Virginia Tech now has the same issue as Louisville...the other known School is Army...nothing going to really happen except maybe a fine to the Coaches and the school.

http://www.cbssports.com/college-fo...orest-as-teams-that-received-wakeyleaks-info/

I kind of agree that nothing is going to happen. I do believe that the public perception is growing increasingly negative, even worse than it already was. The hooker scandal was bad but people were reporting the story in a neutral way. The jurich comments compared to the Virginia tech press release are what really ticked people off and they went off on jurich.

So now every game Louisville plays, the commentators are going to bring these things up, ecspecially in the upcoming bowl game. And that's what I think is going to be embarrassing for the uofl fans. That is the price they're going to have to pay for jurichs comments which is why I believe fans like yourself are going to grow increasingly angry at these situations. I don't even think a suspension will happen, but this negative publicity has to get extremely frustrating for innocent fans that just want to watch their team play and enjoy success.

Yeah...we are pretty much in agreement...this instead of the focus on Lamar Jackson...and trust me the anger is more out there already

Heck, not only will he not get suspended he might get a raise and a pat on the back. Tom has done it before. This is just a bad look all around.

For the Card fans, here, I tend to agree with another Cat Fans' assessment . . . . doesn't Louisville swing a big enough bat athletically to push out all the trash?

Seriously, with (now) a fresh Heisman winner, and sustained strength in football and men's basketball . . . . it just looks like a prime opportunity to turn the next page, and clean house from Jurich down.

Would this be benefiting others who did not build the foundation? Sure it would . . . . but the University might be better able to sustain a foundation built with questionable means by abruptly severing the very causes of both the success and the raised eyebrows.

They don't have any leadership over at Otis right now...who's going to do it? No president, bot, and the governor is a huge otis fan.

Well, Slugger, good question(s), but if the Gov. loves 'em all that much, and the political stuff gets worked out to his favor with regard to control (I have not followed the BOT story in any detail) the new folks appointed by the Gov. might be the very ones to clean house.

Heard Va. Tech a.d. response via radio this morning. Very to the point about punishment to their assistant coach --he's gone!
Talked to a old teammate and a fishing pal last night and he said UofL a.d. is receiving unfavorable publicity in papers and via radio in South Louisiana!

After Petrino bailed on UofL and Steve Kraigthorpe was hired Tom Jurish told a small Cardinal Caravan crowd including me at the Shelbyville Fairgrounds. Not verbatim but very close "Ive brought in coach Kragthorpe to clean up our football program and restore respectability." Karma can bite you!

They do not have the same issue as UL. Here is the difference:

1. Va Tech AD expressed disappointment and remorse. Jurich expressed defiance and irritation that he was being bothered by it.

2. UL has a long track record of scandal. va Tech does not.

3. Petrino earlier claimed that he had no knowledge of this in a press conference. Now UL confirmed that they cheated. Does this mean that Petrino lied to Jurich (again)?

It is the same issue in this particular case...they was provided information towards WF Gameplan...the difference is the VT AD handled it much better...both cases neither school notified WF they had a mole.

Also, this went on for 3 years...nobody said anything and the only reason this came to light was someone at Louisville left play cards in the trash...and WF stumbled onto something that IMO they thought would give them an advantage...amazing

I've already outlined why UL and Va Tech are two different stories within this same story. UL has a history of running afoul of the rules and they will be treated differently than Va Tech. You also have the subplot of Jurich claiming that Petrino didn't know while the rest of the country giggles in amazement that he can say that with a straight face.

1. First part just disagree....listening to SiriusXM this morning they moved on to Oklahoma and Minnesota already

2. He can't say what he said about Petrino with a straight face

Army will handle this much differently than the other schools involved. West Point has a STRICT honor code and they will more than likely fire all those they find were involved.

I think it depends cause as of yet I have only heard that Elrod contacted someone at Army. I have not heard if the contact at Army accepted the plays or not.

I've already said I'll be glad when he's gone. I've pointed out his hypocrisy among other things. Not sure what else you want me to say on it. I admit that I do try to take a neutral view and ask has he broken any rules/laws. With Sypher, he did neither. It's not in the NCAA rulebook or any law that you can't sleep with another woman. So even though I don't like it, what am I supposed to do? He made my school look bad. I'm not his boss. I have no control other than to not watch.

What if I'm a Baptist and I hate him because he's Catholic? He hasn't broken any rules, but in my eyes he's done bad because he's a catholic that paid for an abortion. What if I'm muslim and I hate him because he's an infidel? S

See you start getting into grey areas when you apply your set of morals to someone else. Not everyone has the same set of morals, beliefs, whatever you want to call it. That's why I stay out of the Sypher issue. Plus it was in 2003. Ancient history.

I'm very embarrassed by all of the stuff going on NOW.

He didn't sleep with another woman, in fact from all reports neither one of them even had time for a nap. What he did was bang a woman on a tabletop in a public restaurant with some of his friends as witnesses.

I don't understand the need for UL fans to establish whether or not Pitino committed an illegal act. Seems that is the lowest bar to clear and an unsubstantial level of concern for a so called University dedicated to preparing young people for roles in leadership. Even our justice system makes a distinction between "legal" and culpable. Many people who do not go to prison because their actions are not deemed to be breaking any laws are still found to be culpable and are judged against in a court of law. They are found to be at fault and to be blamed for their actions even if they have not broken a law. They are still held accountable for their actions.
