First...not all the bid package pricing for the Stadium have been received....or placed under contract so he is playing word games. Its been over budget since the first packages were placed under contract....and a couple of those because of pricing from only one bidder...(insider deals and LilBro takes care of their friends) but I digress....The AD has not attended athletics board meetings....his job....and I would suppose that is why the previous President gave ole Tom a $6-Mil bonus in secret. Maybe the new guy has a bit of integrity and is tired of Jurich running the entire University like its his personal property.

University of Louisville interim president Greg Postel told trustees on Wednesday that he will apply increased attention and oversight to the UofL Athletic Association in the coming months, though he maintained he was not aware of any dire “fix” needed within that athletics department, as trustee and Papa John’s CEO John Schnatter declared two weeks ago.
This was the first UofL board of trustees meeting since Schnatter stated that leadership within the athletics department was “invisible” to university leadership, and he was scared that “until you fix athletics, you cannot fix this university.” Schnatter has faced a heap of criticism since that time for declining to provide specifics about what scared him so, and once again refrained from doing so after the meeting when he sidestepped reporters after the meeting.
Though Schnatter in the last trustees meeting claimed that this expansion project at the football stadium was over budget, Postel again emphasized that “at this point, this project is on budget and on time… As of today we’re in good shape and we intend to keep it that way, so that this remains a budget-neutral activity.” Postel added that he asked UofL Athletic Director Tom Jurich to attend future trustees meetings, to which Jurich gave “an enthusiastic ‘yes.'”
