Former Louisville fan 'Papa' John Schnatter seen wearing Kentucky gear behind Wildcats' bench image

Better ingredients. Better pizza. New college basketball allegiances.

"Papa" John Schnatter appears to have shifted his hoops loyalties in the state of Kentucky.

The disgraced former CEO of Papa John's was sporting Kentucky gear while sitting behind the Wildcats' bench during their game against LSU at Rupp Arena on Tuesday.

Schnatter is the founder and former CEO of Papa John's, which formerly had the naming rights to Louisville's football stadium, now called Cardinal Stadium. He is also a former member of Louisville's Board of Trustees.

It's a strong shift by Schnatter, who was a well-known Louisville fan before his fall from grace. It seems his preferences have shifted to the Cardinals' rival school. 

It appears Schnatter's presence wasn't exactly a good luck charm, as the Wildcats fell to the Tigers on a controversial last-second tip-in.
