This whole Rick Pitino fiasco is quite funny to me. To many of these high profile Division One coaches, they feel as if they are untouchable. It just doesn't make sense to me how you could do that to your wife and family. Don't think that this is the first time Pitino has had an affair. I'm sure it has happened before but maybe the payout he gave before was substantial enough not to bring anything out to the police or the media. To hear the whole story, it's quite hysterical if you ask me. You get a whole restaurant shut down, have sex in the bathroom with this woman, while her future husband (Pitino's best friend) hears something going on in there. My guess is that she isn't exactly marriage material after that situation, but that's just me.
Pitinorecently come out guns blazin' in a press conference. As history has shown with sports figures, press conferences/interviews/etc. aren't usually a good idea to tell someone you are innocent of whatever you are being scrutinized for. Pitino did admit to committing adultery and paying $3,000 to cover health costs but when you deny and deny that you essentially did nothing else wrong then something is up. It has happened with Barry Bonds, A-Rod, and Roger Clemens. If you just come out and admit what you did it will be forgotten. That has happened with Jason Giambi, Andy Pettite, and Luis Castillo (San Diego Chargers DT, who admitted steriod use before NFL Draft). Personally, I don't think what Pitino did with his press conference was the right thing to do. He should've just sat back and hoped that his family and friends would take him back. The more you make a scene, the more the public feels you are guilty.
Classes begin on the 9th and I can't wait to things started. Our freshmen should be coming in on the 6th for Orientation. Should be an exciting year for the Pipers.
