Rick Pitino ft. Future - Feds Did A Sweep
Emmanuel James 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Emmanuel James Hahaha.
Emmanuel James 😭💀💀💀

This one of the best comments i've seen on youtube in a while... Good shit king
For some reason, Rick Pitino has always reminded me of Michael Douglas's role as Gordon Gekko from the movie Wall Street.
hey, Oliver Stone said he modeled Gekko's look on Pat Riley and I aint making that up. Pitino was in the Riley mold for sure. Both coached for The Knicks and riley suggested that UK hire Pitino. Riley played there in college
"YOU'RE EITHER IN OR OUT !!!!GORDON GEKKO
Pitino would've been great in the Godfather flim
he is pacino to Cailpari's De niro.. Jim Rome had both of them on his show for a tv interview, and he said" I feel like I am in the Movie *Heat* "
"It ain't a damn mongoose" y'all can't tell me you didn't chuckle a little 😂
Read my damn mind lmao
I didn't chuckle even a little
Dawson Cheney I'm sorry 😔
REST IN PEACE
UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE BASKETBALL
1911-2017
TheLastOfTheFinest80 im a die hard Louisville fan :(
Well be ok....theyre all getting caught. Just caught players getting paid by an NBA agent from Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, Michigan State, Kansas, Arizona, USC, Texas, etc 20 teams in total. plus the original teams of Louisville, OK St, Miami
Yeaaaaa how's that going? Top 15 right now, top 5 class next season and most of this team coming back. Elite program doing what elite programs do. This isn't Indiana or UCLA though... Can't forget that bitch Romeo Langford was supposed to be on this team too till he bailed out for Indiana because he wanted to play in the NCAA tournament...seriously LOL.
They’ll be back
psyche
It's SO EASY to fix this; Pay the players. Hold their money in a trust until they graduate, money gains interest so they can pay them that much less, and it keeps the schools "academic" integrity in tact. There's no way around this. You have young athletes sacrificing their bodies to for these institutions to make BILLIONS, and they can't get a check?! Of course someone else has been pocketing that money.
ARXV Photo facts 🗣🗣‼️
ARXV Photo paying the players create more problems. You can't pay them all the same amount. Plus, you have to pay tax on that money. Plus, you get a free 20k-30k education, isn't that enough?
Kevin Jones is the free education enough? Hell No! They cant eat books and knowledge during the time in college.
There are many young athletes who dont know any better because they are too young and ignorant and end up picking stupid majors or majors that dont lead to jobs because they need the classes to be easy due to the fact that they spend so much time practicing their sport.
Pay them. Pay minimum wage at least. You dont have to pay them a shitload of cash. Ncaa makes too much money to claim integrity bull.
I disagree
20-30k?!! NO way! That's not enough. And it's actually closer to 60-70k when it's all said and done, which still isn't enough. You have to consider how much these people are making on the backs of the athletes, who often times are permanently injured in the process. You don't have to pay them the same amount, there can be caps, but they need to get paid for their work.
Rick Pitino be Lookin like a Mob Boss, he gonna put a hit on the NCAA
Looks or acts?
“If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it ain’t a damn mongoose” 😂😂😂😂
God forbid the players and their families get some money while billions are being made off of them..
rwoods3000 NCAA goons don't play when it comes to their paper.
rwoods3000 it’s such bullshit , idek how it’s legal at this point
rwoods3000 you spoke the truth!
80 years!? Holy shit!!
This shit makes me respect Lavar even more. You damn well know he ain't accepting any money from adiddas for nothing.
Star Wizzy I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree
Facts
Wow. Your right. At first I just thought because he was greedy (which is probably the number 1 reason)
fax
Star Wizzy Lavar is dam a clown. but he is right on the NCAA bullshit that college players cant make some cash off their name while playing in college.
First step to Lamelo being able to wear his shoes in college
Lil Dagga lol I thought I was the only one whose mind travelled that far.
