Hmm....

Wow! I didn't think we were close to a decision. Does that mean in house?

[thefish7]

Just wild speculation here but could the new hire have affected merfelds decision. Maybe it's someone he's had a problem with in the past.

[AE Braves Fan]

my guess would be VHB

No. This impending announcement had NOTHING to do with his departure.

[BradleyBrave]

I would be shocked and extremely disappointed considering the candidates we've had.

Maye Merf's the new AD?

[thefish7]

Do you know something about candidates we have been interviewing?

[BradleyBrave]

O you know something about candidates we have been interviewing?

I heard they're of very high quality. So, needless to say, if VHB is named then what I was told will be false.

I, as well, will be very upset if VHB is our new AD.

I can't believe there haven't been any leaks of who it might be...or hype for the announcement...which has me somewhat worried. BU hasn't made a good, conventional hire in athletics in a long, long time. Surprise me today BU!

Not sure that will happen today... Hopefully in six minutes I will be eating my words.

And IMO that won't be happening when we go east to the nations highest academic land!
