Corruption in College Basketball

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

As a footnote to this whole fiasco, the powers that be might want to change the critieria for induction into the college basketball hall of fame until AFTER the coach's career has truly ended.

Ummmm...per the Courier Journal, UL (soon-to-be-former) AD Tom Jurich's 26 year old daughter was recently hired as an "Adidas Brand Manager.'

Methinks a highly paid one at that!

#31 in Class of 2018, EJ Montgomery just decommitted from Auburn.  It'll be interesting to see what else shakes up as cages are rattled.

Auburn's next de-commit may be Brucie Pearl.

Who doesn't love some nepotism.  Joe Buck would say it's the best thing ever.

ESPN 680 just said according to a reporter (could not catch the name) Jurich was relieved of his position.

If anyone was paying Hanner they should've paid him to stay away from the team. 

Yeah since he was the one that got bryant, Holt and Devin Davis in trouble the second time..after hanner was already kicked off the team. Of course they should have known to stay away but damn he did a lot of damage to the roster

Five minute meetings seem like “you have been fired” meetings

Pitino in and out of that meeting like it's a date at the Italian restaurant.

I hope they don't save their butts by making these hires they should have made a long time ago. They do just enough.

They need some major punishment on top of these firings.

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]

I need a Romeo verbal commitment tonight.

I saw on Twitter there will be a 1pm presser to announce these firings I assume.
