John Swofford was front and center on one of the biggest days in University of Louisville history. He was, in fact, the individual, who as Commissioner, officially welcomed UofL into the Atlantic Coast Conference. The best of times for Louisville supporters and fans.
Jim Ramsey, former UofL President, and Tom Jurich, former VP of Athletics, overseeing the ceremony at Howard Schnellenberger Complex at Cardinal Stadium. Ramsey and Jurich seated in the front row, having navigated Louisville into the ranks of the big boys, finally into a Power Five Conference. A moment to be savored, a major milestone for the university, followed by community celebration of hundreds at Fourth Street Live downtown.
