Tom Jurich ruled the Louisville media with intimidation

Since the firing of athletic director Tom Jurich from the University of Louisville, stories about how he tried to rule the media in his town with an Iron Fist are finally coming to light. This isn’t a new revelation, at least not to Kentucky fans.

For years, Louisville fans have scoffed at the crazy notion that Tom Jurich was controlling the media in Louisville with fear and intimidation. UK fans were called conspiratorial lunatics for having that opinion even though there were plenty of whispers and hints dropped about Jurich being a bully and a control freak.

Now, Kentucky fans are having the last laugh because according to ESPN and the Courier-Journal, Tom Jurich was much worse than we all thought.
