Wow.

But over the past two years, his leadership came under attack as the university dealt with embezzlement scandals and other embarrassments, including an FBI investigation of its top health care executive and an NCAA investigation of allegations that men's basketball players and recruits were provided dancers and prostitutes. The university also has been criticized for offering buyouts to top officials in exchange for their silence, and Ramsey's compensation has been questioned.

In a related matter, Rick Pitino announced that this change at the presidential level would have no impact on the availability of prostitutes to the university's men's basketball program.

 

[Sea Goat]

But they're P5?

What an e-f- farce. Let the ACC stew in this guano for awhile..

 

[Seaa Blue]

All that to deflect blame away from Pitino...

UConn is obviously not doing what it takes to get into the P5...

 

[noeynox]

This scandal was r years too late for us. Smdh.

Maybe Jeff Jacobs can call up each ACC president and ask them if there are any regrets on taking Louisville over a top 20 public university that sits on the Atlantic coast and is successful in a wide variety of sports.

Talk about arrogant: U of L AD Jurich says he'll 'support' Bevin

Isn't it nice that the AD will support the governor? I think I'll declare myself self-important by putting out a press release announcing that I'll support the CEO and board of my company. Do you think I'll last until the end of the day?

I can't see how Pitino keeps his job, but Briles still has his, so anything is possible.

 

[Adios]

Pitino didn't force the women. Big difference.

 

[UConnNick]

I'm sure the Governor is so relieved to hear he has the support of one of his underlings, who's desperately and transparently trying to cling to the rim of the Louisville toilet bowl.

Replacing the president at Louisville seems analogous to what might occur in a sandbox full of two year old kids, deciding which one is going to be the king or queen of the box.

Wait till they lose their sweetheart deal with the Yum Center.

Not anymore... Settlement reached; Briles won’t be back

Jurich runs that school, well, the only department that matters.

Louisville is the Rutgers of the ACC!

 

[WestHartHusk]

Louisville is the Rutgers of the ACC!

Rutgers is primarily incompetent.

Louisville is primarily fraudulent.

There is an important difference.

But good forbid we send too many texts and are honest about our grades

To add one more point about UConn, it's also a university that is not constantly in the spotlight for a controversy of some sort.
