OP, where is your proof he knew? I believe it is highly likely, but that hasn't been proven.

PITINO KNEW ABOUT LOUISVILLE BROTHEL
- Thread starter Pritz99
- Start date
You spend 4 hrs a day with players and know one talks about their insane recruiting party with hookers? Plus, now way some assistant is going to ballsy enough to do this without Pitino's saction, plus now way an assistant is going to be able to tap into the loose money for this without Pitino's approval. You can be stupid if you want, but you'd ahve to be dumber than the NCAA to not see Pitino's fingerprints all over this.
No it's being said by the "madam" who pimped her daughters that she contacted the NCAA before deciding to write the book.
The ex Louie assistant that's supposed to be the one that that set it up while a Louie assistant
resigned from his current school stating he couldn't do his job while defending his name.
Even with the ex recruits claiming it happened, might be hard to prove the HC knew and let it go on.

Pitino gives 200000 to some guy and says "Let me get a better chance at a recruit coming here"We all know the temptations an 18 y/o faces. He knew what was happening. D1 sports are disgusting in areas. Just happy Coach Jordan is our coach. If our program was found of something like this, you would bet I wouldn't attend one game.
;Lets not get carried away in a blame game. College basketball can be dirty, but until proof
that the HC knew what was going on, don't convict him before the evidence is there.
Also that madam that pimped her daughters might not be trusted to be telling the whole truth and
her claim of contacting the NCAA about what went on a lie.
The recruits that back up her story I do take into account in believing something went on,
but was it as much as claimed and did Louie's HC know and turn a blind eye or was kept in the dark is the question that needs to be answered before claiming guilt or innocence.

McGee was a graduate assistant for two years and Director of Basketball Operations for two years. He was a University of Louisville salaried employee from 2012-2014.
At this point in time, there's no evidence that Rick Pitino knew this was going on. But that doesn't matter, he's responsible for the actions of his staff. That's what institutional control is all about.
I've read the book, some parts multiple times, and it seems clear to me that someone other than McGee knew. A booster or another assistant coach.
Of course, conspiracy theorists have pointed out that:
The publisher is a HUGE Indiana booster with the law school named after his family.
The co-writer is a Kentucky alum.
The president of ESPN is a UNC alum and he is trying to distract everyone from the UNC academic fraud scandal.

Russ- didn't ESPN OTL prove that there were text messages from McGee's phone to her specifically naming Jaquan Lyle?
If so it will be an easy case to prove against Lville.
Then the questions become:
Did Pitino know?
Where did the $$ come from?
How many other Asst Coaches get tied to it?
I can't see how Pitino survives
ESPN claims that they "independently verified" information including text messages. To my knowledge they didn't mention who this independent person or agency is. So I'm not sure I believe them. I'm more inclined to believe that they're trying to own a story that another company broke.
I don't recall anything in the OTL report that was not in her book. Jaquan Lyle was mentioned in the book but I'd have to go back and check to see if he was mentioned by name in a text from McGee.
In the book the accuser claims that she lost 700 of the text messages due to a virus that she got on her phone.
I believe that you need a court order to get the text information from the wireless provider.
Pitino appears to have the full support of his athletic director, Tom Jurich, who is considered by many to be among the 10 best athletic directors in the country.
I can't imagine his athletic director being that supportive unless they know something the rest of us do not know. Keep in mind most of us learned about this story Oct. 2nd, Louisville has been investigating the situation since August.
Did Pitino know?
Possibly but there is no evidence of that, that I am aware of, yet.
Where did the $$ come from?
That is an important question.
How many other Asst Coaches get tied to it?
My guess is definitely one possibly two. But that is just a guess.
I can't see how Pitino survives
I can. Look at Jim Calhoun. He was suspended three games. He coached one more season then health issues forced him to retire. The school was hit with sanctions.
No, it wasn't hookers but the violations would almost be the same:
Improper recruiting inducements, failure to monitor and promote an atmosphere for compliance by the head coach, failure to monitor by the university, unethical conduct, and some secondary violations.

Ten thousand dollars over four years, two of which he was a salaried employee as Director of Basketball Operations.
He could have been getting the money from someone, even a family member for all we know, he could have run up credit card debt via cash advances.
We just don't know.
Russ, in your opinion, as the head coach, over the course of a four year span. Do you believe THE man in charge aka the head coach should be accountable?
This is serious, as unethical as any situation can get. I mean we coukd be talking about minors here.
Of course Pitno knew , but he will have plausible deniability . One of the reasons the guy is a great college basketball coach
In my opinion, yes. The head coach is ultimately responsible for the actions of his staff.
These men are paid two, three and in some cases four million dollars (plus) to run the basketball program. That salary comes with great responsibilities.
The fact that McGee allegedly came up with this idea and did this for four years without it being noticed, supposedly, by any other basketball staff member speaks volumes to the culture within the Louisville program. At least in my opinion.
Btw, the age of consent in Kentucky is 16. So while many of us consider anyone under 18 a minor, that isn't the case with consensual sex in Kentucky evidently.

Wonder how much cash each recruit got to bone one of the hookers and do coach Pitino a huge favor by helping him get rid of the all that extra cash before some grad assistant committed an NCAA violation with all that green.
