Troy University - Troy University Director of Athletics Steve Dennis Announces Resignation
Interesting timing (putting it nicely), wonder what is up or going on up there in Bama land.

Troy AD resigns
Everyone says great things about his approachability, attitude, friendliness, etc.
I wonder whether he was under any criticism for apparently doing nothing to position Troy for the conference alignment shake-up. Troy seemed to sit back and let it all happen around it (not that moving to CUSA would have been much if any of an upward move). And I wonder if the slow pace of fund-raising for the end zone building and stadium enclosure hurt any.
At first glance, it appears to be a situation not unlike what FAU just went through.

Conferences should learn (such as CUSA taking FIU and the Sun Belt taking Georgia State) that just because your university is in a major city does not mean you have that city's full support, can pack your stadium, or draw large numbers of TV viewers. There are times when Troy has as many or more people in its stadium than live in the Pike County, Ala. area.

Don't hold this against me but I actually gave him some falcons tickets last year (via my customer of course).
I don't think there is any animosity on this board against Troy other than there constantly kicking our butts. We have had a few solid wins against them to even the score somewhat but all in all I don't have any issue with them. Not like the kitties down south.
GO OWLS!

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

A few solid wins? Maybe in basketball and baseball. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure our win vs. them in 07 was our 1 and only in football
I was referring to all sports but that win on 07' was a big win.
GO OWLS!

As for Troy, great facilities (already available or under way) and winning will make Troy a good candidate for any upward move, as long as Troy markets itself.
The new basketball facility is particularly impressive.
