It’s official. A new era of Cardinal athletics is upon us.
Here’s the release from U of L:
The University of Louisville turned to a familiar face to take the helm of the Cardinals’ athletic programs. Interim President Lori Stewart Gonzalez announced that Josh Heird, who has served as interim AD for almost six months, was hired today as vice president for intercollegiate athletics and athletic director.
The UofL Athletic Association endorsed the hiring at its meeting Friday morning. The appointment is immediate, although contract terms have not been finalized.
“Josh is our athletics director because he represents who we are today—and who we aspire to be,” Gonzalez said.
