The book, The Last Temptation of Rick Pitino, examines what happens to the billions of dollars generated by college sports, how athletic companies "buy" universities, and the demands found in their shoe and apparel contracts. Author Michael Sokolove, held a book signing on Thursday, September 27, 2018 at Carmichaels bookstore, located at 2720 Frankfort Avenue in Louisville, KY. Sokolove stopped by to talk more about the book and the scandal that inspired it.
