1. BIG PAPA DOES A BURNOUT ON YOUR ATHLETIC PROGRAM. HIS ATHLETIC PROGRAM
The first instance of someone messing with your football program this week: John Schnatter, aka BIG PAPA, aka Daddy Burnout, aka MC Botox, aka the biggest booster of the Louisville athletic program.
The pizza sultan of Kentuckiana aired his grievances about Louisville’s leadership in a meeting of the board of trustees this week. The complaints centered primarily on the lack of public presence by Louisville leadership—i.e. their athletic director Tom Jurich, a lifer who’s been at the job since 1997.
Tom Jurich hired Bobby Petrino twice.
