fans, parents, students, players, etc etc that weren't involved in any cheating, but while reading an article by Katrina's lawyers saying this proves she was telling the truth (still wonder why she shouldn't go to jail for involving her under age daughters in this despicable episode, isn't prostitution illegal except in PARTS of Nevada) I was particularly struck by this quote from him:
"Today should mark the end of a long and ugly journey for the University," attorney Larry Wilder said in a statement. "In retrospect it seems all should accept the fact that Ms. Powell came forward with the information that she did and it was true ...The time has come for the University to hire a coach that can display the integrity, character and pride that is indicative of the people of the City, the graduates of the University and the players."
It just struck me that, for quite a while, Transfer U did hire the personnel that reflected their "win at all costs" philosophy-------and it all started with the head cheese, jurich.
It wasn't just Slick Rick, that should have been fired before when he used his money to send his old flame to prison, after the sordid tabletop romance witnessed by his friends, AFTER paying for her abortion, foisting her off on an assistant coach, probably promising her the moon, and then sending her to prison with his money no problem with the best lawyers (the main factor in justice today, loved Hilary saying her 32 year old client that she defended, that raped a 12 year old child AND pretty much ruined her life, not able to have children and the trauma, forever destroyed her faith in lie detectors------because he passed the test------but she did a hell of a job for him), and now involved in another basketball recruiting scandal. Foolish woman, she could have just had the child that was done away with and received a fortune for at least 18 years, probably 21, while living a life of luxury, how much child support could he afford, starting with the $55,000,000 contract he received from Boston shortly after telling UK fans he wasn't going anywhere. But then, you do have to admire the nerve of the man, suing his old flame (University) for the ridiculous buyout he and jurich negotiated, probably behind closed doors, $45,000,000, no one in the world should be entitled to that much for BEING FIRED, and yes, while I love the job Stoops is doing digging us out of the hole a decade of criminal neglect put us in someone with good principles should turn that money down if he doesn't do the job. But then it is a different world today, fat chance, probably won't end up with over about thirty or forty million from UK the way it is, unless he does leave or does take us to SEC east titles, at the least. Maybe another fat chance. Or takes a better job, plenty out there, and coaches do seem to be hired guns that leave at the mention of a few million more------or in A&M's case, tens of millions more.
Then there is BP, that should have gone to jail in Arkansas for misuse of public funds (and probably the same at Transfer U, what with hiring his son with NO experience and TWO son in laws, but I guess he knew the AD couldn't turn him down after jurich threw almost a million dollar job to his own son) but instead had jurich welcome him back, with a very questionable $24,500,000 contract when no one was bidding for his services. With an even more questionable $500,000 bonus ($50,000 the normal bonus for a minimum APR) for what almost had to be a bogus (and truly unbelievable, without cutting a lot of corners) APR put together by a bunch of "transfers" and JC qualifiers that couldn't qualify out of high school.
But the worst hire from a moral standpoint (except for maybe jurich himself) was hiring hurtt, when it is well documented how he won the NROTY at the U, with the jailbird in prison that conned investors out of $930,000,000 financing the yacht trips, renting the whole floor of a hotel and staffing it with paid prostitutes, and paying for an abortion for one of them (without telling the proud father he lost a child), etc etc, not much doubt in my mind that jurich AND Strong, recruiting the same players in the same state, knew exactly who they were hiring. Proven to some extent by Strong turning down a job he was MUCH more suited for at Thug U (they cheat too) when even they couldn't stomach hurtt, (or maybe the SEC wouldn't allow it, did Jones have any need for hurtt in Knoxville?). And jurich proven by refusing to let hurtt go when the incompetent NCAA (that didn't investigate hurtt bringing in over half a class from Florida, with all FIVE of the four stars from Miami, because they screwed up the U investigation so badly they had to let BOTH U's off the hook) expected him to with their verdidt. Jurich had no problem with money, with his $5,000,000 income (officially) AND all of Transfer U's money to spend-----and he did a good job of that also, the $45,000,000 unbelievable. And I will bet he never had to use a check (and was too smart) for a $5,000 "loan" to keep hurtt's power on (LOL), he had plenty of $100 bills for handshakes.
The irony of this is that the NCAA is probably doing some of this punishment to basketball because they are so incompetent they couldn't punish them in football. Curci claimed they did that to UK football in order to protect the sacred cow.
Any way, I actually do feel sorry for SOME Transfer U fans-------not a lot of them that post on sports forums though. I have always felt sorry for the poor stiff's that didn't follow sports, that just wanted the education they paid a little more for because of athletics.
I don't know much about their other coaches, but since jurich hired them all------ Well, maybe there are a few worthy of guiding young impressionable athletes, but you have to wonder. This quote from his article: "The time has come for the University to hire a coach that can display the integrity, character and pride" is way past due-------at least jurich has been fired, although he probably won't leave with out even more millions, so maybe they will have chance to do that now. JMO, but I think they have failed miserably in the money sports, so far.
But then if they do hire that coach he may not last much longer than Krag did.
Slow times on here, lol.
