U-Guides to offer tours centered around athletics

By Megan McDonald | April 10, 2008

These facts and other myth-busters are part of the University Guide Service's new athletics tours, which will officially commence tomorrow afternoon at John Paul Jones Arena. The tours are the brainchild of Kase Luzar, a former Cavalier football player and current athletic department employee.
