Have we made sure that Schatzel doesn’t translate to “blue” in some language?

66 year old president who fulfills our desire for a “long term solution”? I hope she succeeds big time, but that seems like a strange choice.

I’m going on record as saying I don’t like it. 😂

I agree and like I have already said the people making decisions at Louisville lately really suck.

Only time will tell, but this doesn't seem like a splash hire.

A Presidents job is to raise lots of money. If she can do that, she’ll be fine.

 

[KozmasAgain]

At 66 years old I don’t think she will have a long run. If she tries to do more damage to the athletic department like Bendapudi did she won’t be raising a lot of money.

Fire everyone

Again, I was hoping for Jay Wright!!!

I would say something more like a dull thud..
