University of Louisville supporters can be confident that the future of the school is in good hands with David Grissom having been named Chairman of the UofL Board of Trustees. He will not abide mediocrity.
Grissom was selected by the board Saturday, winning the post over Junior Bridgeman, a highly successful businessman and former Louisville basketball player. Bridgeman was a good choice last year when UofL needed a likable leader to bridge the gap between the old and new boards. Grissom is the better choice now, an aggressive, no-nonsense leader to deal with some of the immense challenges facing the University.
