Judge orders lawyers for Rick Pitino and University of Louisville to discuss settlement

A judge has ordered the attorneys in Rick Pitino's lawsuit against the University of Louisville Athletic Association to discuss a possible settlement in the case.

Documents filed Monday show U.S. Magistrate Judge Colin H. Lindsay ordered the attorneys to meet with each other no later than Feb. 8.

After the meeting, the attorneys have 14 days to file a joint written report "informing the court whether prompt settlement of the case is possible."
