    There's no chance this from Doc's article is true:

    "When the ACC voted to add the Cardinals in July, 2014, to replace the newly departed Maryland, I was told that the Cardinals' acceptance took more than one vote. UC was part of the initial balloting. The first ballot was tied. UC and U of L, dead even."

    Perhaps the question being asked was, "which of these programs do you dislike more?" Then it makes sense.
    We've come a long way since my bench seat at the Fieldhouse!

    That was too close Dash - I'm not clicking on Paul Daugherty's pontificating garbage.

    Obviously not condoning what Louisville did here, but give me a freaking break Doc sitting there in your ivory tower. He'd give his left and his right ball sack (if he actually had either of those) to be what Louisville has become..hooker scandal or not. There are way worse things going on at big time universities than what occurred inside of those dorms...again not saying that what they did was ok, but get a grip Doc.

    My apologies band.

    I just think it's funny that he felt compelled to write a worthless "soothing ointment piece" for the benefit of all the demoralized Bearkitten fans, as if any of them truly prefer the high moral road versus P5 status and all that money.

    The more I think about all this, the more I come to the conclusion that, while it would have been better in some respects for UC to have made it into the Big 12, I'm rather okay with the idea of them being banished to mid-major'dome for the immediate duration. They would have become insufferable had they made it.

    It's like Churchill once said about the Germans: "they're either at your throat or at your feet." I prefer the kittens to be at our feet. Besides, UC as an institution seems to be doing okay anyway. It wouldn't be right for its fans to get too bigheaded; that wouldn't be good for them.

    Well, the bolded part may be true, the the assertion is ridiculous.

    From UL's point of view, the Louisville vs UC game was, at best, a showcase game in the years UC was really good (which were admittedly several). When it wasn't that it was just another conference game. There was no real rivalry here. It's Michigan vs Purdue. Yes, there are years in both football and basketball where that is a big game, but there's no real rivalry there outside of it being a conference game. Kentucky and Memphis were really the only two teams that Louisville viewed as rivalries. That's not to say that there weren't other big games, or other games that got intense, but they never rose to the level of being a regular heated rivalry. UC was not Louisville's rival. I've lived in both cities and I actually find it funny that UC fans try and look at it as if it were a rivalry game. There wasn't nearly enough hate for it to rise to that level. Not even close.

    True, but the UC-Louisville football game was also a trophy game (Keg of Nails). But to Brew's point, that would be like saying that Ohio State-Illinois is a huge rivalry just because of the Illibuck trophy. Illinois would consider OSU a rival in football, but OSU isn't reciprocating (even when the Illini are respectable or pulling Rose Bowl bids out of the blue).

    Louisville lost their appeal. Rick Pitino will get a break for part of next season.

    New Book Alleges Louisville Recruiting Scandal

    This is dangerous. I could very easily see a scenario in which Pitino essentially says "screw you" to the NCAA and takes his talents to the NBA.
