What if Jurich used bribes to get ACC votes?

Woud Adidas pay a few trustee a few bucks to get elevate a UofL???

Seems to be true.

He didn't need to. He was competing against a rock. Oops I mean rock star who was more interested in sitting by the pool with a drink with one of those little umbrellas and a bunch of tropical fruit.

It fascinates me how easily you've swindled the rubes onto this board into believing that's what actually went down.

Hookers and coke, and the Louisville better hand Jurich a signed, blank check or the FBI is going to find out about it.

I thought it was donuts or something.

There's a horde of dozens of other posters parroting him now. I think they alternate between donuts and piña coladas.

No logic, no evidence, no facts. Just grown men lashing out in anger and showing an inability to control their emotions.

Jurich has shown he will do anything to push his cause

Listen, it is hard enough to deal with the fact that Louisville out-maneuvered UConn to get in the ACC. But if pizza had anything to do with the ACC selection, and Connecticut lost....then that would be the height of insanity!

Even if this isn't true, I'm running with it.

Without proof I have always believed that Louisville partially bought their way in. They have always fudged their financial numbers with their arena/stadium, and I'd be absolutely shocked if certain ACC school officials weren't given benefits of some type.

That being said, if true, it won't help with Louisville's ouster nor UConn's addition. If anything, those schools will have more incentive to let sleeping dogs lie. If I had to guess, in five years everything is status quo, but Louisville may be an ACC bottom feeder rather than their current contender position.

Must be a bunch of Alabama voters.

I always believed something happened. Jurich said himself "UConn was written in stone...the frontrunner." If the school is willing to hire Petrino and allow hooker scandals/pay offs why wouldn't they do anything to get a spot in the Power 5? Everyone knew what Louisville was academically and ethically. We did on this board. Certainly Presidents of prestigious academic institutions in the ACC. They should be asked some tough questions today about the wisdom behind that decision.

Please stop. They would have had to pay off multiple individuals at multiple universities without having worried that one of them -- not athletes or coaches but administrators and outside trustees -- wouldn't go to the cops. There was no rational strategy for bribing their way in. As much as I'd like to believe it also.

They definitely bribed them all. Or blackmailed. Not entirely sure which one yet.

maybe both

Blackmailed them to keep silent by threatening to let people know they took bribes?

We must all boycott Papa John's !!! ... I have all my life, because CT has great pizza.

 

[StoweD210]

In the real world, if I was in a position of any type of responsibility, I would not comment or speculate on this without some sort of verified proof.

In message board world, though, where you can say "Where's there's smoke, there's fire" and act like that's rock solid evidence, things are different. We know Louisville has used hookers and cash to lure prize recruits to their basketball team. Their highest profile coaches have less stellar character records. Taking that into account, we're supposed to just accept that when a bid to a P5 conference was on the line, with all the prestige, exposure and revenue streams that represented, UL played completely by the rules and was accepted entirely on their own merits? Okay

He almost never has a point. Just likes to whine and complain and sound self-righteous.
