Ramsey, Pitino, Petrino, Jurich - University of "Sleaze" Louisville

[catmanblu]

What an amazing run for the University of Louisville:
Ramsey - paid 2.5 times more than any school in ACC (Duke, Virginia etc)
- dressed as Mexican that created negative national media attention
- has professors under FBI investigation
- University of Louisville Foundation - Investigation????????
Pitino - - NCAA violations at Hawaii reported by New York Times
- was considered an "icon" at UK but takes job with their rival UL after being run out of Boston
- had sex with a women in a restaurant in Louisville receiving National Media Attention off the chart
- too many side stories on the above to print here - others can post some of these
- Chris Jones UL player receives National Media Attention for his alleged rape case
- UL basketball under NCAA investigation for a "sex scandal" also receiving National Media Atten.
- Being a sore loser, flipping the bird at fans as leaving the game which he has lost to UK 8 of 9
games. Now receiving National Media Attention for his flip and then saying he was gesturing UL #1
Petrino - Wow, where to begin, Cover Sports Illustrated "Lather, Rinse, Repeat"
So much to say dont have time -
Jurich For allowing the above and not cleaning house. Ramsey should resign for being the head of this "U of L "Sleaze". I can't understand how anyone could wear a UL shirt.

Ramsey actually makes another 2.1 million from the UofL foundation, a separate 501c3 from UofL. This does not include the nucleus or other foundations.

I was referring to the mulitplication of his compensation in ratio to the presidents of the ACC.

I'm agreeing. I'm saying it's worse than you stated.

That's always been the problem with louisville, no class and failure to do anything about issues when they have them and now it is catching up with them in, the coaches they hire to some of the athletes they bring in. Scandals involving the coaches and players who couldn't follow rules at other institutions, doing these things have a price, and now the whole atmosphere at second chance U is going to pot, GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have only touched on the sports side of the sleaze. Uof L has had many professors or other high officials caught in financial crimes over the last few years and currently the FBI has another investigation underway which looks like it will also wind up in more convictions. The entire Board of Trustees should be replaced immediately, but it will likely never happen because our last Governor refused to do it because of politics and out current Governor is a good ole boy that admires anybody (or any institution) that can make big bucks - and it doesn't really matter how they do it.

Please reread under Ramsey. I know it's a long note!
