Weird that Terry didn't apply but his counterpart at Kansas did.

His wifes family is from the midwest, they may want to stay out there for a bit.

and the rest of the gaps…

Peter Levine- Director of the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Education at Tufts University (not sure this is our guy but he writes a lot about sports)

George Nelson- Head of athletic programs at the Air Force Academy

Jay Rossello- director of legal affairs and assistant general council at the  NCAA

Albert Santiago- found a guy by this name that applied to be an AD at a high school in Pasco County and another that is listed as a manager with New Balance (not sure either is our guy)

Bruce Schulze- President of Sun Life Stadium

Stan Shanbron- two time tennis all American at Columbus State University, now works with various companies and organizations in south Florida involving sports, advertising and apparel

Zaven Yaralian- NEBRASKA football player, Defensive Coordinator- Coached for Mike Ditka at the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints, Dan Reeves at the New York Giants, Mike Shanahan at the Denver Broncos. Now is president and owner of the Rio Grande Club, a fly fishing and golf resort in Colorado


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.


A fair amount of AD's have legal backgrounds.

I'm sure they do, but for this hire, I'd rather have someone with a marketing or fundraising background.

I do not want an AD with we need to work what with we have attitude I want the we need to have more attitude. I am a fan of Scott Kull worked for a program that has made huge strides at TCU. He also worked for FSU in the marketing department.

Re: FAU Athletic Director Position: Official Applicant Listing

There are some guys on this list with serious pedigree, Bama, BC, SMU, Mizzou…I'll take anyone that wants to make strides toward those athletic programs. I'm still a fan of Leonard at SMU for his fundraising prowess…I know SMU alum have deeper pockets than us but the key to being a successful fundraiser is simple: know who can write you a million dollar check and ask them to do it, something that CA couldn't do; it seems like Leonard is quite capable in that arena.

What school in Pasco Coutny?  I went to Wiregrass Ranch, and there are some MAJOR sports programs up here.

according to this article  Florida high school sports | Fivay releases list of AD applicants

he was at Anclote and was applying for the AD position at a new school, Fivay High School, but I couldnt find any evidence of him at either school in the last two years

Hahaha, nevermind then.  Both are new, "small market" (for a lack of better words) schools and athletic teams.

Any updates on any recent interviews or if we're any closer to making a decision

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

Ok to answer my own question lol. Per Rick: President Saunders is on vacation this week, she won't be back until next week and the committee hasn't had an update for the last 2 days. Everything will resume next week when she gets back in town

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

Does anyone know if they will have a news conference when they introduce the new AD?
