Here is the Maryland criminal law on adultery: (I am serious) § 10-501. Adultery Prohibited (a) A person may not commit adultery. Penalty (b) A person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction shall be fined $10. Rarely prosecuted, if ever.

Any truth to the news reports that the "lady" was trying to extort $10 million from Pittino? Sex, Lies, and I would guess, no videotape this time. Rape accusations? How much more ugly can this get? Definitely a fatal attraction.
Pittino has in his favor that this is Louisville and not New York with the NFL season upon us and few things are bigger than the NFL.

Must be an old law.

Where is the poll choice for "I don't care".

Glenn, I'm not so sure. Is your boss the CEO? Do you work for a public company? Not really an affair here. If a CEO of a public company had sex in a restaurant while drunk, then paid for an abortion, he may very well get fired. I'm also not sure I would want Pittino coming in my home to recruit my 17 year old son. (whom will have great influence the next 4 years, if not a lifetime.) Exhibiting such poor judgment when in your 50's shows complete lack of discipline and wisdom. Getting drunk, having sex in a restaurant, then paying for an abortion is not what I want the face of my university or company to be. When you are the face of an University or business, there are expectations that must be met in my opinion. |

Exactly! It also appears that there are more allegations coming forth, which, I realize, may be completely unfounded. I don't believe that Rick Pitino will coach another game for Louisville. |

It takes time for the news to travel across the great pond.  |

If he doesn't win 25 games this year, he should be fired for being an adulterer who advocates abortion. If he makes the Final Four, he should be hailed as a go getter who can't help but partake in a dalliance here and there, it's what winners do. He was an innocent victim of a shrewish opportunist.

Pitino embarrassed and humiliated himself, his family, his Church, and the University of Louisville. Still, getting drunk, and committing adultery in a restaurant must be okay with the University of Louisville, or they would have fired him, or in the very least, fined him and/or suspended him.
But, Pitino is a winner, and he'll win this one, because everyone closely associated with Pitino wants that money stream to continue. I really think most Colleges/Universities, would have had some stronger form of censure than disappointment, and they would be correct!

Nothing like the moral police.  It isn't any of your business which skank he hoses or where........ Don't like it, don't support the program or send your kids to school there, but suggesting someone gets fired for banging a skank is just foolish IMO.

Yes, Kentucky has a pair!
However, Cal did more good things at Memphis than he's getting credit for. Fund raising, appearances, improved graduation rates, gifts; more than I can think of at present. STILL, I'm upset he left! I've got Season Tickets!
Gigond Ass
I'm not suggesting he get fired, I'm saying I would have a different response than Louisville's, I'm disappointed!
Pitino has a "Morals Clause" in his contract, and which contract pays him more than 3 million per year. As a highly visible representative of the University of Louisville, Pitino is well compensated and has a contractual responsibility to maintain a moral conduct in such a manner that would not embarrass the university, and Louisville definitely should care "which skank he hoses and where" .

You're decrying morals in the state of Kentucky? Isn't inter-family marriage still practiced there?

I'm not sure, I'm living in Tennessee! Anyway, outstanding Bourbon is made in Kentucky, and perhaps it can even make a New Yorker, like Pitino, do something he wouldn't ordinarily do, and do it in a public place. In the future when dining out, Pitino should be careful when asked what he wants for dessert! |
