Sporting Hipster is pleased to announce its third candidate for the Sporting Hipster of the Year Award: Rick Pitino.

Rick Pitino is a living legend in college basketball, one of the few coaches to take multiple teams to the Final Four.

Rick Pitino recently admitted to having illicit sex with a woman in 2003. And what's more hip than banging some random chick in a restaurant? Perhaps paying for the abortion when you find out she's knocked up with your seed.

A heartfelt congratulations to Rick Pitino, his family and his secretly aborted lovechild.

Other Sporting Hipster of the Year candidates include Jay Cutler and Swine Flu.
