Uh, they were the most profitable basketball program in the country when they played at Freedom Hall and had to schedule around cow farting contest and truck pulls. Nothing has changed. It has nothing to do with the new arena and everything to do with having the best A.D in America, who knows how to manage not only the success on the court/field, but also how to manage money.

As for the arena, it is not U of L's fault the arena has not made the projected profits. After all, it is packed for every Louisville men's game and the women's program are also one of the tops in attendance. It is okay to be bitter/jealous but at least do a little research on the subject first.

If you really want to blame someone, blame the morons at the state fair board, they have been unable to capitalize on the finest arena in the country. It got so bad they got a pink slip!
