    Rick Pitino is a Coward

    CardChipper is right about the Meiners interview-it was not friendly. RP still does speak with media, but only on his friendly terms (e.g. the CJ interview last week). I am not sure I buy the "legal advice" excuse. He can do post game interviews and say "I cant speak about that" every time...

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

    UL has changed the operating model from that of a traditional public university to a profit driven enterprise. As a result, the core mission has largely suffered (# 160+ in latest college rankings and dropping), while the profit side of their model has flourished, and decision authority has...

    Rumor: New Arena

    I hope we do ultimately build on campus. There would also need to be some new development (new hotels, restaurants, bars) near the location to make it a user friendly experience
