The Official UofL Thread (UPDATE: Pitino, Jurich Reportedly Out)

#Louisville to announce interim AD at 3:45. presumably Vince Tyra. But two sources say Tom Jurich's odds of regaining post better than 50%.

And this is how Louisville flirts with the death penalty

No chance Jurich stays on..some of you guys sound like the babies over on Cats Illustrated.. I didnt read all 28 pages but never saw anyone mention the cheerleader dying in the football dorm or the player who is a drug dealer or the 2 ul football players that got shot last fall..Notice how that was swept under the rug by hoghead..He is so corrupt it's pathetic. No way he stays..Dont know why people can't see this. Look at the money he has stolen from the school. Talk to members at Audubon Country Club and see if they know anything about him. Oh well enough from me.

Because I reposted something from someone with actual sources?

I trust that more than some guy on a message board.

If they reinstate him and ultimately lose to the FBI in this case, Louisville athletics is doomed....

I would think so too.

If I were Postel, I'd resign if the University Board voted to reinstate him.

The entire institution will be doomed. At this time, UL is struggling with their accreditation for academics. They are already struggling somewhat with donor fatigue. IF major donors continue to bail, for whatever reason, UL is REALLY going to struggle. Add in returning lots of money due to punishment for whore-gate for vacated wins and such. Then add in money, if any, for buyouts for Pitino and Jurich. I suspect the lawyers representing UL will want to be paid if they aren't already on retainer. All of a sudden the total could be enormous.

^^^Adidas has there back.

[Catsrock]

Papa John is certainly not blindly following Jurich. Other major donors...not sure. More may bail if they fire him than if they keep him if they're like the rest of the fans. I didn't know of any accreditation problems for them. It's UNC it seems would be in trouble in that regard.

No idea if I'm one of the babies or not. Seems like good conversation to me.

^^^Interesting, thank you. And as a UofL rival this is the only part of all this that is in no way funny. Our state does in fact need more than one public university. Just need one of them to have athletics though.

[Dwight Schrute]

I may be in the minority here, but I want the U of L program to be good. I am a UK fan, but 75% of what I hate about U of L is the sleaziness the school operates with. I'd love to have two strong basketball programs in this state that can exist respectfully. I know the rivalry will always be what it is, but the animosity doesn't.

Well UL will certainly have no interest in terminating the contract. I suppose the only reason Adidas would try to slither out of it is if the feds render them financially unable to pay it. Doubtful the fines will run a major company out of business.

The companies involved in the scandal may deserve equal blame to the schools and recruits but will not likely feel equal pain of the punishment.

Out of line.
