As Louisville's scandal queen Katina Powell was on ABC's "The View," one of the show hosts took to Twitter. Watching @TheView a female escort justify why she brought her daughters around a basketball team while she was having sex. WHAT! #shame— Sherri Shepherd (@SherriEShepherd) October 23, 2015 This female escort w her daughters on @TheView is making not one iota of sense - she is writing a book for money #goodgrief— Sherri Shepherd (@SherriEShepherd) October 23, 2015 The fans chimed in, too.

My perspective on Rick Pitino and UofL on ESPN’s Outside the Lines
I appreciate the invitation to offer my thoughts on the University of Louisville's prostitution scandal to host Bob Ley on ESPN's "Outside the Lines." It was best "choke a bro" pantomime ever.
After a sex scandal, it’s time to put on your big boy pants
Dear City of Louisville leaders, Where are you? We’ve got a small image problem turning into an indelible stain. See: Rowan County’s Kim Davis, or Subway’s Jared Fogle, or Minnesota's lion killing dentist. The taunts are relentless. “Traffic reports say there is a mattress on I-65 near campus. Isn’t it illegal to destroy evidence?” According to U of L, "This is our time to soar." Right now we’re just sore. After prostitute/daughter peddler Katina Powell got the ESPN car wash treatment, millions of viewers can’t help but think that The Ville has become The Vile. Tom Jurich knows how to handle his business. Rick Pitino will relentlessly fight to protect his team. They’re battling sordid wildfires raging on campus,
Pitino follow up on our raw radio chat
At the University of Louisville basketball tipoff luncheon, head coach Rick Pitino spoke to a crowd of 1,200 fans excited for the new season, but also nervous about the alleged prostitution scandal swirling about. FULL TRANSCRIPT OF PITINO REMARKS via Courier-Journal My October 8 radio conversation with Coach Pitino came up in his address to the crowd. ------ From WDRB.com - Pitino said that he was not angry at WHAS radio personality Terry Meiners, who began an interview last week by asking Pitino if he had plans to resign. “Some people thought he blindsided me,” Pitino said. “He probably did … The person who blindsided me is my friend … his job is not to build me up in that moment, his job is get
My Rick Pitino interview on UofL’s prostitution scandal; fans react to media spotlight
INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT University of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino is under fire for alleged scandalous behavior between players, recruits, and their adult guardians with prostitutes. Prostitute/madam Katina Powell claims she brought multiple prostitutes into UofL's Minardi Hall at the request of former director of basketball operations Andre McGee. The salacious story is told in Powell's book "Breaking Cardinal Rules." Hours before the radio interview, University of Louisville president James Ramsey issued a statement praising athletics director Tom Jurich without one word of support for Coach Pitino. Also, CBS Sports quoted an unnamed source saying that Ohio State freshman JaQuan Lyle, a former Louisville recruit, acknowledged to the NCAA "the gist" of allegations of paid escorts. Pitino had no idea any of this nonsense was
UofL Cards in Puerto Rico
The University of Louisville Cardinals are scheduled to play 9 games in 6 days, a special series of exhibition games against the Puerto Rico National team. Rick Pitino is coaching the PR players and his UofL assistants are coaching the Cardinals. Pitino (and returning players) say that this new team has a much stronger bond than last year's team. They break every huddle with a shout of FAMILY. Puerto Rico reporter: "What do you want to accomplish here?" Rick Pitino: "We want to win." Reporter: "Which team?" Pitino: "Yes." While Ralph Willard led the Louisville starters, Rick Pitino coached his Puerto Rico team at the other end of the floor. But there is more than basketball for spectators in San Juan. Hey look! I finally

The One Day Contract has 4,000 more renewals
Rick Pitino has received another contract extension at the University of Louisville, carrying him through 2025. Watch him with his boss Tom Jurich celebrate the moment. Another reason Rick Pitino loves his life in Louisville is because it has allowed him to retain long term local relationships with buddies. Rick has a zillion friends around the world, but living in the same spot for 14 years has taught him the value of rooting in with friends who are down the street or a few miles away. The UofL basketball boosters group Friends of the Ville is loaded with some of the city's top business leaders and a strong contingent of everyday guys working nine to five. It keeps Pitino
Simon Meiners: higher ed just another bought-off industry
From The Courier-Journal Higher ed is a "bought-off industry” Simon Meiners 11:58 a.m. EDT May 30, 2015 Fielding criticism about his bonus payments, University of Louisville President James Ramsey recently warned that if the school's board of trustees absorbs the U of L Foundation then “political appointees” will seize control of its $1.1 billion in assets. But how would that make things any more agenda-driven than they already are? An economist by training, Ramsey already shills for an ideology that serves him and few others. The U of L business school just announced a $6 million gift-backed “free market economics institute” whose stated mission is to trace the pattern between free market policies and gains in individual well-being. That mission itself is blatantly partisan.
