Rick Pitino's Contract With University Of Louisville Men's Calls For His Termination For Conduct "Offending The Public" Or "Moral Depravity".

The University of Louisville's contract with men's basketball coach Rick Pitino allows him to be fired for cause for acts of “moral depravity” or for being dishonest with the university, or for “willful conduct that could objectively be determined to bring (the) employee into public dispute or scandal, or which tends to greatly offend the public.”

Read the contract here, particularly this section below:

6. Termination for Just Cause.

6.1.2 Disparaging media publicity of a material nature that damages the good name and reputation of Employer or University, if such publicity is caused by Employee’s willful misconduct that could objectively be anticipated to bring Employee into public disrepute or scandal, or which tends to greatly offend the public, or any class thereof on the basis of invidious distinction.

6.1.4 Employee’s dishonesty with Employer or University; or acts of moral depravity[.]

Editor's comment: Does having extramarital affair with a whoring gold digger qualify as "greatly offending the public", or count as "act of moral depravity"?

I think NOT, for those of you who want to know.

Just my two cents.

Update: follow link to find this nugget: "The woman accused of trying to extort Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino approached him in a restaurant six years ago, and the two had sex at a table after closing time, the coach told police.

Two weeks later, the married father of five gave Karen Sypher $3,000 after she said she needed an abortion and didn't have health insurance, according to a summary of Pitino's July 12 statement to police. His attorney said Wednesday that the money was to help her get medical coverage, not specifically to pay for an abortion."
