< Previous98 University of Louisville n gocards.com Athletics Administration Louisville Basketball Vince Tyra Vice President/ Director of Athletics Vincent Tyra, a Louisville native with strong busi- ness credentials, was named as the University of Louisville’s Vice President for Intercollegiate Ath- letics and Director of Athletics on March 26, 2018. He had previ- ously served in an interim role leading Cardinal Athletics for six months prior to his appointment in that role on Oct. 3, 2017. Tyra (pronounced TIE-ray) has been highly active since assuming his position, using his business acu- men, passion for Cardinal Athletics and background in athletics to advance UofL onward. He has provided leadership while continuing to move the Cardinals forward in all sports, building upon the positive legacy of previous athletics successes, and taking the time to personally reach out to the UofL fan base and donors on multiple fronts through improved customer service. Tyra has instilled strong principles with established core beliefs and goals to drive the essence of the Cardinals’ athletics program moving forward. He has taken steps to stabilize the future of the Cardinals by extending the contracts for key UofL coaches and adding new ones while making moves to efficiently restructure the administrative and support staff, all with an emphasis on enhancing the student-athlete experience for the Cardinals. Among those astute head coaching hires are men’s basketball’s Chris Mack and football’s Scott Satterfield, both of whom have had early success and quickly become fan favorites. Tyra’s leadership during the pandemic has been apparent, moving quickly in the spring to plan for budgetary adjustments and developing protocols to get Cardinal student-athletes back on campus and into competition, well ahead of most athletic departments. He has monitored major capital projects, including a Cardinal Stadium expansion completed in August 2018, as well as constructing and outfitting a broad- cast center on campus in advance of the launch of the ACC Network in August 2019. A comprehensive study will help guide the timetable for upcoming future enhancements. Funding has been jumpstarted with a flurry of substantial benevolent gifts from individu- als and companies who believe in and align with the current Cardinals’ leadership and values. During Tyra’s first three years, Louisville has ranked among the top 35 schools in the nation in the Learfield Sports Director’s Cup national all-sports standings, making it seven straight seasons the Cardinals have ranked among the nation’s top 35. UofL was poised for one of their top seasons in the standings at No. 8 nationally in Fall 2019 before the winter and spring championships were cancelled due to COVID-19. Cardinal athletic teams have achieved impressive academic results, posted a collec- tive 3.507 GPA during the most recent 2020 Spring semester. Five UofL athletic teams -- men’s and women’s basketball, women’s cross country, women’s golf and volleyball – received public rec- ognition awards for ranking in the top 10 percent in the most recent Academic Progress Rate. The Cardinals have been generous with their service time as UofL won 2019-20 NCAA Division I Team Works Award Competition for outstanding community service. UofL has ranked among the top five nationally in all six years of the competition, including winning it a second time earlier. Tyra’s efforts have strengthened UofL’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, through the depart- mental goals and values statements and the creation of the Cardinals S.O.A.R. (Strategically Organizing Against Racism) Committee. The committee works to provide educational opportunities and resources to enhance knowledge and empower action; create brave and safe spaces to build and sustain a supportive anti-racist com- munity; and implement initiatives to assist and serve underrepresented and historically marginalized groups. Prior to his appointment at UofL, Tyra served as an operating partner since 2007 for Southfield Capital, a Greenwich, Conn. based private equity firm that invests in lower middle market companies. In his role there, Tyra served as chairman of the board of numerous investments to include Hallcon Corp, RCR International, Total Fleet Solutions, Dealer Financial Services, and BioPharm Communications. Tyra most recently served as chairman of the board and interim Chief Executive Officer of Elite Medical, a company based in Clearwater, Fla. Tyra was a corporate advisor from 2008-2017 for ISCO Industries, a privately held piping supply company based in Louisville, Ky. He also formerly served as the president of Retail and Activewear for Fruit of the Loom in Bowling Green, Ky. Tyra has served as a member of the University of Louisville Foundation Board of Directors and chaired the organization’s Finance Committee. He joined the board in February 2017, but stepped down from the position after his appointment with Cardinal Athletics. He has served on the board of Industrial Services of America, a Louisville-based scrap metal recycling company. A former standout athlete himself, Tyra graduated from Trinity High School in Louisville in 1984 as the state’s top baseball prospect and was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame. He was a four-year baseball letterman (1985-88) and two-time team captain at the University of Kentucky, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in health administration in 1989. He started 37 career games as a pitcher for Kentucky, tied for 14th at UK. A long-time supporter of UofL Athletics, his father Charlie Tyra was a consensus All-America at UofL, led the Cardinals to the 1956 National Invitation Tourna- ment Championship and is one of four players with his jersey number (No. 8) retired at UofL, along with Wes Unseld, Darrell Griffith and Pervis Ellison. Tyra and his wife Lori have five children: Sydney, Audrey, Olivia, Spencer and Cooper.

