Wichita State Athletic Director Jim Schaus left to take the ASD job at Ohio University.
WSU just hired Eric Sexton as their new AD.
It is an interesting hire--
He was formerly empolyed at Wichita State as executive director of governmental relations and board of trustees, and he has no experience in athletics or in running an athletic department.
Here is an interesting quote from him--
"When people talk about, 'Do you know much about athletics?' -- well, no, but we've got a great staff," Sexton said. "You're going to get tired of hearing me say that -- but we've got a great staff."
Another interesting quote when asked about his lack of experience--
"I play golf," he said. "When there's a golf shot I can't hit, I can't call in a sub. What's great about this athletic department, when there's a golf shot I can't hit, we have got somebody that can hit that shot. That's why we have a team."
