The University of Louisville fired head basketball coach Rick Pitino and athletic director Tom Jurich on Wednesday following an FBI investigation into a wide-ranging college basketball corruption scandal.
Mark Schlabach of ESPN first reported the Cardinals' decision to let Pitino and Jurich go.
On Tuesday, Shachar Peled of CNN reported four college assistant coaches—Chuck Person (Auburn), Lamont Evans (Oklahoma State), Tony Bland (USC) and Emanuel Richardson (Arizona)—were among 10 people arrested by the FBI on "complaints that allege fraud and corruption."
"All of those charged today contributed to a pay-to-play culture that has no business in college basketball," Bill Sweeney, assistant director in charge of the FBI's New York division, said.
