In a letter sent to Tom Jurich to justify his firing as Louisville athletic director with cause, interim president Gregory Postel alleges that Jurich engaged in willful misconduct.
Jurich was fired on Oct. 18 in a 10-3 vote by the school's board of trustees. That decision came two days after the school's athletics board voted to fire men's basketball coach Rick Pitino. Both were placed on administrative leave Sept. 27 as a result of the FBI's ongoing investigation into fraud and corruption in recruiting related to the steering of recruits to Adidas, sports agents and financial advisers.
