Exactly! They know they can do anything they want to Louisville without much of any blowback. The program has been tarnished with scandal and ineptitude for several years. If they did this to Kansas or UK or Duke, they would expect an onslaught from the media, even the news media.
My thought is they didn't purposely screw the Cards with an 8 seed, but in their preparations, didn't concern themselves with what is fair for the Cards. They were more concerned on trying to balance the bracket because of one conference having 14 teams.
If it meant they needed to move Louisville from the 6 to the 7 and then to the 8, so be it. There's just no respect. Louisville in their mind isn't a blue blood program but more of a mid major like 30 win Drake who got a 10 seed.
I was so pissed Sunday I didn't watch much of the bracket preview shows on ESPN, but I've heard from others there hasn't been much of a push back and real questioning of Louisville's seed by the network. Again, just no respect for Louisville at all.
Of course Louisville beating Creighton then Auburn would be the best response but likely not going to happen. Unfortunately, it's going to take Louisville winning even more going forward to rid the stink of the past decade.
