Maybe not 40 million but they'll settle for some amount more than zero. That's why they let it be known Rick passed the polygraph.

As for Tom Jurich he'll be back on the job soon. Tom has too many friends with big checkbooks and they have zero reason to fire him. Tom was placed on leave for refusing to fire Rick. Tom was vindicated today when Rick and his attorney revealed that Rick passed a polygraph. How can Tom be fired for refusing to fire someone for not doing something?

FWIW, polygraph tests are not 100% accurate, more like 80%, they can and often are 'beaten' so passing one doesn't prove anything.

Still, i agree there will be a battle for that contract money, and RP will get something, not the whole $40m but a nice chunk of it.

As for TJ though, I think he is gone. Too many massive scandals on his watch, and they have happened on his watch.

Exactly...many Louisville fans don't agree with me but no way he survives this...I see this as a chance for a reset...clean up our renegade image...and that is the National image Louisville has...it is what it is unfortunately

That image was brought on by Rick & he's now gone. I understand the argument for wanting Tom gone as well & was once leaning that way as well but now I think that it would be a mistake to do it at this time. The university doesn't have any leadership, or at least any that anyone trusts, & we have some major issues to take care of. First is the impending NCAA appeals & Ricks termination. Another thing that has to be considered is the financial impact of the NCAA sanctions & Ricks payout, whatever that ends up being. I'm not sure if the university will even be able to afford to fire Tom at this point, they have no cause. Best thing to do is retain him & implement the newly approved restrictions on his position. If he doesn't like the new restrictions then he can find employment elsewhere or allow him to retire early.
