The University of Louisville is on the hunt for a national PR firm to guide long-term strategy, crisis communications and bolster its next fundraising campaign.

The school's vaunted basketball program drew national scrutiny in October centered on outlandish and allegedly illegal behavior by its players. 

The work will include crisis planning, PR to support brand strategy and stakeholder communications, as well as media relations and other PR duties.

A seven-month contract is planned with a two-year renewal option is expected.

Proposals are due Nov. 20. View the RFP (PDF).
