Former Louisville Star Butch Beard wants his name purged from the university’s record books over what he sees as a very serious concern within the athletic department.
Beard, who played at Louisville in the 1960s before a decade-long career in the NBA, is upset at the lack of Black coaches that have been hired at the school — and met with Louisville president Neeli Bendapudi about the issue on Thursday.