Star Wizzy I stay tryna look into the future hell college games might be able to come back if they just pay these kids and stop tryna pocket it
Lil Dagga fuck NCAA just go overseas for 1mil a year then get drafted.
Kevin Ware is still my favorite player. Comeback player of the year
ricardo pozos-guzman Still remember that gruesome injury he suffered...CBS cut it off after one showing of that and I could hardly blame them. Wonder what he's up to now...
This validates Lavar even more lol
*_"I TOLD YA'LL!!"_*
"It ain't a dam mongoose" 💀💀
strong and accurate take stephen a ... kudos
Still a better love story than Twilight
*_SKIEEEEUUUPP!!!_*
Pitino, so highly respected, squeaky clean, this is such a shock.
This goes on EVERYWHERE there are the best top high level recruits, and yes that means Duke too
damn 80 years
Damn that's a shame and I like and respected Rick Pinto awesome college coach that's crazy
Rick saying Warriors blew a 3-1 lead at 1:18
Rick Pitino looks like a very honest man that I could with my child's educational future in the company of vultures!!
If you can somehow pause the video at 5:12 Molly looks like the Pepe 😂
Notice the keyword is "out" & not "fired"
Pitino's contract states that he must be given 10-days written notice before being officially fired. And, within those 10 days, he's allowed to present his case/appeal to the decision. It's just legal mumbo jumbo.
Damn there goes my dream coach to be coached by him
Bet Bob Knight is loving this.
Hurricane Katina (you heard it here first) Finally makes landfall Louisville devastated
YESSSSS!
Peter Paul I'm excited Pitino is gone!
Rick Pimptino
Lmaoo watch our last vid on him
Ig he's the only coach in the NCAA, it's because he has a big name. Even HS/Prep School/AAU coaches do this. It was something personal that made someone leak this out because practically every successful highly paid coach in the NCAA D1 bracket does this in every major division. He's one of many, he just do happens to be a famous popular Coach with a successful winning program
Damn! I'm glad coach Cal wasn't involved in this shit.
+Peter Paul You're going to hell for fuckin up this post.
+knightofdreamz LMFAO! Probably true. I'm sure his whole coaching staff spent yesterday burning the paper trail.
Kali West are u sure? on going investigation. this is just th3 beginning
+nicholas Akubariki Trust, coach Cal has burned the paper trail and killed whoever had to die already. LOL!
I don't know about that. Cal has done some shady shit. He knew Rose faked his SATs.
I wonder if they'll make a movie out of Rick Pitino some time in the future 🤔
“This is baddddd man! This is BADDDDDDDD!!!” - Steven A.
NCAA logic:
"No they're amateur athletes.
Well why are they amateur athletes?
Because we don't pay them.
Well why don't you pay them?
Because they're amateur athletes."
This ridiculous circular logic that's been reinforcing itself for decades has to stop. And if it doesn't stop then these obvious incentivized scandals will continue until someone has the balls to give these athletes the money that they've earned!
“Everything Smells.” - Stephen A Smith
Like SAS, Max and Molly who stink to high heaven and all need to go work for CNN and bring in people who will talk about SPORTS
Pay the players and this wouldn't be a problem. Greed catches you eventually.
You're an idiot. Players already get plenty of in-kind money and benefits. It is greedy of them to want more as amateurs.
Louisville seems like the movie Blue Chips
ARXV Photo you can't just pay the men's college basketball players or the football players because of Title IX it's a federal law if you pay the men's teams you have to pay the women's teams also.
Pitino has been telling us who he is for a while now. Some just chose not to listen.
Crazy thing is Pitino didn’t have to do this. He’s won off of 2 star recruits
EVERYTHING SMELLS 😂
Molly swallows every last drop
Rick Patino is the James Woods of college basketball...hey Molly ;)
I can't believe it took so long. This dude had a different scandal every other year.
