Eric Crawford WDRB...CRUSHES UofL foundation/athletics scandal

[FrankUnderwood]

You clearly charged that he used his Senate office and salary of 200K to amass a wealth of $17mil dollars. Did so in a thread about corruption at UofL. The TRUTH is that the millions of dollars that he has on his personal financial statement.....is his WIFE's from HER rich family. She is the daughter of a wealthy Taiwanese shipping magnate. Your fake news comment was meant to mislead. I am setting the record straight.

Your record isn't straight nor do you have facts.
You're flat out wrong bro.

And I didn't make the original "fake news" comment buddy . You clearly aren't very in tune with the conversation at hand, and quite frankly I'm surprised you're so naive as to actually believe what youre saying lol

If you deny that MM received his wealth from his wife's family then you are ill informed. The couple was gifted 10+ million from her father. That is just a fact. Your statement tying his wealth to his Senate seat is baseless. Unlike the Clinton's who parlayed their public office into millions of dollars, going from "broke" to multi millionaires by making speeches for Wall Street...while bashing them...or as Obama is now doing....receiving $400K to speak..... You have no evidence of that with McConnell. If so prove it.

 

[~Keyser Soze~]

What jurisdiction would an individual US Senator have over a State University? I understand you don't like him.
You do know Jim Ramsey was a career Frankfort Flunky for +20 years under multiple Democratic administrations and became President of UL while Patton was governor.

I'm not a D or an R and don't care for either of the warring tribes and yes, I do not like McConnell. I'm just saying Mitch McConnell is a huge UL guy and would take care of his boys.

lol I'm not even defending Obama or Clinton as they're both awful. You on the other hand seems to be a Repub snowflake and any little criticism (valid ones at that ) gets you all hot n bothered.


Don't be naive. It's not cute. You're better than that.

 

[morgousky]

Man, that underwood character is a buzz kill. Total blow hard smart ass with arrogance to boot. About the worst to offer. I put him on ignore. Terrible personality type.

Completely owned in this thread and too arrogant to notice. Make another strawman lets see how deep you can dig without being able to notice.

Not a fan of McConnell's connections to UofL, but you took a baseless swing at him regarding his net worth. They are not connected. And even if McConnell was involved in getting kickbacks from UofL or ANY person/group, then he's not dumb, so he's definitely not going to keep any of the money in his name and report it as his own wealth.

Leave your political bias at the door.

Isn't this pretty simple? Lay out your facts or drop it. Facts must be supported or they are just opinion.

 

[CATS1945]

What's so hard to understand...this happens all the time. Program is winning, facilties are being built left and right. Everyone is prospering. Nothing will happen. I'd be surprised it anything did.

It doesn't happen all the time. UL has been doing this for some time. They should have been out on probation many more times than they have been. My brother told me of things happening that they haven't gotten caught

This thread is about LilBrothel and its corruption. McConnell attended UofL and I suppose he is as horrified as the rest of us at what is going on there. In fact if I were MM I would disassociate myself with that school ASAP. I do hope that he is asked about it. Someone in the media should ask him. My guess is that he will give a very smart political reply that shows he is not pleased.

Aside from that...please do not further derail this thread into a political rant. Lets focus on the one enemy. They are corrupt and that is what we should laser focus upon.

 

[BankerCat12]

Even though UofL swept the games this weekend, they really could have used the income from a game today. Food for thought.

 

[BoxterS]

I know this is another huge black eye for the university and they would love nothing more than to get past this and move on, but if I were them I'd be firing Jurich and pursuing charges against him, Ramsey, and anyone else that was part of this massive corruption. I also don't see how the IRS doesn't weigh in on this and strip their tax exempt designation.

Black eye? They would love to get past it? Pardon me for laughing my ass off. One of my best friends is a UL diehard and not a word or fear or comment or anything. He's laughing all the way to the bank as UL keeps rolling along. Their baseball team just mopped the floor with ours for a ticket to their 4th college World Series. Their football team returns the heisman trophy winner, and their basketball team just picked up a 5-star recruit for the upcoming season. If they're experiencing black eyes then I'm terrified to see what life without black eyes would look like for them.