Under the direction of UofL Director of Athletics Pep Bands Al Greener, this spirited group of musical cheerleaders can be seen (and heard!) supporting many of UofL’s Cardinal athletes. From basketball and volleyball, to soccer, lacrosse, field hockey and swimming, the Cardinal Pride Pep Band is there to provide the soundtrack! CHEERLEADERS The University of Louisville Coed cheerleading squad has won 18 National Cheerleading Association Championships (1985, ‘86, ‘89, ‘92, ‘94, ‘96, ‘98, ‘99, ‘03, ‘04, ‘05, ‘06, ‘07, ‘08, ‘09, ’11, ’16, ‘18). The Cards’ All-Girl squad has won 17 championships (2001-05, ‘07-’09, ‘11-12, ‘15- ’19), including seven straight titles. UofL has also won the Small Coed national competition ten times (2005, ‘06, ‘08, ‘09, ‘11, ‘13, ‘14, ‘15, ‘16, ‘17). The cheerleaders are coached by James Speed (Coed), and Misty Hodges (All-Girl). gocards.com n University of Louisville 99 Band & Spirit Louisville BasketballThe Tradition of Excellence Consistency. It is the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. In today’s intercollegiate athletics, competition is so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Established in 1953, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most com- petitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it. Through 67 years of competition, ACC schools have captured 161 NCAA team championships, including 80 in women’s competition, 79 in men’s sports and two in fencing. In addition, NCAA individual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 186 times in men’s competition and 141 times in women’s action. 2019-20 in Review The 2019-20 academic year saw all athletic competition come to an abrupt halt March 12 due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to competition being canceled for the remainder of the academic year, the confer- ence completed championship competition in 15 sports — seven for men and eight for women. The fall season also saw North Carolina’s field hockey team capture its second consecutive NCAA title, and ACC teams were national contenders in numerous fall and winter sports. The ACC has averaged four national titles per year over the past two-plus decades (92 in 23 years) and has claimed multiple NCAA titles in 3 6 of the p ast 39 years. Academically, the member institutions of the ACC again led the way among Power 5 confer- ences in the latest “Best Colleges” rankings released by US News & World Report. ACC member insti- tutions combined for an average rank of 54.7, marking the 13th straight year that the AC C led all Power 5 conferences. The Championships The ACC conducts cham- pionship competition in all 27 sports — 13 for men and 14 for women. The first ACC champion- ship was held in swimming at North Carolina State University on F eb. 25, 1954. The 13 sports for men include football, cross country, soccer, basketball, fencing, swimming & diving, indoor and outdoor track & field, wrestling, baseball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. Women’s sports were initiated in 1977 with the first championship meet held in tennis October 6-8 at Wake Forest University. Championships for women are currently conducted in cross country, field hockey, soccer, basketball, fencing, swimming & diving, indoor and outdoor track & field, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing, with volleyball deciding its champion by regular-season play. ACC History The Atlantic Coast Conference was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, North Carolina with seven charter members — Clem- son, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest — drawing up the conference by-laws. The withdrawal of seven schools from the South- ern Conference came early on the morning of May 8, 1953, during the Southern Conference’s annual spring meeting. On June 14, 1953, the seven members met in Raleigh, North Carolina, where a set of bylaws was adopted, and the n ame became officially the Atlantic Coast Conference. Suggestions from fans for the name of the new conference ap- peared in the region’s newspapers prior to the meeting in Raleigh. Some of the names suggested were Dixie, Mid-South, Mid- Atlantic, East Coast, Seaboard, Colonial, Tobacco, Blue-Gray, Piedmont, Southern Seven and the Shoreline. Duke’s Eddie Cameron recom- mended that the name of the conference be the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the motion was passed unanimously. The meeting concluded with each member institution assessed $200.00 to pay for conference expenses. On Dec. 4, 1953, conference officials met again at Sedgefield and officially admitted Virginia as the league’s eighth member. The first withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971, when South Carolina tendered its resignation. The ACC operated with seven members until April 3, 1978, when Georgia Tech was admitted. The Atlanta school had withdrawn from the S outheastern Conference in January of 1964. The ACC expanded to nine members on July 1, 1991, with the addition of Florida State. The conference expanded to 11 members on July 1, 2004, with the addition of Miami and Virginia Tech. On Oct. 17, 2003, Boston College accepted an invita- tion to become the league’s 12th member starting July 1, 2005. The ACC added its 13th and 14th members on Sept. 18, 2011, when Pittsburgh and Syracuse accepted invitations to join the conference. The two schools officially joined the ACC on July 1, 2013. Notre Dame also officially joined the ACC on July 1, 2013, after announcing on Sept. 12, 2012 its intention to enter the league for competition in all sports but football, bringing the membership of the conference to 15. The Fighting Irish will play five games with ACC schools each year. On July 1, 2014, Louisville entered the ACC on the same day Maryland withdrew, keeping the confer- ence’s membership at 15 institutions.

The University of Louisville women’s basketball team embraced the role of underdog during its 2009 NCAA Tournament run. The Cardinals were never picked as the favor- ite despite upsetting three top five-ranked teams in a row to advance to the National Championship game. Louisville had to beat Liberty and host LSU in the first two rounds of the tournament, then No. 5 Baylor, No. 3 Maryland and No. 4 Oklahoma to earn a spot in the title game. The Car- dinals’ luck ran out against top-ranked UConn in the title game, falling to the Huskies 76-54. The Cardinals advanced to the Final Four for the first time in school history and won a school-record 34 games. Louisville also finished the season with their highest ranking of No. 2 in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll. 2 0 0 9 NCAA Tournament Runner-Up gocards.com n University of Louisville 107 NCAA Final Four Louisville BasketballNext >
