So the OP started a thread to extol "Vince" for just taking his turn at bat?
About what I thought...

About what I thought...
"Vince" has spent $50 million more the last two fiscal years--not including 2020 yet--than was being spent before he arrived. You ain't matching that number up to buyouts and legal expenses.
He's responsible for donors, and he said his job "wasn't about one guy."
As I said or implied,"Vince" can't make any mistakes in your world...
I am not willing to say that "none of the bad ish is Vince's fault" but I am very willing to say that most of pthe roblems in UofL Athletics are the fault of the previous guy who you seem to love.
But you keep on being you zipper. Not sure why you really post on a UofL FAN board since you seem to never have anything positive to say.
On this good-bad analysis stuff, I get a chuckle from clown show apologists who would prefer to talk about Jurich instead of "Vince".
I've mostly moved on from Jurich since there's so much now to talk about for your new boy. But apologists seem to want to keep a foot on both sides of most issues as it suits their narratives.
So let's talk about the bad ish that's "Vince's" fault that you SAY you're ready to acknowledge. I'm down for that...
Of course you’d prefer to move on from Jurich. That way, you don’t have to talk about both sets of NCAA basketball violations that occurred on his watch and the Bobby Petrino contract he wrote.
If you’re gonna play here and take the stances you do, no way do you get to move on from talking about Jurich and the mess he left us with until all of that is in the past. At this point, we’re at best 67% done with those issues.
Like him or not, until the ink is dry on the final committee of infractions report on the second set of NCAA violations, Tyra is getting a free pass on his skills as an athletic director. No amount of zipp “clown show” rants is going to change that - but by all means, please keep entertaining us.
I didn't need more evidence... Like I said, apologists generally don't believe "Vince" can make a mistake. It's comical while he makes so many.
But hey, I'm down for talking about Jurich as well. I simply hear this contradictory advice to move on from the past. And this advice comes from the very people who refuse to do that. Excuse me for pointing that out...

Clown's performance "your words" is pretty good considering the mess and NCAA problems the prior crooks left us in.
Tell me another AD in a power 5 school who inherited a bigger mess?
I’m going on record as predicting the lock at 67 posts. Anyone else want to play?
I can point out the guy who's increased his spending the most. Silly me, I thought overspending would be the least of our problems...
$14M + was on the other AD and so is the $$ in legal fees to defend the case with NCAA
How about the FIFTY million extra he spent in 2018-2019?
Try to pin that on Petrino's buyout and legal expenses--all of which "Vince" CHOSE to write a check for anyway...
how about the $41 million he DIDN’T spend on Pitino’s contract?
please remind me again which NCAA rules that Petrino violated, which would have allowed him to terminate for cause....
Pitino bailed out U of L, and that had nothing to do with "Vince". But let me know if you're gonna put the Pitino situation in his lap because I've got some other stats for "Vince" I wanna update such as coaching attrition. You don't save opportunity costs on an accounting statement anyway.
How many rules did Les Miles (LSU) and Danny Manning (Wake) violate? That's a red herring...
What do you call dropping a $40 million lawsuit with no financial consideration? It was a huge, surprising gift that no one at U of L is getting credit for...
He got what he deserved so I wasn’t surprised. Unfortunately based on the sanctions Ok State just got I’m afraid his “gift” will have more far ranging consequences for UofL.
Wrong context. Check posts 51-53 which relate to an attempt to give U of L and "Vince" credit for something they had little to do with...
Yaaaaaaaaawwwn....another pissing match I see with Gods gift to UofL Athletics. Wake me up when football season starts. 
Exactly my point in the other thread. There have been yuts er, Grovers banned from here for far less than is posted daily by this jabroni.Yaaaaaaaaawwwn....another pissing match I see with Gods gift to UofL Athletics. Wake me up when football season starts.
It’s beyond ridiculous.
Maybe u should spend more time on the other side of that wall. C’mon zipper, half your posts on the free board recently have been arguing against Vince, the other half have been arguing in defense of Todd Sharp. Neither argument is working out well for you.
You know damn good and well Pitino looks out for himself. There is a reason why he did this and it will come out.
Sharp was pulled over and arrested by NA police last week and then I’m pretty sure he got busted again by Floyd County sheriffs Friday.
That guy has some demons. But in no way, shape, or form it’s VTs fault. Sharp was sliding into the abyss way before he got canned.
It doesn't matter why he did it. U of L had nothing to do with it.
I've asked if someone's gonna be looking after him, it won't be me.
Sharp is just another "Vince" issue for me.
Jurich's final year was fiscal year 2017.
ULAA cash expenses from their audited annual reports:
2017 - $98.6 million
2018 - $113.1 million
2018 - $133.8 million
Compared to 2017, that's a combined increase for 2018 and 2019--new expenses--of $49.7 million. I rounded off...

"Vince" ain't answering tough questions.
And none of Sharp's ish was before his firing.
I like those arguments...
I don't know of any evidence for that. He had 16 years at U of L without incident.
All successful people make other people unhappy along the way. Comes with the territory...
He ain’t my boy, I could tell the guy had screws loose from the first moment I met him, when he was an employee at UofL.
Does this change in any way the possibility that any penalty we may receive from the NCAA will be lighter?
