We could've sacrificed our entire academic model in favor of sleazy athletic directors, coaches, and backroom deals. We could have a palace of a basketball arena, a shiny new football stadium, and one of the most competitive Power5 conferences to house it all. And we could survive multiple scandles, including a federal investigation taking place on campus, to hire one of the best young coaches in the country.
But if the cost of all that is a university with an incompetent administration, embaressed student body, and potentially bankrupted city, I'm at least somewhat comfortable being stuck in our current predicament.
Our city isn't bankrupt? Great news!!! Let City Council know they can build a new police station, replace the Western Hills Viaduct, revamp PNC Bank Arena...
I was referring to the City of Louisville's deal with the University for the Yum! center. It won't happen, but if that program received the death penalty the city could be in some serious financial trouble (See: https://www.bizjournals.com/louisville/n...round.html )
We can't even figure out how to build a soccer stadium for a sure-fire MLS bid. Imagine what would happen to this city if our taxes were diverted to cover for Mick Cronin's sleaziness. Imagine the outcry on this board alone.
