Louisville and Integrity

[BrookhavenCuse]

Just typing Louisville and Integrity makes me question my own sanity. The #1 talking point at the introductory press conference for Kenny Payne is integrity. Does the interim administration at UofL really think saying or using the word integrity means all of sudden the litany of past transgressions are wiped off the map?

Kenny Payne talked about PayCal encouraging him to take the job over the past few days, like PayCal knows a ton about integrity LOL.

- - - - - -
Adidas and Nike both brought into the fray by the new Cardinal head coach, why even go there when the buzzword of the day is “integrity”, can’t wait a few days to drink from the trough?

actually I'm pretty sure WWW saw the light and taught Kenny all about integrity

 

[bballbeadle]

I hope Louisville has found the answer, just as I hope we will find the answer when the time comes. I like Louisville.

 

[pearl31]

I like Louisville.

That's too bad.

 

[UpstateSM]

Maybe we should get back to not having any “integrity” and we won’t suck anymore. Who cares

 

[tbonezone]

why is everybody so cool with LOUISVILLE losing a national title and a couple final fours for rules violations and then in the next breath say BOEHEIM should get all his wins back ? rules are rules.

There were quite a few “tells” in that presser.

1. He coached with Calipari and Cal encouraged him to take the job.
2. He thanked World Wide Wes.
3. He mentioned needing everyone’s “support”.
4. Mentioned NIL.
5. Said he has a relationship with both Nike and Adidas and that it’s the best of both worlds.

Yep. They are gonna go all in to pay their way to win.

It’s called wanting to win… and doing what’s it takes to win. We are so used to mediocrity around here. That needs to change,

“Integrity” in college basketball recruiting is a very low bar

Just have to say the words that you have it. The rest doesn't matter.

Kids at mediocre Atlantic 10 schools get paid the holier than thou stuff about college basketball recruiting is hilarious

That's too bad.

I am loyal to the teams of family and friends. I have Louisville cousins, I have degrees from Wisconsin and UNC, my husband has them from Duke, I have many Duke and Carolina friends, family in Knoxville. I hate it when Syracuse plays any of those teams.

The Ville has had “issues.” But so has Syracuse. It’s more fun for me to root for other teams, especially when SU is out of the picture.

We have a 2X “convict” as HC. 3 strikes and “whammy” by the NCAA.

Most people would lie about their Louisville cousins, or deny the connection vociferously. Not you. I am very impressed.

They are the children of my step-mother-in-law’s sister-in-law. So they’re not really cousins. That’s my secret!

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

I like Louisville. Fun place and school.

If he feels the need to play scared he should retire.

The NCAA is a joke and has been for 50+ years. The elite schools have cheated and compromised their integrity for years. Schools like UNC, UCLA under Wooden, Kentucky, the SEC, Big 10, Texas.
They let all the schools in the FBI probe skate for years.
They need to give everyone back their wins and close up shop.

The big question for UL will be ... how can we re-establish the bag without getting caught.

Might be direct orders from his employer
