    There isn't but butch beard had a long courier journal interview and complained about the coaching search already and he is a Louisville legend. I'm assuming of course but I think this is just to appease.

    If this is true, the Louisville ad is interviewing a guy he would never hire...said in his press conference this past week, he wanted a head coach not an assistant.

    Hard to say. I dont really think so though. I think when Duke or UNC opens up they will make a run at Jay. Then we will know that answer.

    As for Georgetown there is no precedent to say that. It is their own fault though. Their loyalty to the Thompson family was a blessing to college basketball teams everywhere. Noone wanted JT3. Now the real test will be Ewing. Let's see what he does for the next 5 years and if a big boy or even the NBA comes calling we will see. I'd think he would go NBA before anything else though

    Xavier should just hire David West and call it a day. Guy would be all over the refs.

    In 1997 the total athletic budget for UL was around 17 million dollars....the 2017/2018 budget is 104 million. A 6 fold increase in 20 years! According to reports I’ve read, many donors thought that they were donating for education and research, but the money went to new athletic facilities. The athletic department gets upwards of 90% of the revenues the Yum Center generates. The University subsides the athletic department to the tune of 5 million a year, otherwise they would show a loss. UL displays virtually everything that is wrong with big time college athletics running unfettered.....but the times they are a changin’.
    This. Plus prostitutes.
