Pitino firing is now official...

Wow.

OK, so the FBI popped them with the 5 star freshman getting $100K to go to Louisville. where did the $100K come from? Addidas? shouldn't he be ineligible or no?

He is on campus but ineligible to play or participate in team activities last I recall hearing/reading.

I feel sorry for the high school athletes. I know I'm gonna get grilled on that but if someone offered my poor high school ass $100K I'd have a hard time turning it down.

I just hope this FBI anal probe going on can put a stop to this bullshit. at least gives other schools like us a snowball's chance in hell to compete.

so did the $100K come from Addidas? anyone know?

If somebody had offers me a full scholarship I would have been in heaven. As it was it took a while to pay off that debt.

You damn right I would've taken it.... 100K? Hell, I'd take it now. Someone offer me 100k, and lets test it out.

All he needs to do is become a made man in New Jersy
