About Us
U of L Card Game was conceived in September 2007 by Charles Springer, the principal and founder of CSWorks, a communications and public affairs consulting firm. The objective is to provide news and commentary on University of Louisville athletics which is often lacking in the local and national news media. Some of the views expressed on this site may not represent the views of the University of Louisvile or of the U of L Card Game staff and its owner.
Springer is a former Sportswriter for The Courier-Journal and former Managing Editor of Louisville Magazine. In addition, he was
Internal Communications Manager for Brown & Willliamson Tobacco Corporation for over a decade. He is a University of Louisville graduate and a longtime fan. Please use the Contact Form if you have comments or suggestions about features, topics or ways to enhance this web site.
