Louisville and the ACC

[AlaskaSU]

Will the ACC drop them? Once they are sanctioned their basketball program will be dust. Is this too much bad PR for the ACC when combined with UNC, Miami and us. Football is more important so they are probably safe but I'd guess that expulsion will be considered. It would be a stern warning from the league to the teams to clean up their act.

I don't think so because Louisville knows where everyone else has buried their skeletons. I think the ACC swallows hard and keeps their fingers crossed that UNC and Duke don't get linked to the FBI probe. NCAA they can handle, FBI not so much and cutting ties with people who know the truth could come back to bite them.

What would they call Donovan for? To ask if he thinks they can get the 2 seed in the west?

Fear of Louisville retribution is a non-factor. The FBI is threatening the perps with 80 year jail terms. FBI initiated flipping will take place regardless of what the ACC or NCAA does.

Once the Louisville basketball team is descimated the ACC could consider taking on a more profitable alternative team in lieu of Lousiville. Not saying it will happen but i would not be surprised if it is considered.

Football drives the bus.
Hoops is just a nice side hustle.

Llvll still has a marquee football program. They ain't going anywhere.

Maybe that explains why NC State players leave the program early. Maybe the stipend was not being doled out.

I wonder what the football players get...

A LOT less than $EC football players get...

Gottfried was keeping it all for himself

 

[Alsacs]

No.

They will get hammered for basketball but their football program was why they got in,

Their hoops will be damaged a lot but they will come back.

Can't be as much as basketball players because there are so many to be bribed.

Re: Football, Petrino is a walking violation waiting to happen.

 

[JimBoston]

If Louisville is going to clean up their athletic department, Petrino has to go as well. Petrino's protector was Jurich and now he is gone. I can't imagine that a new President (Louisville is looking for a President right now) and a new AD will want to keep Petrino around.

Gee Louisville has a pretty darn good quarterback.

Wonder how they got him?

 

[Alsacs]

Petrino thus far has been clean during his second stint as UL coach.

He could look to jump to Ole Miss or LSU though if they came calling.

Interesting re; NC State. I know they haven't been mentioned but prior to NC State and UNCW, Keats was Pitino's assistant at L'Ville. I hope this occurred after his tenure there.

 

[UnknownOrange]

Let's not act like Football is the be all end all. Louisville was the highest profitable basketball program. The ACC (like all conferences) values money

 

[NKR1978]

lol no.
