UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE

The University of Louisville Athletic Association approved a proposal Friday for athletic director Tom Jurich to begin contract extension discussions with football coach Bobby Petrino. Petrino signed a six-year contract with $3 million in annual salary when he returned to U of L in 2014. Jurich said he planned to meet with Petrino’s representatives on Tuesday to discuss specifics, but he didn’t have any details about the proposed extension after the ULAA meeting. The decision to extend Petrino comes two weeks after Jurich announced the start of Louisville’s capital campaign to raise money for an expansion of Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium. -Jeff Greer, courier-journal.com– Read More
