Postel was told to fire Pitino after the sex scandal which he didn't have nerve to do. Now he says they have 0 tolerance for unethical behavior and rules violations. Very weak man used like a pawn.

I think you have that wrong, the rumor was Postel told Jurich to fire Pitino and Jurich refused.

I think you're confused. They have to wait 10 days to fire him regardless of what he did. And firing him doesn't mean they don't have to pay him. His contract, IIRC, pays unless he is directly implicated in the violations.
“Sweet they put Sam Rectors name in front of me, maybe I can do a quick switcheroo.”Caption this one
Postel handled it the way he should have. Pitino has a contract that requires 10 days notice if UofL plans to fire him for just cause. A stupid contract but Postel had no choice but to do it this way or UofL would have had to pay Pitino over 40 million severance.
Pretty sure Ramsey was the president when the sex scandal went down so Postel wasn't in charge of that decision. Apparently Postel wanted to fire Rick as soon as he was appointed interim president but Jurich wouldn't back him up on it and neither would the corrupt board members.
Postel wanted to fire Pitino and tried to have Jurich do it twice. Being new to the position he didn't think he could push it but the moment this dropped he made it happen, and canned Jurich in the process. Hardly weak. Kudos to him for doing the right thing and starting to clean up the swamp.
Well apparently it must be a board decision, and even with Jurich’s recommendation the board could have still refused... not that that occurred.
Well Postel wasn't in charge then so that doesn't work either. And no way Ramsey said to fire anybody.
I think that is what he is in the process of doing. Gotta dot the I's and cross the T's because millions are at stake. The amount of money at stake is a perfect example of why we are seeing the corruption we are in college athletics.
Maybe the article I read today was wrong but it said a BOD member, maybe Grimes?, told Postel to fire Pitino after the sex scandal. Lot of time since then, much more than 10 days. Why would a BOD member tell him to do it if it wasn't the smart thing to do?
I'm talking about back when the stripper gate happened and Jurich refused to fire Pitino.
Gotcha. According to Terry Meiners, Jurich refused to fire Pitino even after this latest scandal with the FBI. Unbelievable!!!!
So Postel goes thru the chain of command and tells Jurich to fire him, and he won't. I think Jurichs days were numbered and this was the only choice.
Guys there is A lot more to come out about the FOUNDATION, and don't think Jurich isn't out of the woods here. There are millions 'missing' and there still could be charges filed here. MAYBE UL and Jurich are already under investigation???
You gotta have big ones to take that challenge!! So Postel finally stood up to the self-righteous VP / AD and down comes the banner, the $$ flow, the kids' careers, and finally the top-shelf denier!
Pay the NCAA back, and Emmert can get another raise for stupidity.
Should Rick be facing a jail term also? He's stolen quite a bit here.
That is going to be the easy part of this. No way he can wiggle out of this one, he is in quicksand that is now over his head. Toast
