Vince Tyra intent on building on Tom Jurich’s legacy at Louisville

No one knows how long the Vince Tyra era will last at the University of Louisville. Not even him. Could be a few months, several years, or a lifetime commitment. He’s around as long as he needed to assure the long-term future of UofL athletics.

Tyra is a prominent businessman, having been a chief executive officer five times. He’s been involved in numerous turnarounds and followed in the footsteps of so-called legends. Been through the rigors of corporate reorganizations, expansions and startups.
