Louisville loved pitino but felt like they had to abort. They has no choice, almost as if they were being extorted.

I know a lot of folks that went to IUPUI, including my best friend. It was/is a good school. Mostly a commuter school, but the combined IU & Purdue programs gave it a huge offering of courses and majors for a commuter school.
IU and Purdue had several joint schools around the state - IUPUI, IUPFW, and others. They all split over the last few years, mostly with one or the other school taking over - for example, IUPFW is now Purdue Fort Wayne. IUPUI was the only one where both schools are keeping part of the campus, so it's split has been the most complicated.
Shows ya what I know.
at Louisville trying to rekindle Pitino vibes by whatever means possible.And they still wound up with a vacated championship. It's really odd to look back at all the recruiting violations in light of how the NCAA eventually lost it's fight to keep players from any kind of compensation outside of attendance. Those were violations to be sure (with hookers no less), but somehow it doesn't seem the same after the lawsuits finally turned the tide in favor of players being able to earn outside compensation.
With all the vacancies, makes me think he's not going to stay long...

Rex Chapman has a new book out. Says he took a pay cut to leave UK to go pro
"Well, first, I was making money in college. They were giving — I was being paid in college under the table, so I had some money. That's part of how I got to UK, so yeah. As much as I needed. Yeah, as much as I ever needed I could go — I knew where to go to get it. Many times it was just given to me, but. Yeah, boosters — boosters, yeah. And before I left — before I left I was offered $700,000 to stay another year at Kentucky. This is in the '80s. Right, in the '80s," Chapman said.

Rex Chapman shared he was making more money in college than the NBA at one point: "I took a pay cut to leave school"
Chapman admitted during the interview that he was making more money with the Wildcats than in his inaugural NBA season."Well, first, I was making money in college.

"I don't have a very large contract with Iona. I think it can be put on one page," said Pitino, who also told WFAN he drew interest from Holy Cross. "But I can tell you right now; the only school that can afford me with my buyout is Fort Knox University. I don't think with the type of buyout that I have -- and I'm even too embarrassed to tell you the number it's so scary -- Iona is definitely my last stop. I almost laugh at the buyout it's so comical.
"I'm at my best developing young athletes. That's where I belong. I'm super excited about being at Iona. It will be my last stop, and I hope we make it a glorious run."

They're mostly commuter but they're also part of the MSEP, which gives Midwest students cheaper tuition out of state. I've had a few kids make it out of rough situations thanks to that, so I have a soft spot for the school and was bummed to hear about the split.

Does Brad not talk to recruits?
lol. He’s a lot more active recruiting than he used to be.
Yeah, UIndy is the D-II school in Indianapolis. They're in the same conference (GLVC) as U of I Springfield, Quincy University, and Lewis University.
They heard someone named R. Pitino was available and figured they'd give him a shot.
I just like saying euuuuuuuwie peuuuuuuuwie
