Louisville Basketball head coach Rick Pitino reportedly fired in midst of FBI investigation

The University of Louisville has reportedly fired Men’s Basketball head coach Rick Pitino. Louisville interim president Greg Postel also fired Athletic Director (and university vice president) Wednesday morning. The news comes following Tuesday’s scandal that shook the college basketball world as the FBI brought federal corruption charges against four NCAA assistant basketball coaches in an apparent ‘pay-to-play’ scheme.

Although the university wasn’t named explicitly in the case, “University-6” appears to be Louisville as the coaches discussed the need for discretion due to an ongoing NCAA probation.

This is unreal, where a U of L coach says "we gotta be very low key" since U of L is already on probation.
