Acting/Interim AD... Memphis Commercial Appeal:[URL='https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/sports/2019/05/15/memphis-athletics-director-candidates/3668804002/'][SIZE=4]Who could replace Tom Bowen as Memphis athletics director?[/SIZE][/URL]

[SIZE=4]>>... Tom Jurich: [/SIZE]Jurich served as an athletics director from 1988-2017 at Northern Arizona, Colorado State and Louisville. His most notable achievements came in his 20-year stretch with Louisville, overseeing an Orange Bowl victory, Sugar Bowl victory and 2013 men's basketball national championship that later was vacated. While Jurich was in place for the controversial rehiring of football coach Bobby Petrino and retainment of basketball coach Rick Pitino, as well as NCAA sanctions in men's basketball, he also helped elevate the school's resources and profile to the point that it was invited to the ACC. Louisville and Jurich reached a $4.5 million settlement after he stepped down in wake the national federal corruption investigation of college basketball.<<
