U of L has accepted the letter of resignation from now-former Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics/Director of Athletics Vince Tyra. The letter, effective Dec. 8, was sent Wednesday and received by U of L on Thursday.
The move comes as speculation rose over the last several days of Tyra potentially taking the same position at Florida State University. The U of L board of trustees even held a special meeting Wednesday to wave the non-compete clause in Tyra’s contract and the requirement that he give 30 days’ notice before leaving his position.
