First, Jeff Long should be fired.

Want to know why Jeff Long should not be fired?

Look at Louisville, where Tom Jurich, the man who hired your hero twice (the second time after he disgraced himself here), is about to be out on his butt.

Why? Because Jurich only demanded that his coaches win, not that they do little things like stay off probation, not pay for their girlfriend’s abortions and keep hookers out of the dorm.

So Rick Pitino is out after his third scandal in recent years. The NCAA will have no choice but to drop the hammer on UL basketball for buying players with Adidas money. And Jurich will no longer be around to protect Bobby Petrino the next time Bobby goes back to being Bobby. Maybe Bobby is buying players with Adidas money too. This FBI investigation is far from finished, and it may go beyond basketball before it’s over.

Jeff Long, by contrast, demands that we play by the rules, even if some of our competitors don’t. If he turned into win-at-all-costs Tom Jurich, I wouldn’t want him. You probably would love a Jurich, but that’s your problem.

And…I thank you.

Most AD’s play by the rules. Nobody said to hire anyone who is going to cheat.

Oh really? We just saw six hoops programs, five of which aren’t Louisville, who are now in a world of hurt with the FBI and the NCAA. Two of them are in the SEC, Auburn and SoCar. And there are plenty more where that came from, including more SEC schools (Calipari is sweating bullets right now, and Reggie Perry decommitted from us for a rea$on). There’s the Hugh Freeze mess at Ole Miss. Etc., etc., etc. There may not be many major hoops programs left standing after the FBI gets through.

There are 347 division 1 basketball schools. Six is not the majority.
