For her to cry rape - is out of the scope of reason. A very raw side of Coach Pitino has been revealed. Time will tell if that private now public side has any impact on his position with the Cards.

The thing is...Rick really can't say anymore until the legal prosecution of Sypher is concluded becausr he will most likely be called by the prosecution as a witness.The family issue is obvious. Who knows how his wife will respond, if she didn't know already, and there are children and in-laws affected as well.There is a clause in his contract with the University that outlines any actions by him that may cause the university significant embarrasment could be a punishable offense, including firing. Also grounds for termination for lying. I don't think he's lied yet. To judge just how embarrasing this situation is needs to be determined by Jurcih and Ramsey, I suppose. It's not like he got caught on police video staggering around a car or boozing it up with soroity chicks at a campus function. It has made the headline news on AOL, though...as well as thousands of other media venues. Jim Rome led in with it today.Jurich and Ramsey's meeting may have to wait a few weeks. Jurich underwent eye surgery today and will be off work for a couple of weeks. Previously scheduled surgery. He'll miss the football banquet.Just to clarify something I refered to in the original post. According to Pitino's legal counsel, the $3000 given to Ms. Sypher was money for health care...provided when she acknowledged that she did not have health insurance...not specifically for an abotion. I know, legal mumbo-jumbo that each side will twist like a wet dish rag, but...that's their story and they're sticking to it.It is important to remember that Rick Pitino has broken no laws with all of this. Abortion is legal and adultry is not a criminal offense. He cannot be prosecuted for either in a court of law. The moral implications, though... Good points.

I am curious of Dr. RaMsey's meeting with Jurich. He sounded like he was a bit blind sided by Pitino's admission to the police on a few of the particulars. I doubt Pitino did anything illegal, but morally it is bad, and UofL looks bad as well. This could give Ramsey all he needs to say heck with you and let Pitino go. If something like this is going to happen, I think it will be within the week. Pitino needs to make a public appology, he doesn't have to give any particulars, just appologize. Silence here allows for more speculation. I am not going to take the high and mighty stance here other than the fact that the University of Louisville is now involved in this mess.
