Reports that she is heading to Penn State. I guess another large batch of the fire everybody crowd will get their wish.

The university looks ridiculous.

Losing a president and AD within day’s of each other seems unprecedented. I guess if Neeli isn’t into sports, sans the football team, she’ll fit right in.
 
A long President search, followed by a long AD search, followed by fallout of NCAA decision with basketball program (with, at best, a new AD and new President who will likely just want to rip off rear view mirror). Good times ahead!

This whole situation is a load of crap and makes UofL look real bad. I wish some would get that memo. Maybe the local media types are feeding this monster so they'll have something to write/report about.

GO CARDS!!!

The local radio and Twitter guys have succeeded in riling up the fan base with rumor and innuendo. And then when things don’t pan out like their “sources” said it would, they then blame it on sabotage from Tyra, Neeli, BOT, other media types, etc, etc. It’s a really sad day for UofL and the near term looks really bleak.
 
It's a "Hold My Beer" race to see who can disgrace themselves the most. Who is responsible for turning lights off and on? They are now in charge.
 
I bet Chris Mack has a spring in his step on Friday during the DePaul game.

With Neeli Thickabooti gone, I'd much rather Tyra stay than leave. At least he's a known commodity and not having a President and an AD at the same time sounds like a very bad idea, especially if the NCAA stuff comes down over the nxt year (which is likely). I don't think he's done a bad job at all, and he can operate as he wishes now.

Anyway, I was down on Hurstbourne Parkway and I heard at Momma's Mustard Pickles BBQ that Jay Gruden is going to be the new President. I wonder what they're hearing down at Ehrler's and Mike Linnig's?

Hire the best candidates for positions that are open, ones that are qualified with experience at the positions posted. Neeli had never been a President of a University before I don’t understand why she was hired in the first place.

She just got hired at one of the largest land grant universities. Clearly she was qualified.

It was my understanding that she had been a highly placed individual at both Kansas and Ohio State. Both of those schools are highly recoginized. I'm not sure Dr. Ramsey had ever been the president anywhere either and he was highly effective here. Yes, he had been a VP at the university level but I think Neeli had been as well.

GO CARDS!!!
 
Actually none of this matters any longer as she is gone. Now we need to vet the next candidate fully and make a good decision regardless of age or sex. I cannot imagine PSU not vetting NB properly as they are a highly successful University with a high ranking. Something that I hope the University of Louisville aspires to be.

GO CARDS!!!
 
For all you conspiracy theorists, the UofL provost is Dr. Lori Gonzalez - a UK grad. Likely she will be acting President

Hmmmmmm, I wonder if she got all of her degrees (undergrad, masters and PHD) at uahkay? I seriously doubt that. If so it would be an incredibly rare situation.

Really not that bad. It gives them an opportunity to start fresh and get aligned.
 
Sorry, just trying to be humorous along with all of the theories.. I thought one more wouldn’t hurt.

To your point, there is some bro at the Purdue board saying he talked to Jeff Brohm at some fruit market and he doubts Jeff will ever coach for Louisville. Oh, and he bought Jeff some fruit (LOL seriously). Might be legit post, might be BS, but those "I talked to some guy down at whatever" posts just make me LOL.

And Pitino! The boys are getting the band back together!
Or Mark Jurich as AD and Tom in an Advisory role
Richard Pitino as HC with Rick as director of Basketball operations.

So we don’t have to officially hire them back ;)
