RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE CONCERNING NAMINGS AND DESIGNATIONS

Academic and Student Affairs Committee – December 10, 2020 Executive and Compensation Committee – December 10, 2020

RECOMMENDATION:

The President recommends the Board of Trustees approve the naming of the Southeast Corridor Dormitory as “Denny Crum Hall made possible by L&N Federal Credit Union.”

BACKGROUND:

At its October 2020 board meeting, the Board of Trustees approved the financing and construction of a new dormitory on Belknap Campus. When construction is complete, the Southeast Corridor Dormitory is anticipated to serve as a premier on-campus housing facility operated by the University of Louisville benefiting graduate students in the SPAD program as well as the Men’s and Women’s Basketball and Lacrosse student-athletes.

The naming rights of the dorm remain with the University through the agreement with the developer, IPA, and the UofL Foundation. In October 2020, L&N Federal Credit Union executed a $2.5 million gift to the Cardinal Athletic Fund in exchange for the opportunity to lend its support to the legacy of University of Louisville Athletics through naming a facility on behalf of former head Men’s Basketball Coach Denny Crum.

Some additional background on Coach Crum:

• Since 2001, The Denny Crum Scholarship Foundation and the Denny Crum Scholarship Fund at UofL have awarded over $1 million dollars benefiting over 425 students. In addition, Crum has lent countless hours of his time for charitable causes throughout the community for the past 49 years. Moreover, Coach Crum was the architect of one of the most impressive eras in collegiate basketball, which came to an end following the 2000- 01 season as former UofL Coach Denny Crum retired after 30 seasons with the Cardinals. • The man admirably labeled “Cool Hand Luke” by former commentator Al McGuire was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame on May 9, 1994. He directed Louisville to the 1980 and the 1986 NCAA Championships, ranking him as one of only 10 coaches in NCAA history to win two or more titles. Six times he guided the Cardinals into the NCAA Final Four, including four times in the decade of the ’80s. Only three coaches all- time coached more Final Four teams than Crum. • He directed the Cardinals to 23 NCAA Tournament appearances. Three of his squads participated in the NIT, reaching the NIT semifinals in 1985. The Cardinals captured or shared 12 regular season titles and 11 post-season tournament championships under Crum’s guidance. Crum engineered UofL to 20 or more victories in 21 of his 30 seasons.
