Pitino would be king in Vegas! He would be living the high life with his buddy Wynn. Turn the UNLV program around and he would be instantly legendary in Vegas. I cannot fathom how, assuming he would be getting similar pay, you would pick a city like Louisville over Vegas.
Considering the now bad blood between RP and the President (and others whom we probably don't even know of), why even put up with that mess? This years Louisville team had the potential for a huge run in the tournament--maybe even national champions. Instead, and behind RP's back no less, the school placed themselves on a self-imposed post season ban, ultimately punishing players who had absolutely NOTHING to do with the scandal.
So, unless the university president gets the boot himself, why return to a program that unfairly punished you (assuming he really didn't have any knowledge of incidents) and your players? Especially when you have a team like UNLV who is welcoming you with open arms with a great opportunity for a fresh start. His resume speaks for itself and he has nothing more to prove to Louisville by returning.
I just don't get it.
