Is Louisville the most trashy/thug athletic department in the NCAA?

Their head football coach left Louisville right after signing a huge contract extension, then left the Falcons midseason without even telling his players, then was fired at Arkansas for lying about a sex scandal and motorcycle crash, then Louisville hires him back after 1 season at WKU.

The head basketball coach was implicated in a sex scandal where he screwed a woman in a restaurant and later paid her 3 grand to have an abortion.

Now, it seems like Louisville has built a recruiting pipeline for any football player kicked out of any major university, no matter the reason. I can't think of any university in America with worse role models in high profile athletic positions. There is no way I would want a son of mine playing in an environment like that during his most formidable years.

Maybe, but it appears Tom Jurich is more concerned about winning than what others think about him or his program.

Personally, I like the win-at-all-costs-zero-fricks-given mentality. To each his own tho

Personally, I love the Louisville/Auburn type athletic departments.

Eventually it's going to come back to bite them in the arse. But some people love that shite. I'm probably a little biased when I say I can't wait for it to all come crashing down.

This has been happening for years. It's not new.

Mike Dyer, Zeke Pike, Josh Harvey-Clemons, JaQuay Williams and Shaq Wiggins - with the possibility of landing Tray Matthews now... Louisville, IMO, is Second Chance U right now.

They also love getting players from Auburn and Georgia, it seems.

Until Auburn starts naming all of their on campus and off campus facilities after fast food corporations, they're not even close.

And have a basketball coach and football coach that were each caught cheating on their wives in hilarious ways.

Hell. Damn. Right.

And just wait. The best is still to come. Tommy Turtleneck and others may find themselves in the slammer once the Feds unravel the YUM Center fiasco.

Yes.

I've hated them for over 20 years so this is old news to me.

Says the school who hired one of the most slimiest and cheatingest coaches around. Then again, we are talking about one of the most corrupt schools of all time so this is no surprise.

UK fans talking trash about another schools lack of class is one of the more hypocritical things I have ever witnessed in sports.

Watch out. He might call you a UK fan. We're clearly the only ones who see this.
