LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Oct. 18. 2017) – After a lengthy closed session discussion at their meeting Wednesday afternoon, the University of Louisville board of trustees voted 10-3 to fire the school’s longtime athletics director Tom Jurich.

Federal prosecutors in New York alleged on Sept. 26 that multiple UofL coaches were involved in a scheme to bribe two recruits into attending the school, which led to UofL’s interim President Greg Postel placing both Jurich and Hall of Fame basketball coach Rick Pitino on administrative leave the next day.
