March 26, 20188 yr While the basketball situation was not the best. He has walked into a great situation with having a top 5 girls basketball team in the country, and a top 5 baseball program. Those coaches aren't going anywhere, so right now he is sitting pretty. Even with Mack that is a situation that has fell into his lap basically, because Mack to Louisville when ever Pitino left has been talked about for years. So it's going to be hard to tell exactly how good of an athletic director he is, because Jurich set the program up pretty nicely for him.
March 26, 20188 yr According to some sports talk radio hosts in Louisville, over the years he has donated $3-400k to the University of Louisville. That probably indicates his allegiance to the U of L, despite his playing collegiate baseball at UK.
March 27, 20188 yr So it's safe to say he's won over the naysayers that were out in force when he was announced as the Interim AD?

Interesting, I would think that could be problematic for UofL with compliance if he was a former donor.
March 27, 20188 yr Author Interesting, I would think that could be problematic for UofL with compliance if he was a former donor. Why?
March 27, 20188 yr Why? Well when donors start participating in athletic department matters its normally not a good thing for said school.
March 27, 20188 yr Author Well when donors start participating in athletic department matters its normally not a good thing for said school. Example? And how that example relates to Tyra?
March 27, 20188 yr Example? And how that example relates to Tyra? Person donates money to university. Person then gets hired to University job. #Conflict .
March 27, 20188 yr Author Person donates money to university. Person then gets hired to University job. #Conflict . So anybody that has ever donated money to a university can’t ever work for the same university? :lol2:
March 27, 20188 yr Person donates money to university. Person then gets hired to University job. #Conflict . I don’t see the conflict. Is the idea that it looks like he somehow bought his job?
March 27, 20188 yr I would guess most hires by the majority of not for profits are people who have donated to that not for profit. I regularly donated to Trinity before being hired years ago. Edited March 27, 20188 yr by Bert Add more content
March 27, 20188 yr Author I don’t see the conflict. Is the idea that it looks like he somehow bought his job? Because there isn't a conflict.
