Julie's Old Boss Tom Jurich Attacked by Wetzel Over WakeyLeaks

[Knight Shift]

Wetzel and Forde are both Yahoo writers. Forde is a Louisville lap dog, and he frequently describes Rutgers as a "dumpster fire." F him. Wonder why he did not write a story on this?
Would Tom Jurich survive if he was Rutgers AD and this stuff happened?

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/the-di...ouisville-on-tom-jurichs-watch-230119357.html

Wake revealed that broadcaster Tommy Elrod had been canned for sharing secrets. When Elrod was on the Wake staff, he was co-coordinator of the passing game with a guy named Lonnie Galloway, who, not coincidentally, is now an assistant at … Louisville.

And so now we get this gem from Jurich, Louisville’s long-time boss of athletics:

“Our offensive coordinator Lonnie Galloway and Tommy Elrod have known each other since 2007. Lonnie received a call from Elrod during the week of the Wake Forest game, and some information was shared with him that week.

“Among the communication were a few plays that were sent and then shared with our defensive staff. None of the special plays were run during the course of the game. Our defense regularly prepares for similar formations every week in their normal game plan.

“Any other information that may have been discussed was nothing that our staff had not already seen while studying Wake Forest in their preparations for the game and the material was not given any further attention. I’m disappointed that this issue has brought undue attention to our football staff as we prepare for our upcoming bowl game.”

Translated to English:

Sure, sure, we attempted to cheat but we didn’t actually cheat because of circumstance. Plus, we already knew some of the secret information, so, trust us, it wouldn’t have mattered at all. Oh, and while we were completely wrong the last time we discussed this, you can totally trust what we are saying now. It’s the truth. Scout’s Honor. Now leave us alone because people asking us about this is unfair to us.

Wow. That guy didn't pull any punches in that article.

This years Louisville vs Wake Forest game was especially weird. Louisville opened as 35 point favorites at home.

It was 12-10 Wake Forest at the start of the 4th quarter before Louisville scores 34 unanswered.

Did Louisville get desperate and decide to look at the stolen Wake plays in the fourth quarter?

The NCAA is going to investigate and then come down hard on Western Carolina.

Jurich's statement seems like it can also be the exact kind of statement you'd give if you demanded Galloway tell you everything immediately and that's the story he gives you.

Imagine if there is a Las Vegas tie-in to this story. I doubt there is, but imagine it.

 

[CornerTavern]

If you're not cheating you're not trying, as they say

Wetzel inferred the WF radio guy may have done it for Vegas reasons.

The ACC is full of cheats. Makes the SEC look like choir boys.

So, will this just blow over or turn into a scandal?
Imagine if this involved Rutgers?

Anybody expecting much to be done about this must not have been paying attention the past 3 decades with U NC creating phony classes for its FB and BB players and having profs do their papers or no work at all. AND the current ACC commissioner was the AD at the time of a lot of it. So far, no penalty whatsoever.

Also just recently L'ville had a BB asst pay strippers and prostitutes thousands of dollars for parties in player dorms for recruiting weekends.
They got caught and zero consequences.

This incident is sooo small, as to be laughable compared to all the other crap.

And Wetzel's story references Pitino banging someone in a restaurant and going to Cincinnati for an abortion. No consequences.

UNC perhaps has a stronger point than Louisville. Academic cheating as part of University wide cheating scandal is not in the NCAA's wheelhouse (cough, cough). But Louisville's alleged cheating by receiving information from another team seems to be right in the NCAA's wheelhouse, no?

And wasn't the strippers/prostitutes thing on par with SMU's behavior before they got the death penalty?

Wetzel is a bit of an ethics weenie, and the comments in the story are pretty harsh on him. But at what point do a bunch of small potatoes amount to something in terms of culpability and ownership by Louisville's AD? Never, as long a your teams are winners, I guess. It is just hilarious to me how Rutgers got lambasted last year for some player arrests and Flood's attempt to influence a grade. Losing team, loser coach, it's a huge scandal. Thankfully, it led to his firing.

ACC might be worse than the SEC, or the SEC is a lot better at keeping everything hush hush.

 

[cicero grimes]

It's funny. Yesterday afternoon Petrino denies everything, yesterday evening Jurich admits they all knew. Win at all costs. Since the NCAA will probably not punish UL they will probably blame Wake and give them the death penalty.

And NJ.com can blame Dave Cohen, the guy they put through the wringer over the faux bullying scandal. He's the DL coach at Wake Forest. In a strange way, it worked out well for him-he escaped Flood' staff before the hammer dropped on Flood. Funny how things can work out.

Then why did ND get in trouble by the NCAA and vacate wins for players that were internally disciplined and kicked off the team at the time?

Will you guys quit being sore losers?? Really, just because our institution is committed to sustained failurenon the field doesn't mean other institutions should be. Some schools like to win. Louisville has done a lot of winning. All the while earning the same type of money RU was getting through the Big East/AAC. They're not whining 'bout not getting a full share before being able to compete. They have basketball titles. They have a Heisman. They have big FB wins. They're too busy basking in the glow of their success to listen to Rutgers fans whining about cheating.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

All the while earning the same type of money RU was getting through the Big East/AAC.

That is 100% not true.

In 2011-2012:

UofL Sports earned $3,356,713 last year and was more profitable than schools like the University of Kentucky and Florida State.

The school will enter the ACC as the conference's top grossing basketball program. It made $24,624,632 in the 2012-2013 season. That's $10 million more than the famed University of North Carolina, which grossed $14,518,957.

http://www.wave3.com/story/20282267/uofl-athletics-among-most-expensive-profitable-in-nation

Meanwhile during that same time at Rutgers:

The report, obtained in response to an open-records request from USA TODAY Sports and Indiana University's National Sports Journalism Center, shows that the Rutgers athletics department received nearly $47 million in subsidies from the university's allocations fund to make up for a shortfall in the approximately $79 million athletics budget during the 2012-13 season. It's an increase of 67.9% from the $27.9 million subsidy the athletics department received in 2012.

Vacated wins is basically a slap on the wrist. Nobody cares. The only penalties that matter are loss of schollies and post season bans, especially post season bans. . Anything else is easily dealt with.

RU fans should stop whining and buy a pizza:

No, that's money they made. Not their share of conference earnings. Tom Jurich is a rockstar.

Well, now we know who taught Julie Herman how to spin a story.
