Right, because doing a reality show is similarly one of life's necessities.

If he comes across well, it's good PR for the program.  Good thing Lavin isn't doing wife swap.  Who would want to give back Mary Ann?

He's doing one episode.  What's the big deal? Everyone who does these shows is employed by someone.  Why should Rico get hated on ?  He is clearly trying to support his wife's career.

if you've never seen an episode of "everyone hates chris" , his wife was hysterical in it.  Her husband played by Terry Crews was awesome also. She's very talented. Good for Rico for supporting her career.

Agree there is nothing wrong with this at all. It's not like he is going on Naked and Afraid for 21 days,

Unless they put this show on HBO or turn it into a porno, this concept is really stupid and so is the show. Would be a bigger deal if you told me Hines was going to be on Game of Thrones or something.

Always considered it to be a trash show...It's not the fact that is a side job or reality TV, it's the fact that he is representing SJU a catholic university. These shows always add extra drama and make people look worse then they really are...I don't see how this make SJU BB look good...

I don't watch the show but I think you are mistaken about this one, Nudge.  The wives are swapped fir purposes of helping the other family with organization, setting boundaries with unruly children, and whatever other deficiencies the other family is complaining of.  It is a stupid show (IMO) but it is not trashy or violative of any Catholic principles.

SimplyRed, I see your point, and you are  (along with others) probably right about the show not being a big deal. In general I will say it is tacky and something that I do not want my program involved in...It just reminds me of Yanks vs Mets a little bit (Yankee fan FTR), as Yanks are always looking for ways to win, the Mets seem to come out with new uniforms or some kind of other gimmick that does not seem to focus on the ball club.

I am pretty sure Rico is doing this to support his wife (which is )very admirable and not his ideal. If SJU had a better season this probably wouldn't bother me as much.  The perception of this is very gimmicky and tacky IMO.

How is this show going to make him look bad?  You make it sound like he will be on one of those MTV shows or the Real Housewives type.

I was just told that it's already been filmed, and the fallout is that Rico impregnated the swapped wife. Everyone panic!

Apparently anyone closely involved with Lavin wants their share of fame. Between his wife as an actress and now Rico being on TV. I guess the saying Lavinwood fits.

1 actress, 1 reality TV star, 1 asst coach to the NBA, 1 lottery draft pick, 1 1st Round NCAA appearance, and 2 NIT appearances...
Hopefully we can get more basketball success  instead of film credits.

Based on what you wrote I would say film credit is behind
