Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings reacts to a call during a game against Tennessee on Feb. 14.

We can probably all agree this morning that Louisville coach Rick Pitino has nailed down the top spot for this summer's biggest college basketball story.

As one Web site devoted to sports humor noted Wednesday: "Pitino cheated on his wife, had sex in a fancy restaurant and gave the other woman $3,000 (for an abortion). And that's HIS side of the story."

In truth, for anyone who has ever been a spouse or a parent, there is no humor in this. There is only sadness, disappointment, even disgust over the 56-year-old Pitino's sordid behavior.

(Feel free at this point to break for a long shower as you consider what these admissions must be doing to his wife and five children.)
