What?????--Book alleges UofL used escort services

Don't think I agree. A 2 time NC, HOF coach has trouble recruiting there - before this mess. And if Pitino is gone because of this mess, I think that same mess will prevent them from getting anyone of real value right now.
They could always beg Denny Crum to come back by telling him it was just a joke
Pitino is a 63-year old screamer. Replace him with a 45-year old up-and-comer and you'll see recruiting trend way upward. Recruiting is what does in all the old guys. Recruits think "if you don't have the energy for me, why should I put out all my energy for you".

Pitino will be easy to get rid of...
Jurich and Ramsey have already alienated him and it's just a matter of time.
The problem for UofL is that Jurich and Ramsey are the ones who created the culture there and they are absolutely tied to each other.
I'd guess that there are going to be a lot of payoffs at the lower levels for people to keep quiet about all that's going on there, and it's not all tied to athletics.
I think that it might be a little bit like the SMU deal back in the 80's.
Even when they WANTED to clean things up, they couldn't.
The corruption was much deeper than the NCAA knew and all those that were aware of it still had to be paid to keep quiet.
Someone needs to dig deeper into that multi billion dollar endowment that Ramsey has been dipping into...

On a different yet similar note: The possible prosecution of Powell, isn't Prostitution a misdemeanor and not a felony? Work with a Lot of U of L fans (yes I live Louisville) that are hoping Powell is prosecuted my response to them is: with the present prison overcrowding you want to release a Murderer/Serial Killer/Embezzler/Sypher to make room for a Prostitute or just stuff another in? So without the Age of a recruit in the problem WHAT SAY YOU THE LEGAL EXPERTS THAT ROAM THIS BOARD.... PROSTITUTION FELONY OR MISDEMEANOR?
Still don't agree. K is recruiting great, Williams was fine before the scandal started taking its toll. UL just isn't a draw on its own, in my opinion. But I do agree, to have a chance they'll have to get lucky with a young, cocky and brash coach, much like we dd with Pitino. But Pitino had the the best facilities in the country and was recruiting kids to resurrect the bluest of blue blood programs during probation over a relatively insignificant money violation, which wasn't even proven. That is a much easier situation to deal with than what a Pitino replacement would face, if he is even gone.

Ramsey will be replaced by Bill Clinton
Jurich will be replaced by George A Romero
Pitino will be replaced by Magic Johnson
Jurich will be replaced by George A Romero
Pitino will be replaced by Magic Johnson
His replacement should be Travis Ford or John Pelphrey.

Louisville Gets One-Year Ban From Postseason Play
September 23, 1998| From Staff and Wire Reports
The NCAA banned the Louisville men's basketball team from postseason play for a year Tuesday and put the school on three years' probation because of rule violations.
The two violations in the men's basketball and seven in women's volleyball programs involved extra benefits, recruiting, financial aid, institutional control and ethical conduct.
The Division I Committee on Infractions handed down other penalties as well, among them a reduction of scholarships in both sports.
The basketball program's postseason ban also will include this season's Conference USA tournament.
"We had nearly 100% agreement with the NCAA enforcement staff on all facts of the case," said John Shumaker, university president. "The NCAA's response has been tough but the sanctions are fair and I respect their conclusions."
The allegations came to light early last year and, after an investigation that produced hundreds of pages of testimony, the NCAA in April issued a formal letter of inquiry into both programs.
The university acknowledged seven of the volleyball infractions involving recruiting violations and rules prohibiting extra benefits for athletes or their families. It disagreed with the two other allegations, that it did not sufficiently educate volleyball Coach Leonid Yelin about NCAA rules and that then-assistant basketball coach Scooter McCray obtained a discounted hotel rate for the father of forward Nate Johnson.
Louisville was put on probation for two years in 1996 after an investigation unearthed questions about former basketball player Samaki Walker's use of two cars in 1995.
Because the new violation involving the basketball program occurred within five years of the starting date of the previous penalties, the committee applied its repeat-violator provisions to the case.
"Certainly, I'm deeply disappointed and saddened by the decision," Coach Denny Crum said in a statement. "Regardless of the outcome of the decision, I am ultimately responsible for our basketball program and I feel bad that it has had such a negative effect on our program and this university."

just because we all - including and especially any UofL fans lurking - need to read this again.
Are you old enough to remember when two of Denny's players were rounded up by the police at around 2AM for doing something they shouldn't have been doing? The cops had them and had their ID's and the two of them bolted. The cops naturally rounded them up again the next day and said they couldn't believe they ran because everyone knew who they were.
The next day, when Crum was interviewed about deal, he was asked if the players had violated curfew by being out that late on a weeknight. Crum replied, "there is no curfew, these guys are old enough to know when they should be in bed." I remember making fun of that statement to some of my ul friends at the time. I don't believe he could have made a more ignorant statement or have given a better glimpse into the inner workings of that anything goes cesspool he created.

Nope...I used to live in louisville, it's not a bad town, but yes it's a doughnut city...meaning everyone lives around dtown and it's significantly behind all the other regional cities as far as growth especially in the dtown area. Thats what im spe ifically talking about is the dtown. What ppl in louisville like to disguise as "keep lville weird"...it's really no more progressive than lexington as it doesn't have more to offer considering the size difference and that lex is a landlocked college town. As far as Humana, Aetna wants your medicare business in which you scammed the majority of seniors in KY in to forfeiting their traditional medicare to take your advantage plans that covers nothing. No reason to make personal comments because your butthurt. Aetna will probably divest humana in the coming years keeping what they want. I really hope for everyones sake no one loses their job, but some may. That's a reality of it.
No chance. These native Kentuckians and former UK greats would consider taking the U of L job like selling their souls to the Devil.
Zipp, Kerry, and some other dumb *** trying to help with recruiting....
I need new info! I can only visit Louisville's message boards for laughs so many times before their unending stupidity starts to give me a headache.
Zipp and Kerry trying to console each other....
This thread may get a quarter million views before it dies.
Of course, my mind works differently I guess; but I can't see anyone even thinking about that job for a while, unless it's some young, unproven guy who wants a chance. Even so, they'd probably wait and see what, and if, any sanctions are there. Could be wrong, but don't think there is any way they'll get a high profile coach for several years, no matter who they go after.
On the other hand, there is something ...poetic? romantic? ... about being the guy who comes in, cleans up the program and brings it to as much prominence as it can get. SO who knows.

Stuff like that went on all the time back in the Crum era. I brought that up because a lot of guys posting here don't have memories that go back that far. They think the dirty stuff started with Rick. Before, Crum was Jurich and Pitino rolled into one. Crum is the reason ul didn't bolt to a bigger conference and the reason Schnellenberger left. He told them if they wanted to win a national championship in football, they had to move to a bigger conference. Crum knew that would destroy his chance at 20 wins per year and also create new demands on his program in regards to discipline and recruiting. He nixed the idea and Howard left when he realized he was a football coach at a basketball school.
This thread will never die. It will live in infamy.