Could be interesting to see how much longer they can continue to subsidize their baseball team to the level they do if the foundation gravy train gets shut down.

Would be for sure.

I have to admit, the joke seems to be on us. As these programs continue to achieve (UNC/UL all the while being open with their corruptness, it begs the question of why do anything by the book at all? We discuss day after day, year after year, act after act of cheating and yet the rich get richer.

It's absolutely maddening to sit back and watch UL succeed in the big three sports while knowing for FACT how corrupt they are yet NOTHING happens. What's the use?

The audit just came out and the ncaa hasn't ruled yet on the hookers. Let's at least wait until nothing happens before we say nothing is gonna happen.

I read an article in the the CJ today written by Joseph Gerth who usually writes political editorials. In the article he referred to Jurich as "Tom the Enforcer" and referred to James Ramsey as "Jimmy Comb-Over." I have a family member who has a lake house on River Rough. If you want to see a land spread, you should see the mansion that Jurich owns at Rough River. I told my wife last year when the story first broke about Ramsey and the UL fund, that I would bet my last dollar that Jurich, Pitino and Petrino had their slimy hands dipping into the money pot. Now that Jurich has been exposed as the POS and con man that he is, I have no doubt that when the dust settles, the two sleezy head coaches names will appear as being in on this as well. They should shut down this urban ghetto college. How much has Lamar Jackson made while at UL??

I smell UL troll trying to pose as a UK fan. Look up this clowns post history.

I have no political bias, I think you need to perhaps apply that advice to yourself

Not difficult to smell that at all. Pretty obvious...oh I have a UofL friend who says..... classic distraction technique.

You could be right but I view it a bit differently. I am of the mind that Jurich and Ramsey are the two raping and pillaging without anyone telling them no. Ramsey was great at raising the money so no one questioned him. Jurich has been established as the "godfather" by the media. Untouchable. Until the Governor changed the dynamic in Frankfort....nothing would have ever changed.

Pitino and especially Petrino are just useful idiots for Jurich. I'm pretty sure that Petrino especially has few if any friends inside the dept and certainly around the campus. He strikes me as paranoid and probably believing he is somehow getting screwed at all times. He is useful to Jurich as long as he wins....period.

Pitino....there is more between Jurich and Pitino. Pitino gets as long a rope as he wants. Another marriage of convenience. Both playing the LilBro fan base for the fools they are. Jurich is the tie to the money pot. Pitino just has his hand out and takes what he's given.

 

[KMKAT]

The difference in corruption continuing and the corruption being accountable is that the administration has to be the judge for their actions. In Chapel Hill and Louisvile, there is no accountability, and the onus is on the NCAA to see any justice being served.
UL and UNC both figured it out for years how to get away with 'murder'. The AD is not going to clean up anything.
He is apparently untouchable as is the head football and basketball coach.

 

[loucatfan]

What is now needed is a forensic audit if ULAA . Until that gxappens we will not know all of the facts. In the name of good government and transparency we should all be screaming for one. The forensic audit of the foundation had numerous references to ULAA such as purchase of tickets, payment f premiums, funds to travel groups to ball games etc. there was s absolutely no way to know all that needs desperately to be revealed here unless a follow up audit of ULAA ls performed,

Also, the audit says they sold tickets for cash. To who? How many tickets? When ? What year? Total amount of cash received and unaccounted for. Who received it. Where was it banked . For what was it spent? Whores?

 

[jameslee32]

I picture Smith being the scapegoat so Ramsey and Jurich can walk.

BINGO!

 

[gjcollins79]

The bombshell will be when we find if Jurich bribed his way into the ACC....

That day is coming. It will happen whenever the brass in the ACC get tired of a third rate school running amok in their conference.
