What’s the easiest way to inject excitement into the offseason? Sanctions! Ol’ Rick Pitino let things get a little beaucoup cuckoo with his basketball program a few years back, and those sex chickens are finally coming home to roost. That’s probably the worst thing I’ve ever written. Forget I wrote that. Anyway, sanctions. The list of punishments the Cardinal face includes, well, a lot, but among the most notable are: a five game suspension for Pitino, four years probation (starting yesterday), and the vacation of all wins the program earned from December 2010 to July 2014. That’s a lot of wins, and it includes the 2013 national championship the Cardinals won in Atlanta.
