Ive been saying this, and just my opinion, but. Nike wanted Rick out once he started calling Nike out for sending kids from certain AAU programs to Nike schools. Never forget when Rick was sitting in the same room with Mike Krzyzewski and Roy Williams and flat out said on a live ESPN interview that Nike was pulling this crap. Coach K and Roy went dead silent but I was pretty much cheering Rick on through the tv. I honestly believe that was when Nike decided to do everything within their power to get him out. Made me wonder, too, how much money Nike gives to ESPN because of the inordinate amount of negative press they began to sling our way. And, of course, whatever Nike and ESPN want the NCAA is gonna deliver.
I have said all along UofL was set up (for more than one instance). It has the stink of UK and Nike all over it. Add to that the Governor assigned people with Big Blue interests to our Board of Directors at the time this was going down. Compared to what other schools were and still are doing, we did get a royal screw job (and no one enjoyed it) except our enemies.
