During the ULAA Meeting, at which Coach Rick Pitino’s fate as the head coach of the Louisville Cardinals was being discussed, Dick Vitale took to Twitter to defend his long time friend.
In a series of tweets, Vitale explains why Louisville’s board is making a huge mistake.

If Board proves Pitino knew about the deal involving recruit & shoe Co he should be fired & not receive a dime but THAT IS NOT THE CASE!

Head of Board Mr Grissom not a fan of The dollars the Coaches r making / Could he have a vendetta vs Jurich & Pitino?

This @CardinalMBB is a talented legit contender for @NCAA title if Board just took the time to let all the FACTS come in from @FBI report
