New Louisville board member apparently not a Rick Pitino fan
UPDATE: Cobb has apparently deleted his account.
Gov. Matt Bevin announced new members of the University of Louisville board of trustees on Tuesday. One, judging by his tweets, is not a fan of Louisville basketball coach Rick Pitino.
Doug Cobb, the entrepreneur in residence at Chrysalis Ventures, a Louisville investment fund, used his twitter account back in February to criticize Pitino over the school’s basketball scandal. (To be fair, Cobb was not the only one.)
Here is the first tweet in a series of slams.
Please tell me how Pitino surveys this? Third sex scandal in recent years. I don't care if he "didn't know." He is responsible.

Here’s the second.
Why punish the players? If Rick had any character he would bear the responsibility for this by resigning.

Three’s a charm.
Rick Pitino has repeatedly trashed the brand of UL Basketball. Any CEO doing likewise would be history. He should be gone!

Cobb is obviously a sports and has strong opinions.
Grayson Allen, the most recent in a long line of Duke D-bags.

Remember when Louisville lost to UC Santa Barbara on a walk-off grand slam home run in the Super Regionals?
Choke of the year. Another great post-season by @UofLBaseball .

This could be interesting.
