Louisville athletics lost money/subsidized

There was an article today in the Louisville paper that Jurich's annual salary is higher than the budgets for 4 university departments (biology for example).

Ad had taxes paid by university, two golf club memberships, 16 box seats for the Kentucky derby and 8 football and basketball tickets for life, and the lives of his wife and children in addition to salary.
Louisville- like certain other schools - is a quasi professional athletic program using the title of “university”.
They are dirty in hoops and football and have been for a long time.
Amazing that someone like “Papa John” wants to continue to invest in them and have his business’s name associated with them.

He was only god to a few absolute morons that were bought into the UL BS hook, line, and sinker. UL's problems, ethically and institutionally, were pretty evident for anyone willing to look past the press release headlines. They sold out their school to try and build their university brand through athletics. There are no shortcuts to building real institutional quality and reputation. You can't have a lower reputation than UL does right now in higher education, and it is well deserved. Hopefully they'll clean out the rot unlike what other schools have been unwilling to do. Their interim president Postel seems to be setting the right tone, but the school has been an absolute mess.
And Pitt, the institution, continues to subsidize athletics to a higher level than Louisville despite having less varsity sports.

Pederson's total compensation, in comparison, was less than 1/5th of that at its peak. The base wasn't in the top 30 of ADs.
It is on probation. The school is a mess, all over the place, not just athletics.

Wow! All of the above are for most people classified as taxable compensation.
This is going to be more interesting than HBO's Game of Thrones?
Here is a more up to date article. The university anticipates coming off of academic probation in December.

Good to hear from you, DT. Yes, we are well. I enjoy following the exploits of your family on here. Take care.
Duke. Wake. NC. Virginia. Virginia Tech Georgia Tech Miami Pitt Syracuse Boston college. All good schools. Clemson maybe. Fla state and Louisville do not mess
Why? I guess you could argue the stripper scandal could be detrimental, but nothing else is or would be. Plus, I'd guess less than 1% would remember that and 75%+ of those wouldn't have it affect their purchasing, at all.
