FAU Athletic Director Position: Official Applicant Listing

GeorgiaOwl said

I noticed the AD from Old Dominion. The same that just joined CUSA! But on their site he is listed as Sr. Assoc. AD! Still interesting that he would leave their "upward bound" program to run FAU.

A D1 AD job is usually still a step up for the resume nomatter the conference.

Another interesting name on the list…Wake Forest's Mike Buddie.  Don't know how'd he'd do as an AD, but he's a former MLB pitcher.

Being from Wisconsin, Wisconsin-Milwaukee has a fine basketball and baseball program, but no football program. Be a little tough for him in Florida. Cottingham was criticize for his handling of two students athletes who were allegedly accused of sexual assault. But under Cottingham Marquette is starting Lacrosse next year, and the Basketball teams enjoyed relative success.

Schulze is  the former president at Sun Life Stadium.  He was there when we played there.  Don't think we need to reach back into that part of our history for his hire.  :D

Also, stay away from Rossello….He could be a great guy, but we just had a guy with a legal background…need to try something new.
