By Dalton Ray —

The University of Louisville has announced interim athletic director Vince Tyra will become the full time athletic director. Tyra has served as the interim since Oct. 3 after former athletic director Tom Jurich was removed last September.

The board of trustees voted unanimously hire Tyra. The search committee also reportedly considered two other candidates in addition to Tyra.

The interim tag didn’t prevent Tyra from making big-time decisions. During a February press conference, Tyra said he’s doing what he thinks is best for university.
