It seems Louisville has distanced itself from Kentucky with winning the basketball NC and now light years ahead in Football.

Too bad this hasn't been the case. Kentucky has the top QB in the state committed and multiple other top guys. We are currently battling them for top guy in the state Matt Elam. The cupboard is extremely bare in Lexington right now and a bad season this year should be expected, but the future seems bright under Stoops.
They won a championship in basketball a year ago and have the top ranked team in the country right now. They have a legit chance of being the first team since Indiana in '87 to run the table.
The rest of Kentucky's sports programs are pretty good overall. U of L is having a lot of success currently, but they also play in pretty shitty league outside of their basketball team.

Princeton, Harvard and Yale are still the all around Flagship Universities of the United States but when was the last time they were relevant in Division 1 football?

Not at all. They almost did it 2 years ago and this team could be even more talented.
I'm not the only one who thinks this. Some pretty respectable people in the college basketball media agree they have a chance to do it.
They have a legit possible 8 first round draft picks on their team. Julius Randle is a fricking beast.

Mark Richt has lost control of UK

1. They aren't going undefeated.
2. 1987 Indiana didn't run the table

Probably, but they have a chance

I don't think running the table in college basketball is possible under any scenario.
UK's 2011-12 team was just as talented as this season's team imo and it had more meaningful experience. UK has a team that could very well win the championship this season, but I'd bet against them running the table.

you're saying they have 8 guys that might go first round THIS season or in the future?

5 or 6 this year and a few maybe next year. It all depends on how things go this year.
Some of the guys have the potential to do it, but it may not pan out this year sort of like Poythress last year.
Edit: Plus this draft class is pretty loaded. If it was anything like last years they would have a better chance at it.

The only sports that had any success in the academic year that I could think of are softball and women's basketball

The NBA drafts off of potential, so some of those guys who could be first round picks might not do well immediately. Archie Goodwin was a first round pick but an awful college basketball player.
Marcus Lee would probably be a first round pick if he decided to leave after his freshman season, but I doubt he does all that much next season.
