Louisville soccer dismisses 3 players, suspends 3 others for party that led to COVID-19 outbreak

The party resulted in 29 positive tests for the coronavirus and caused four athletic programs to temporarily halt workouts.

Here are some comments from AD Vince Tyra:

“I’m extremely disappointed in these young men and particularly with the three that have been dismissed,” Cardinals soccer coach John Michael Hayden said in a statement. “They have demonstrated with their actions now and previously that they do not echo the culture of this program. Our student-athletes are held to a high standard of conduct as representatives of our program and university.”

Louisville said the three dismissed players had previously violated team rules.
