Papa John resigns from UL Athletics Board
- Thread starter Kattopper
- Start date
Is there a bigger train wreck in America than UofL athletics right now?
No way in hell they forced Papa John out
Jurich is untouchable in this city. He probably has dirt on everybody with any power in the city. Can't wait for his downfall.
The 30-for-30 on the UL Athletic Department's shenanigans/downfall will be epic.
I am sure that goes both ways though. I'd be like fine, you do what you gotta do and so will I.
I'm sure the media was given the orders to start taking PJ out publicly to help Jurich out.
Sullivan, Bozich, Crawford, etc. are petrified of Jurich
Hmmm. So, this is how I look at this. Jurich naturally has relationships with the "money movers". First thing he did when he got to town was work on cultivating those relationships. It is, in fact, what gives him power - that, and the rise of UofL athletics under his watch, which gives him credibility. (I'm talking won/loss records, championships, growth of programs, raising of athletics budget - which apparently makes forgivable or irrelevant the scandals and rogue behavior.) There is no pro team here, as far as athletics - far as entertainment, period - in this town, it's UofL. So the "money movers" naturally want to be associated with it. You want to know how Jurich controls media? It's because of his relationship with money guys/advertisers, which is how media make money. You don't like the tone of stories WHAS is running? You don't complain to WHAS directly, you call the guys who advertise on WHAS and get them to complain.
Papa John, on the other hand, has only incidental relations with other money guys. Maybe they are neighbors, maybe they golf at the same place, whatever. It's coincidental. They know each other, and that's about it. He's known to be kinda quirky and difficult, to be honest.
So between those two, if you're counting votes among money guys whose votes count, it's no contest.
If that happens one of these days it will indeed be epic,I'm not sure it would fit into one episode and it would shake the foundation of college sports if all the truth were to be told.I fear it will never like the UNC story and never see the light of day.
I think this only the beginning. PJ knows there's a lot of negative information in the back room that hasn't been publicly announced and is on its way. This move, I believe, is to distance himself from UL before the implosion of UL athletics.
You can like PJ or not, but the guy is smart. I could easily see this being the case.
I see Billy Reed is still an idiot and UL butt kisser. I am so glad he is not associated with UK and is our enemy.
He wasnt forced out..He actually sees what is going on in the cesspool.
You knew the smear campaign was coming. So did Bill Lamb and his ridiculous point of view.
You can't force out your largest premiere donor. This is certainly going to raise the eyebrows of UPS, YUM, and any other current donors and sponsors. It'll have other potential sponsors hesitant as well.
Hoops facing new sanctions, facilities of both hoops and football under the eyes of watchdogs. Someone knows something and PJ appears to have the info that something is about to unfold.
haha, true to form, the birdbrains are stoning papa john and praising tneck over on the scout board:

I wonder how long Papa John's Stadium remains...Papa John's Stadium.
That was before they got access to all that F-you, taxpayers' money from the Yum contract...
Yep...he gives U of L a colonoscopy with his head on a daily basis...
It'll have to be a week long mini series to cover all that dirt
Gonna lose another 48 million next year, on top of losing 47 million this year. Heck, the donations are down 39 million this year alone, according to another article. Wonder how many fans buy tickets, when the price doubles.
Papa may have carefully planned this. Maybe he "wants" his name off the stadium. Doesn't want company name to have anything to do with ul athletics

this is a great opportunity for Barnhart to talk with John and expand his football program
My guess is that he was forced off the Athletics Board...because everyone on that board is a Jurich sycophant.
