Your boy "Vince" was negligent, pure and simple. Say it.
And I don't recall anyone--including you--asking for anyone's head post stripper-gate. To the contrary, FANS were ready to burn Ramsey in effigy for deciding to self impose.
You ain't rewriting history, although I understand how you wanna try...
I'll give you a pass if you weren't here to voice an opinion. Even if you were a voice in the wilderness, as I said, there were plenty of people who wanted to circle the wagons in late 2014. Jurich and Pitino had to both come to Ramsey's defense for taking any medicine with the NCAA.
So did you get much pushback from fans in this space, and do you recall anything specifically? Did you similarly speak out against the crowd who wanted to tar and feather Ramsey for self imposing? Did you openly support Ramsey with his decision as you claim you spoke against Pitino?

Good post . You seem to be a very logical and supportive UL fan. You and others like you are the reason I visit this site. I do like to visit this board, especially during basketball season. I know it is a slow period right now but for several months most posts , regardless of the original topic seem to morph into an anti Tyra thread. Most UL fans seem to be ready to move on but a (small)handful , again small handful of people appear to care more about the past than they do the future. I look forward to the sports seasons and hopefully meaningful discussion about the teams.
As an alum and a life long fan of the University of Louisville, I want our school and program to be looked at in a positive light, not riddled with scandals and deceit. Winning at all costs must mean more to you than having a solid reputation and upholding integrity on all fronts. Oh well.
You’ve said that before. You sound like Zipp and Ncc, not a good look little buddy. I’ll keep supporting my Alma Mater, not past employee’s who were canned.
I'm saying that support for Pitino and Jurich in 2015 was strong, and that I don't recall a single person who claims what you're claiming...
Has nothing to do with popularity.
Lol what a pathetic rebuttal. Zippy junior’s head hurts. Kerry wouldn’t give a **** because it’s a dumb thing to cry about. Underwriters Laboratory?!? You are so rustled by me it’s amazing! Hahaha
Says the retired pool pusher struggling to stay afloat in Indiana Lololol. Have fun stealing money from the University by taking others seats at games. No wonder Turtleneck and Ramsey were God’s to you, they were thieves just like yourself!
If you were a long time poster on this board, you would know my statement is true.
You might as well be Zipp’s nephew. I actually talk Louisville basketball on this board, not how bad you hate the new administration and keep living in the past. Fake fan. Haha. Keep talking about Jurich and I’ll keep living in the present supporting my Alma Mater.
Again, I have agreed that the real-estate situation deal should never have happened and that Tyra was at fault for that, but it was a comparatively small error that was rectified, or remediated and negated, by Tyra’s daughter giving up the financial benefits such that, in effect, she actually lost out on the deal, having worked to secure three deals and ending up with nothing for her time. More importantly, I think that the resolution ensures that something like that won’t recur within the athletic department anytime soon.
That analysis is mostly your opinion. I could just as easily argue that "Vince's" negligence was much more egregious because it involved (a) more money and (b) personal profit.
I never said the prior administration was without fault...those are your words.
Hold on a second... It wasn't just Jurich or even just U of L saying that Pitino had control of things. THE NCAA ALSO CONCLUDED THAT. What did you know that Jurich, his bosses, and the NCAA didn't know? Maybe you're smarter than all of them, and I'm not giving you enough credit!...
Wrong again. You have no clue of what you’re even talking about. I’ve posted on the main board for years. I’ve been a U of L fan my entire life. Keep babbling, I’m sure you’ll receive a couple “likes”.
Sorry that I wasn’t clearer with regard to the post-season ban. What I objected to there was the timing of when it occurred, two-thirds of the way through the season, when the players had worked hard with every expectation of a post-season opportunity. Whether such a ban is imposed by the NCAA, or self-imposed, it should not apply to a season in-progress, so that they players on the impacted team have an opportunity to transfer out (or not to transfer in if they are grad transfers), otherwise they are truly “thrown under the bus”.That analysis is mostly your opinion. I could just as easily argue that "Vince's" negligence was much more egregious because it involved (a) more money and (b) personal profit.
You also don't know that anything was "rectified". You're trying to write an historical account IN ADVANCE. We'll see what has and hasn't changed a few years from now. We'll see if anyone or anything else "unethical: surfaces. Excuse me if I don't accept your belief about what's to come.
I never said the prior administration was without fault...those are your words.
But you're confusing me... You're saying more should have been done, but you're also saying it shouldn't have been a postseason ban. That's the most serious form of penalty. What would you have preferred be done that isn't grounded in hindsight and that you said you wanted done in 2015?

Watch out, they’ll call you a cats fan if you speak facts. Their inability to be objective over Jurich’s lack of oversight is fascinating.
U of L accepted the advice of a former NCAA enforcement staffer (Smrt) in deciding to immediately self impose. They THOUGHT incorrectly that U of L would gain favor with the NCAA. It had nothing to do with collateral damage to other parties whether or not you and I agree with it. But I can't argue that the decision to self impose at that time was capricious and arbitrary. It was more accurately described--in hindsight--as naive and maybe a little self righteous. And there was plenty of remorse about how it affected Lee & Lewis.
