Unless they can lure a college guy back from the NBA or steal someone that no one has talked about as a realistic chance they dont have a better candidate. Maybe they can get one of those but I doubt it. If its not Mack it is likely it is because he said no. If that isnt the case we will all know because who they hire will be an absolute homerun.

Exactly.
It IS NOT the 5th best program in the country.
Some of you guys had better begin to come to grips with the fact that UL has seriously wrecked its brand for a while. Hookers? That's nuts. And that's on top of the other crap that is surrounding that program.
And I posted elsewhere an article from their local paper that UL isn't swimming in FREE CASH FLOW.
Rank: 21
School: Louisville
Conference: ACC
Revenue: $112,146,504
Expense: $109,393,330
Allocation: $7,403,094
Percent: 6.60%
http://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances/
The allocation figure appears to be amounts that the athletics department transferred back to the school and - under a 2016 change in the NCAA's reporting system - is recorded as a revenue loss. This transfer amount cannot exceed the sum of money the department received from student fees and the school. Keep in mind the other article noted complaints from the academic side of the house, concerning budget cuts and layoffs.
Now, with all that noted, some of this stuff strikes me like government budgeting and spending: spend what you have budgeted, or you'll lose it in the following year. Nonetheless, while I'm sure UL can pay more at the end of the day, it isn't going to be coming out of petty cash. Things are a little tight there overall, and they're bound to be getting a lot worse pretty soon.X A V I E R

They are next tier after the big four. If they aren't fifth, than who Is? Regardless, they land somewhere between 5-10.
Wrecked its brand? Really? That's delusional world...yeah on the court they may have 2-3 lean years like any other school would after getting caught.
However, I think unc is doing ok after decades of academic cheating. I think the usc brand is doing just fine after the Reggie Bush debacle.Last edited by Xville; 03-22-2018 at 11:28 AM.

UCLA and UK are historically the best programs in college basketball. And they have histories of cheating like no one's business.
Kentucky, Kansas, Duke, North Carolina
UCLA
Louisville, Indiana

I have posted a somewhat similar thought on a different thread.
If history is any indication of what seed X teams would thrive, an X team would need to be disrespected enough to at least drop to a 3 seed or lower. I don't think it is exclusively Mack teams that have done well as the underdog... Matta's elite 8 team was a 7 seed.
Both the 1 and 2 seeded X teams gave away games to teams that were clearly inferior. They were good enough to beat the teams they played by double figures and when they had the chance to step up and put the game away... they didn't.
