Rick Pitino told ESPN that he feels he was "assassinated without evidence" by Louisville's "Board of Traitors."
"Every night I go to bed, I'm bitter at the US Attorney's office and at the Board of Traitors at Louisville," Pitino said. "I'm not bitter at the school, but at the Board of Traitors."
Pitino was fired by Louisville after his program was implicated in the FBI's multi-year probe into widespread bribery, wire fraud and corruption in college basketball recruiting. Pitino himself is accused of facilitating a $100,000 payment to the family of Brian Bowen, a former Louisville commit who has transferred to South Carolina.
