February 6, 201610 yr Even if he didn't know about it he should have. He had Minardi Hall built so he could better control his program. This is the second major scandal under his watch. Time to cut ties. Coaches and players (and AD's) should not be the sacrificial lambs for the deeds of the corrupt. It’s so wrong.
February 6, 201610 yr Doug Gotlieb basically said the same thing Dakich tweeted when interview during the UK game. Said he didn't feel sorry for players that transfered and left thier old school behind. Considering the source, that's hilarious...
February 6, 201610 yr I agree, the only way the AD gets drug down is if the NCAA finds a culture of non-compliance across the athletic department. I don't think you are wrong in this case, but how idiotic is it to not hold your AD accountable for what goes on inside the athletics departments? Yet Ramsey's job (as much as I dislike him as well) is on the line at the moment. The whole idealism of that makes no sense to me.

February 6, 201610 yr So fire Pitino and the school President and let Jurich keep his job? That makes a ton of sense. It sounds like being an A.D. at a high level school may be one of the best jobs in the country. If YOUR athletics programs ever get in trouble you can just push the blame off on everyone else. If the A.D has no responsibility for what is going on inside the schools programs, what exactly is their job? If you expect the AD to be responsible for every thing that goes on in the Deparment, what's the need in having coaching staffs? I'm not one of those calling for Ramsey to go. I don't think Pitino knew what was going on, and I'm already on record saying that I don't believe it matters whether or not he knew. It happened on his watch, he's responsible. If that spells the end for Pitino, so be it.

You want to axe him for ONE situation that has yet to fully play out?
February 7, 201610 yr Coaches and players (and AD's) should not be the sacrificial lambs for the deeds of the corrupt. It’s so wrong. I agree about the players.
February 7, 201610 yr This is one instance that has gone on under Jurich. You want to axe him for ONE situation that has yet to fully play out? Yes. It's his job, he should be accountable like anyone else.
February 7, 201610 yr Yes. It's his job, he should be accountable like anyone else. So then you would have every AD fired that was at a school that had even a single allegation or incident during their tenure, correct?

If that spells the end for Pitino, so be it. To oversee the coaches and make sure they are in compliance with the rules. I thought that was a big part of an AD's job. Guess I have it all wrong. I'm with you on Pitino, the more I have thought about it, I don't think he knew what was going on. But in the grand scheme of things, like you said it's his job to know what's going on. The crazy thing, is that is also the AD's job, yet he gets a pass.

February 7, 201610 yr So then you would have every AD fired that was at a school that had even a single allegation or incident during their tenure, correct? Personally I think that would be a good start. Otherwise the players that had no part of the violations are the only ones that suffer.
February 7, 201610 yr So if Pitino doesn't return, how has the AD not done his job in this instance? If Pitino does not return, it will be on his own terms, otherwise he would already be gone.
February 7, 201610 yr If Pitino does not return, it will be on his own terms, otherwise he would already be gone. Not really, but okay. You'd fire him before the NCAA has finished conducting their investigation?
February 7, 201610 yr So if Pitino doesn't return, how has the AD not done his job in this instance? Not taking any responsibility himself? like I said it is HIS athletic department.
