LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino on Wednesday apologized for his "indiscretion" of having sex with a woman who later was charged with trying to extort him and vowed to continue coaching the Cardinals for as long as "they will have me."
His comments were the first since news broke Tuesday that he told police that he and Karen Sypher had sex on a table at a Louisville restaurant six years ago.
Two weeks later, the married father of five gave 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 the money was to help her get medical coverage, not specifically to pay for an abortion.

I still don't see what the big deal is, no laws were broken!
Just more Media mud digging and slinging

Actually the big deal is the fact that the man preaches morals to his family and his players and always has with his players. He has a moral clause in his contract, and some feel he needs to be punished for that fact. He did something very immoral, and brought shame upon himself, and it's brought the University into the wrong spotlight.
As far as the media mud digging and slinging.. well... I don't like the media, but, this is on the record and runs current with an ongoing situation with the woman he had sex with, who is under charges for blackmail and extortion.