Hemanth Swarna right
In an earlier interview LaVar Ball explained why he developed his own independent AAU basketball team and it was because of the in due influence of the big shoe company's involvement in the whole process. You can hate on LaVar for a lot of things but "him NOT LETTING THE SHOE COMPANIES, NCAA, SPORTS AGENTS to profit off his kids" is commendable.
I just saw an attorney state that the FBI looks at this situation from the standpoint of THE BIG SHOE COMPANIES CORRUPTING THE PROCESS AND THESE KIDS at an early age (13) and that they see the families involved more as victims and not perpetrators.
I am waiting to see if the MEDIA is going to interview LaVar regarding this, since he has been SPOT ON regarding the undue influence of these shoe companies but since he is RIGHT HERE, they probably won't as it would put him in a very FAVORABLE LIGHT and ruin their "narrative" about him!
Rick is going to Federal Country Club Lock Up!
80 years??? Is it that deep.. all these kids that make these schools all their money get one penny and its a federal crime.. cmon na
You mean to tell me they found katina powell testimony credible
Some how LaVarr gets a win out a this!
He don't lose
So if your school is getting Federal $$ You better be running your ship straight.. The Fed's are coming for you!
LMAO
Let's be honest. Who doesn't do this. They were just dumb enough to get caught.
It's been happening forever. Watch our last video on this situation
“If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it ain’t a mongoose.”
I’m sorry Stephen A., did you just assume that ducks species? Maybe that duck identifies as mongoose. How intolerant can a person be. 😡😡😡
theocratickingdom30 fuck a Mongoose
theokchannel
No thank you...
I like my snake whenever I need it...
😋😋😋
I'm Offended!!!!
he should be fired for this. so insensitive :p
STFU wit yo lame ass, 12 yr o,d white kid headass, jokes out of ESPN comment section take that BULL to PewDiePie or some emo ass channel
bruh....80 years??
Can Someone explain what's goin on? What's this scandal Louisville is involved in?
EVERY THING SMELLS!!!!
Out at louisville ? So they fired gee. Fuck is out? 🤔
So y'all acting like patino not plugged in better do your research
who?
Me
They pay the players with college tuition! The idea is to go to college and get an EDUCATION. That's what they signed up FOR. If they want to be paid like professionals they need to earn their right to be a PROFESSIONAL.
Damn...Now it will be less fun to watch Kentucky beat Louisville...
KyREN3GADE 82 Dont count Ricky P out yet. He got players in the FBI
The dirty side of sports
Cavs in 7
Sam M Celtics in 6
Sixers in 5. "Trust the process"
Hidden Son 😂😂😂😂😂😂W
Hidden Son that's a long ass process
this will kill college sports or change it. they either need to get paid- or shut down all sponsorships- cos someones getting paid- and it SHOULD be the players.
Athletes CHOOSE to go to college. Many athletes get a FULL RIDE FREE EDUCATION AND THEY GET TO DO EXACTLY WHAT THEY LOVE TO DO...PLAY BALL. NOW MANY WILL DISAGREE BUT A 50,000 dollar free education is perfect. They travel everywhere. They get to grow as an adult. People with power and $$$ will always exploit those who do not have it. But college is for education. Players that get a free ride and DO NOT graduate is just plain sad; especially including anyone who says "they are only there to play ball....we all know they do not or are unable to make or earn the grades"....blah blah blah. They choose to go; they know the pros\cons but really people underestimate the value of a 4 year degree. Athletes should not get paid until a professional contract is signed. Im sure many will disagree.
It is inappropriate to not paying college athletes for their services. College athletes from every school need to unite together and have a nationwide player strike, if the school expel them because of this, all of the major professional sport leagues will be angry with the ncaa due to a lack of talents into their leagues, so the ncaa will have to pay.
It ain't a damn mongoose
Bet they won't do 1 year In prison for it
It doesn't matter what school they go to? Please bring in someone else besides Max when talking about basketball.
