I hope they keep Tom. It will insure the death penalty and UofL will remain the corrupt laughing stock of the sports world. please please please keep Tom Jurich.

The real reason why they want to keep him is that they fear the athletic department will suffer and be dominated by UK. Let's not kid ourselves. They sold their soul to the Devil and want to continue. They have no integrity if they keep Jurich. No company in America would keep a "boss" if half of this stuff happened. He has demonstrated gross incompetency backing corrupt and amoral coaches. If I was the Board, I would be so worried about what Petrino is doing over at Papa Johns Stadium....since Jurich sure doesn't care about making sure coaches with "history" behave. It proves that if you do enough "good" you can commit a few crimes along the way and still be ok. Plus, doesn't anyone on the board worry what else Jurich has been hiding???? What happens if Pitino flips and then sells Jurich down the river or boosters or whatever.

Jurich is just as dirty as Pitino. I don't understand why these idiots think that if they don't have Jurich as their AD, then their whole athletic program is going to Hell.

A few thoughts:

1. Is there really any way they can keep Jurich at this point? There's a huge rift between Jurich and Dr. Postel, the pres of BOT and Papa John. Jurich had been conspiring behind Postel's back and has been openly defiant his direct orders. How can truly work together or trust one another? They can't coexist - one has to go and at this juncture it looks like TJ is the odd man out.

2. What message would this send to the NCAA as they're now staring down the barrel of the death penalty. Even if they don't get the death penalty, they are going to get nuked. Repeat offender, hookers, buying players?? But keeping the AD who oversaw this (lack of institutional control) after it was reported you were firing him? This would show that boosters are running the program - not the school. The NCAA is going to pile drive them.

3. TJ would be neutered. If there is any compromise made then it would have to satisfy Postel, Papa John, etc. Everything will go through the pres and his power will be stripped. Not only will TJ be ineffective, he'll be angry and will leave the next time a decent AD job winked back at him.

Either way, it' s a win-win for UK. The basketball team is losing it banners and will be nuked for this 2nd offense. Pitino is gone and they have 0 chance finding a coach of equal status even if probation was not looming. Jurich has either lost his job and/or his power. If he stays, grab the popcorn. If he's fired, grab the popcorn. It's going to be a dumpster down at 3rd Street Juco for many years to come.

I think all the out of work hookers should go help the guy. There must be dozens of them needing jobs after the "man" was forced out.

Rumor had that Pitino was offering to employ 5 or 6, but since he only pays by the hour, they couldn't afford a cup of coffee.

Just another gem of babble:

The things Tom did for the University and the city, supersede any faults of leadership under his reign. That man deserves his job, and not only that, the key to the damn city! #pissed

I think he's had the key for a long time now.

This dumb bastard is scared of being “outed” on cats illustrated lol.

Hey Zipp- ya suck buddy! You can protest from now until Christmas BUT—

UL will still be on probation for cheating.
UL will still be losing their title banner for cheating (first time in a college basketball history)
UL will still be losing their final four banner (#vacate)
UL will still be losing over 100 wins (maybe more) which knocks them out of the top 20 in all time
Wins

UL still ran a prostitution ring for underage recruits and got caught.
UL still was paying recruits hundreds of thousands of dollars and it was caught on WIRE TAP

UL still is/ was/ will be investigated by the freaking FBI
UL will still be a laughingstock of the nation (even satirical sites like the onion are making fun... front page of wall street Journal, espn roasting them.

And UL will still be 2nd fiddle to UK in EVERY way. Every way.

Pitino will still be fired and not allowed to coach a game ever again for cheating.

UL will still always have an asterisk *** by their name. Now and forever


BUT I mean protesting will surely pay dividends !


Zipp you da man !! @Steelers2012 you da man too buddy! :)
