Larry Williams Resigns

[NersEllenson]

Does this mean the basketball players are free again to roam the campus and do whatever they want without any consequences?

Hopefully. And hopefully they'll continue to dawg you out "smooth."

Interesting to read the wording of the release....today Larry informed MU of his resignation, yet in the same day, MU already has Cords accepting the position...?  Pretty sure Larry at minimum knew the writing was on the wall that he would be replaced at some time in the near future...

And Larry has ZERO role in our Volleyball and Soccer teams doing well - you can thank the coaches of those teams for their recruiting and coaching talent...

A GREAT A.D., creates an environment whereby the coaches under his charge are inspired by his leadership, and that he has their back.  Larry, 91 days into his job, threw the biggest asset in his department under the bus to the local newspaper.  Truly a classic foot in the mouth blunder.

Strangely enough, in spite of the "resignation", I suspect that he is leaving with a nice compensation package/settlement.

Just found a site giving Scoop a $20,520 valuation!  Zuckerberg ain't got nothing!

That valuation is based on axing the moderators and immediately adding a heavy dose of advertising particularly for alcohol, firearms and antidepressants.

Hummm......no.  

However, Marquette Tribune editors will still be allowed to call incoherent, logically inconsistent rants editorials, though.

BTW, is getting kicked off the team and run out of Marquette a consequence?

Just curious, what were the negatives with Williams that everyone was happy to see him go? My knowledge outside of the actual basketball team is extremely limited.

Yeah, what were they--sounds like there is a lot of political agenda going on within the administration.

[willie warrior]

Larry was a joke.  Period.  MU ending up in the Catholic version of the Big East was a given...we are a flasgship brand of the New Big East - not like Larry sold us into the league..we were already in...the timing for breaking away was perfect with Fox starting Fox Sports 1, and needing some content...it was inevitable.

It is an absolute fact Buzz was no fan of Larry....Buzz is on cloud nine right now from this development along with Pilarz being gone.  Now if Derrick Wilson can just step up and prove Buzz right....Buzz will be at peak happiness...as will our basketball team!  

Doesn't Jake Thomas and Juan Anderson also need to step up to prove Buzz right? Or is 33.3% good.

But then if you want to add on raising admission standards, and moving the incoming freshman basketball players out of Humphrey and into normal dorms - while other programs are building state of the art, 5 star residences for their basketball and football players - Kentucky, OkState - yeah, okay Larry, that's really supporting and helping your basketball coach recruiting....WHATEVER!

Someone please tell me tomorrow evening's team bonding activity will be moving them into Humphrey.  A good way to fix the dumb and move on.

That would be awesome.  Maybe as they are moving out to Humphrey they can turn to their fellow students and say "see ya peon suckers"

Unless legislation changed in the last year, athletic dorms are still prohibited.  They were outlawed in 1991 phased out completely in 1996.  

As of 2012, that was still the NCAA's rule, but they were considering changing it (until they change it again down the road with a repeat of what happened in the SEC, SWC, etc that led to the original ban years ago).

The rules currently state at least 50% of the student dorm population must be non athletes.

Wow, I did not get the impression when viewing Kentucky's video on their new 5 star dorm for basketball players that there were any non b-ball players allowed.  Still remember Calipari turning toward the woman at a desk by the front door saying; "Her job is to make sure that nobody who doesn't belong in here gets in."  I guess that UK must have included a floor for the offspring of heavy donors to the program.

Impressive.  I recall some kind of quote from somewhere along the lines of "the best way to foretell the future is to correctly read the present."  You seem to have done that in this instance.

I see an aging but sweet looking dude - that ain't him.  Sorry hoop, if you are peaking in.

They are pushing it to sell UK recruits on, but the 50% rule applies.  Here's an article on it

This will help recruiting.

Humm, a full academic ride to Harvard or a full academic ride to Kentucky with a guarantee of housing in the Wildcat Coal Lodge.  Decisions, decisions.

I'd love to see the NCAA change the rule to a somewhere between 75 and 90% rule.  That would cause some tough decisions to take place.  In truth, it would probably just hasten a split between the NCAA and the BCS schools.

Adios, Notre Dame Larry.

[madtownwarrior]

I guess he never could pronounce Marquette's biggest donors names correctly after all these years.

It takes Domers more than 2 years to get those German and Polish names right.....

When you cannot pronounce "Dick Strong", it is time to move on...

No problem with pronunciation, it was just embarrassing when he'd giggle each time he said it.

Misogyny is not a positive choice.  Stop choosing it.

Buzz to AD.
