Normally not a huge fan of Bilas, but in this case, I'm all for it. The better Sean looks, the better Archie will look. Although Sean's actions have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with Archie, there are plenty of people out there who will associate the two and assume that because Sean's program is suspect, Archie's is, too. Obviously none of us will, but don't doubt that other schools will use that in recruiting against IU.

Pitino is like Nixon. He just can't stop lying. According to ESPN, he has been identified as "Coach 2" in the FBI report -- as in $100,000 was funneled to the family of Brian Bowen at the request of "Coach 2." ... Keep pleading innocence, Ricky -- you're not gonna get that $44 million you think Louisville owes you!

Penn State 38, IU 20

I don't see the NCAA shuttering the UL program for any period of time, for several reasons: 1) Practice starts in a couple days. Unless the NCAA acts in the next 2-3 days, I don't see them letting these guys practice for any period of time, then saying, "Hey, sorry -- you guys don't get to have a season." 2) I can't believe they'd let them play this season -- when the poop hit the fan -- then decide they can't play in 2018-19 or later. 3) There's too much money to be lost 4) If they didn't shut down an athletic program that harbored a child rapist for years while looking the other way, I don't think it happens here.

Yep. As Jeff Goodman said on ESPN last night: You can lie to the NCAA. You'd better not lie to the FBI.

Why would they ask Jurich to fire Pitino? What would they say ... "Hey Tom, can you fire Rick. And then after that, we're gonna fire you." ... Clearly, the plan was to remove them both, so why want Jurich to drop the ax on Pitino? As a way to acknowledge his culpability in the whole thing?

Apparently, someone is having a little fun on Wikipedia: Thomas M. Jurich (born July 26, 1956) is an American college sports administrator and former football player. He was the vice president and director of athletics at the University of Louisville until he done got fired. He was hired on October 21, 1997 after holding the same positions at Colorado State University and Northern Arizona University. On Oct. 1, 2007, Jurich and the university entered into a contract that runs through July 26, 2023. The agreement was an extension of an agreement that began April 1, 2004.[1] In 2007, Jurich was selected Street & Smith's SportsBusiness Journal/SportsBusiness Daily National Athletic Director of the year.[2][3]

Only someone with a caveman mentality would post such a story.

I remember hearing this interview -- at least on a podcast. I was so disappointed the interviewer didn't press him on that. I'm sure he wouldn't have answered, but you gotta at least ask!

Boy, this whole thing sure does make Kelvin Sampon's extra texts look like a booger, doesn't it!

Remember, we're IU -- not Louisville! LOL!

Dammit! There goes my 45-17 prediction!

IU 45 Ga. Southern 17

I guess the strippers and hookers come later ...

He was just named the WNBA's Coach of the Year.

That pass hit our CB between the 2 and the 8. No wonder he dropped it!

I'm kinda thinking I'd really like three more points in that situation.

Apparently, sacking the QB is illegal ...

Why the eff did he catch that punt at the 2-yard line! Fundamentals, anyone?

When you need 10 yards, why do you throw it 8!

Stay safe, everyone. As one who lives on the coast of Virginia and has been through a few hurricanes, I'm very lucky that Irma didn't head my way -- as once was a projection. Am thinking of and praying for all those in her path. God bless!

I'm a Hoosier who has lived in Virginia for 16 years. The last two times we played the Cadavaliers, we lost (very badly one of those times). This time, we turn it around ... IU 30 U.Va. 22

Not a big deal, but I believe the game is at 3:30 p.m.

They won't. They'll win by four.
