The UofL Foundation and UofL Athletics are the corrupt entities left behind.

We'll see if a new President and a new Board of Trustees will work to investigate those or will work to protect them.

hahahaha wow, the board members were NOT notified until the announcement. Having worked with UK board members and kind of knowing the type, I bet they went totally apoplectic.

Pitino's not going anywhere unless the NCAA mandates it. UL and UNCheat are the same. Never admit responsibility, lie, misdirect, pass the buck, reputation and tradition be damned.
I don't know I think this could be a domino effect with Pitino being the last domino.

It sounds like Ramsey was in on this no? Stepping down instead of being fired gives up a payday right? I think Ramsey was happy to step down if it meant the board that tried to get him fired gets fired themselves.

I think some of us have been saying for quite a while that this was going to happen. I am not a bit shocked that this happened today.

It may serve two purposes. One, good publicity for cleaning up and, two, set up some more positions for cronies.

I'm going to wait a while before I make a decision on this one.

I wouldn't be surprised if we hear later there was a buy out for him to step down.

.... Jurich will be next to move on. The Bevin President and board will not be so "Win at all costs" in athletics. Will be focused on academics.
[roll]

The almighty dollar will win out in the end here. It's a given. UofL Athletics generates a ton of money for them and those insecure pricks will never dare upset that and Bevin doesn't have the balls to either. The fact that he named a UofL lapdog to head the Arena Authority all but guarantees it.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Ramsey was given a guarantee that no further investigation into his shady dealings with the UofL Foundation will be pursued.

And you would be wrong. UofL athletics makes a ton of money for UofL athletics. They will now be forced to do what UK and most other real universities do. They plow BACK money to academics.

All of the athletic embarrassments going on for so long and the prez is the first to go. Seems Jurich and Pitino > than academics, integrity and morality.

And Gov. Bevin is a graduate of Washington and Lee. A fantastic university academically. He is not wrapped up into UofL athletics. UK athletics for that matter. Gov. Bevin intends a new start that positions UofL to be an academic institution, not at the expense of its reputation tarnishing by athletics.
