February 22, 201610 yr This isn't a scandal. This is two consenting adults letting their moral compasses drop. As terrible as it is for the family members involved, it really isn't newsworthy besides the fact that it is a big name college coach. This is tabloid scandal, not "you guys are going on probation" type stuff. While I agree with you and certainly have no problem with anything they did as consenting adults, it becomes a scandal when it turns into national news and yet another embarrassment for the university. I agree with you...tabloid fodder and another black eye for UL, but nothing that is going to result in legal action or anything along those lines.
February 22, 201610 yr Looks like they were having threesomes. So I guess a nickname for his offensive philosophy could be...3somes and a cloud of dust?

I agree with you...tabloid fodder and another black eye for UL, but nothing that is going to result in legal action or anything along those lines. Considering what Ramsey/Jurich have dealt with concerning Petrino and Pitino, and the blind eye they have cast toward their indiscretions, this issue doesn't even cause them notice. None.
February 22, 201610 yr I thought the football program stooped too a new low with Hurtt but he ended up being less controversial than Strong. Throw in Petrino and you've got some shady dudes involved in that football program. And for those of you that thought they went from awful to nationally ranked with choir boys, shame on you.
February 22, 201610 yr And for those of you that thought they went from awful to nationally ranked with choir boys, shame on you. And at UK they are trafficking drugs and still suck. :lol2:
February 22, 201610 yr And at UK they are trafficking drugs and still suck. :lol2: Yep, no one is disputing that!
February 22, 201610 yr It's a bit embarrassing, but not even close to a scandal. Nothing more than click bait headline.
February 22, 201610 yr Legal analysis of Texas coach Charlie Strong's link to Louisville divorce case | SI.com Any allegation of “immoral” conduct could also eventually impact Strong’s employment at Texas. SI.com has obtained and reviewed Strong’s contract with Texas, which was signed in January 2014 and calls to pay the 55-year-old coach a base of approximately $26 million over five years. Like most employment contracts of significant value, Strong’s deal contains language that enables Texas to exit or suspend payment if it concludes that he acted in disfavored ways. For instance, one contractual clause expresses that if Strong engages in “any fraud or dishonesty” while performing his job duties, the school could suspend him with or without pay, or even fire him “for cause”—which means Texas would be relieved of the obligation to pay Strong on the remainder of his deal. Texas could impose the same outcome if it finds that Strong engaged in conduct “unbecoming to a head coach” or acted in a way that “reasonably brings into question the integrity” of Strong. To be sure, if Texas tried such a move, Strong’s attorneys would likely take the school to court and argue the school has misapplied these provisions. Still, the language in Strong’s contract is a reminder that even an out-of-state divorce case involving two other people might present problems for him.
February 22, 201610 yr ^Other than the obvious issues with his own marriage, this could be exactly what those that want him out at Texas need to get that ball rolling. Not good for ole Chuck.
February 22, 201610 yr You could probably find 100 things a year that a head coaches does that falls under “any fraud or dishonesty” .
February 22, 201610 yr And at UK they are trafficking drugs and still suck. :lol2: He was coming from Louisville when he was stopped. Want to guess where he'd been? Check his twitter..........:popcorn:
February 22, 201610 yr He was coming from Louisville when he was stopped. Want to guess where he'd been? Check his twitter..........:popcorn: Well, seeing as he is from Louisville, that's not really shocking. :lol2:
February 22, 201610 yr He was coming from Louisville when he was stopped. Want to guess where he'd been? Check his twitter..........:popcorn: It's awful easy for UK fans to spout moral superiority when their program has nothing else going for it. Anyone care to wager on the chances that they would overlook something like this in their own program if they could every build a winner?
February 22, 201610 yr It is a bad deal for the innocent people involved. Strong's wife and kids and the children of Mr. & Mrs. Blue. As for this being public I can assure you Mr. Blue isn't someone Charlie wants to mess with. It obvious that Mr. Blue wants to take down Charlie for wrecking his family. I guess that is the price Charlie will pay for his role in this. This could blow up for Charlie.
