By Evan Eley–
The University of Louisville’s new Thornton’s Academic Center of Excellence has been holding tabling events for employers to specifically recruit athletes. The events began in late August, and saw three employers arrive, ready to hire. Are athletes receiving valuable face-to-face time with employers that the average student does not have access to?
The $18.5 million academic center opened its doors to athletes this fall semester. It is complete with luxurious Adidas lounges, a private cafeteria and numerous study spaces.
