    Right? Jurich has run a practical reign of terror over Louisville for 2 decades. The guy has shown an absolute lack of character above all else. Seeing him go out and having "the best AD in America" see his reputation burned to rubble is...nice.

      I don't know how many more concerts/conventions/expositions YUM could book if not for there commitments with UofL but it's seems if they could get some tennants who pay a fair price for the facilities rather than their screw job with UofL they could benefit.

      But I seriously doubt the death penalty. Just because Forde finally throws in the towel on his hero and says it could happen doesn't mean it will. Not saying its not deserved, just don't see it happening.

      They may keep it busy on weekends but would likely hurt to lose weekday games.

        Recently there was news of a group of investors trying to bring a professional hockey team to Louisville.
        Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.

          Pitino and Jurich have both been relieved of their duties, per reports.

              UofL Interim President Greg Postel said coach Rick Pitino has been placed on unpaid administrative leave, Vice President and Director of Athletics Tom Jurich on paid administrative leave.

                I dunno if the NCAA would have the guts to give a program like Louisville the death penalty, but if anyone qualifies, it's definitely U of L. The closest parallel I can think of is the stuff that went on with Baylor.

                    Goodness gracious.

                    I have to admit that some of this is hard to watch. (Not that I'm going to stop watching.)

                          It would've been incredible if he'd yelled, "You're fake news!"

                          Then gotten into the car with Katina Powell's daughters and peeled off.

                            No, it's not. It's delightful.

                            That scumbag deserves EVERY. SINGLE. SECOND. He ran rampant over that university and city for years, so now when the bully gets bullied, he doesn't know how to take it.

                            I hope he cries and cries and cries and cries. And I'll continue to laugh.

                              No, asshat. YOU don't belong on this property.

                              More awesome than Pitino is seeing that stinking dictator Jurich finally get his comeuppance.

                                UL President presser at 1 pm. Pitino or Jurich will not be there. This may be it.
