Pitino has been a disgrace for some time. The NCAA has been a disgrace forever. "Student Athletes" my behind. I agree with eCurmudgeon, let the NBA and NFL run and pay for their own farm programs as MLB has always done. College athletics are hopelessly corrupt and fueled by dirty money and hypocrisy and nostalgic BS. Colleges and Universities should simply do what they were supposedly intended to do, offer education. Big time athletics has no place in that. It is a cancer. Albeit a lucrative one, obviously. Either that or pay the "Student Athletes" out in the open. But of course that would look worse for all these fine Colleges and Universities. No, we cannot have that. What an unholy mess.
