 I heard Pitino say that "everyone ,including us, has been lying their
butts off all during the pre-draft wheeling and dealing. It's part of the
routine, I guess.

Bob Ryan has been around a long time, and I've enjoyed his work in the
past, but he sounds desperately in need of a hug or maybe tapes of the 86
team. His article this morning was a "I'm gonna take my ball and go home "
whine festival.I do agree that play has suffered a bit, but he doesn't
offer any solutions, he just bitches and moans. This is America, and if you
don't want to get your degree and you want to make millions of dollars, why
shouldn't you be able to?
