Not really [U]this time[/U].  There are[URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2015/12/23/another-financial-investigation-adds-to-university-of-louisvilles-recent-turmoil/'] several scandals being investigated [/URL]in the academic side of the school, including allegations of financial improprieties.  Jurich seems to have the Athletic Department in cruise control, doing really good things that everyone connected with the school likes.  I wouldn't go out on a limb and say that nothing will eventually happen to Pitino over what took place in bball, but right now, everyone involved is so beyond totally preoccupied in getting the management of the academic side of the house cleaned up, that Pitino may retire before the UofL administration is in a position to even think about what they want/need to do w/him.

The VA governor is responsible for selecting the members of the Visitors (Trustees) of all the state schools and then they pick their presidents.  A lot of states work that way.  Fortunately, only so many board members are replaced at one time, but, based on what I've seen on their message board, the problems at UofL are so egregious right now, that everyone needed to be canned.  In Alabama, they have one board for the whole state system, and they do everything they can to protect Tuscaloosa at the expense of the others (like disbanding the Birmingham football team).
