LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Rick Pitino couldn’t survive another scandal, with interim Louisville president placing the coach and his boss on administrative leave amid a nationwide federal bribery investigation that has rocked college basketball. President Greg Postel’s decision came after the school acknowledged Tuesday that the program is part of a federal investigation into alleged bribery of recruits . The 65-year-old coach wasn’t named in the indictment that resulted in the arrest of 10 people including four assistant coaches at other schools and an Adidas executive.
