Neeli Bendapudi leaving Louisville for Penn State

The two people tabbed to clean up the University of Louisville’s many scandals have had enough. News broke this morning that Dr. Neeli Bendapudi is leaving Louisville to take the same job at Penn State. Meanwhile, athletics director Vince Tyra was expected to take the open AD job at Florida State, although that is now in question in the wake of the Bendapudi news. The UofL Board of Trustees met yesterday afternoon and voted to allow Tyra out of his contract, clearing the path for his exit.

Tyra and Bendapudi came on board following an especially tumultuous period for the university.
