In a school year when scandal and turmoil within University of Louisville athletics has been our state's predominant sports story, the rivalry between U of L and the University of Kentucky ended in a dead heat..
U of L baseball's 8-2 victory over UK on Tuesday night, the final regular-season head-to-head meeting this school year between the intrastate rivals, meant the Wildcats and Cardinals finished 5-5-1 against each other in all sports in 2017-18.
Given the tumult this year at U of L — the FBI implicating the Cardinals in the men's basketball corruption scandal and the subsequent dismissals of longtime Athletics Director Tom Jurich and men's basketball coach Rick Pitino — Cards backers should consider breaking even in our state's defining sports rivalry a boon.
