Is is a ploy by the university to try and gain leverage to lower his 10m buyout. They can’t afford it, so they are trying to knee cap an Alumi. Predict this to get really really ugly.

"just cause" meaning he didn't win enough games the past couple of years...but they might give up a scholarship or two if it will allow them to negotiate a lesser buyout

On Twitter, someone suggested Pitino would be interested in the UNLV job (if it were open). The next thought was that they'd have to install blackout curtains in the basketball offices.

Hookers and cash will make a program relevant again very quickly.

UNLV can't afford Pitino. They'd take him if they could, though.

UNLV needs to STFU and give Menzies another year or two. They ran an Orsini level search before and may not be happy w/this years play, but he's had 1 class. They hated the Beard hire too, which shows what they know.