Linking this criminal behavior to paying college athletes is a stupid cop-out argument! College athletes are paid tens of thousands of dollars in tuition, room, board, tutoring, books, supplies, clothing, etc. If that is not enough, they can go to the CBA or Europe.
Louisville will be the S.M.U. of this decade now...
just caught 20 other schools that had players take money
How's that prediction going for you? You're not alone though so don't feel dumb. Many people had that same stupid (no offense) thought about Louisville.
somehow flight took an L because of this...
....2 yrs later, Pitino still hasn't owned it
5 years later... because he didn't do anything.
If you paied college players it would completly take fairness away an then they would be considered minor league professionals. Some schools can afford a high stake teamate and others can't..keep t how it is, their just kids.
I said this before and no one wanted to pay attention. In 2015 when the escort and sex scandal was brought up about Louisville and Rick Pitino, the only reason he got off was because the accuser was a black woman. I am sure you all remember.
All of his energy against rick Pitino,yet he didn't have this outrage and loud mouth when he was speaking against Ray Lewis, Lesean McCoy The NFL and Donald Trump, when all hell broke loose and everyone were "Standing or kneeling in Solidarity" He was so domicile and you didn't even hear him criticize the two Black Players who were so vehemently against Kaep, yet when their Masters'" money was said to be at stake they knelt for the masters.
What a shame to do this to a legend like Rick but acts like Roy Williams an coach K an calipari don't be doing anything like that
Lavar for 2020
Bxanned
If it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck., it ant a mongoose 1:53
Not fired yet he's on unpaid administrative leave. AD is on a paid leave
How ironic! He resurrected Kentucky's basketball program and destroyed Louisville's.
That's what people thought...but Louisville is already back...
One of those guys needs a shave.
As APPALLING as the Penn State Jerry Sandusky scandal was, this scandal has EVERYTHING to do with gaining a competitive edge. All schools involved require the DEATH PENALTY!!!! Pitino should be banned from coaching college basketball for life!
Crimmnal
19 year olds making billions of dollars for the NCAA and what do they get? Tuition. What's the definition of exploitation again? I forget.
Thats all they do stephen a smith is win
What's next in this fraud situation?...
Is the NCAA going to make Louisville vacate their 2013 men's basketball title?
I hope that doesn't happen.
But in all honesty...
#ICouldCareLess
JRx45_NYRfan845 they made them take the banner down a long time ago due to the stripper scandal
Richard Hughes And as a Syracuse fan (me)...
I hope the NCAA strips Louisville of the 2013 title.
I know I said that I hope it wouldn't happen.
But fuck it...
I hope that they do.
P.S. I totally give my full respect to Big Blue Nation (Kentucky), the REAL face of college basketball.
Sincerely...
#OrangeNation
@@BlueshirtFan4Ever - Nobody here really gives a fuck. You can't erase history, it's impossible. What happened has happened and that's how it'll always be. Thankfully, the NCAA didn't go after the future of UofL...and because of that, Louisville had just one bad year and now right back in the top 15, with a top 5 class next season and most of this team coming back...and back to being better than Syracuse.
So the kids can't go straight to the league, they can earn money doing what they love, but they want to tell them what they should do or not do while you're making the money sounds like slavery to me.
This is sad
Yup and it's jut the beginning, watch our last video on it if you have the time
United States of Hypocrisy
Jesus Christ he literally didn’t anything
Trump waiting on yo tweetLol
He needs to be in jail
ur a dumbass.....theyre all doing it. just caught 20 more schools with players that took money
Dennis Smith Jr, Nerlens Noel, Markelle Fultz just to name a few
Duke, KY, Kansas, UNC, Mich St, USC, Texas....
So lock everycoach up from every school involved?
NCAA been a joke
Just an embarrassment to the celtics organization
Trump is my dawg
I guess blacks aren't good enough to be a head coach or athletic director at Louisville. Good ol boys network
Death penalty is coming!
