Pat Kennedy On The Newest Scandal Involving Rick Pitino And Louisville Basketball

Pat Kennedy is a former NCAA Head Basketball Coach.

Pat joined Ed and Steve to talk about the current scandal at Louisville, involving parties with strippers and underage consumption of alcohol on campus for basketball players and basketball recruits.

When asked if the scandal was plausible Pat said "yes, it's a well known fact that when youngsters come on recruiting trips to universities they are taken to parties." Pat also mentioned that this is probably just the beginning and that there are problems with these trips that are probably much more serious.

Ed asked Pat what he meant by more serious problems and Pat said "a lot of times you an follow the cash, like Shapiro in Miami being on the sidelines and hanging out with the coaches." Pat went on to say "he either got that money from either someone in the coaching staff or someone in the community who was familiar with that kind of money."
