The Louisville Cardinals continue impressive feats.

The haters love to have a go at the Louisville Cardinals any opportunity they get. Since former Athletic Director Tom Jurich took over on Floyd Street in the ’90s, Louisville sports have been on a steady incline across the board.

What was once just a basketball school that consisted of mostly in-state commuters has blossomed into a true university, a valued academic institution, and a desirable landing spot for students and coaches alike.
