Louisville expected to announce Kenny Payne as new basketball coach Friday morning

Kenny Payne will be introduced to the world as the next Louisville men’s basketball coach on Friday morning.

A meeting of the University of Louisville Athletic Association Board of Directors has been called for Friday at 9 a.m., presumably to approve Payne’s pending contract. Louisville has also called a 10 a.m. press conference that will be held at the KFC Yum Center, which I think we can all assume will be Payne’s official introductory press conference.

Let the debating and the speculating and the rumor-mongering cease. It’s Payne. It’s Friday. The next era of Cardinal basketball is here.
