Ollie leaving?

[DCWV4life]

@mikecasazza: Sources tell Charleston Daily Mail WVU athletic director Oliver Luck leaving school to take position with NCAA. Announcement expected today.

 

[DCWV4life]

@mikecasazza: Word is this is a created position and Luck will be something of second-in-charge there to oversee NCAA reform.

Better to see Casazza post this than the Dude. Now it has some cred...

Too bad for WVU... huge loss...

4m4 minutes ago[/ame] When Texas hired Steve Patterson last season, people close to Luck and WVU remained aware larger role with NCAA was threat to pluck Oliver.

Probably leaving before the results of Raese's lawsuit are determined... he's running scared...

I hate to see him go, he has done a lot for the program. Maybe he can help sort out the trainwreck that the NCAA has become. It would be nice if we could somehow get Rob Mullens to come home from Oregon.

6m6 minutes ago[/ame] Oliver Luck to become NCAA's 2nd in command to Emmert. Smart move NCAA. Luck's as sharp/forward-thinking as any administrator I've talked to

Is he taking Bradley with him?:rollseyes:

 

[bbwvfan]

Since he hired him, I would imagine so...

Huge loss if we revert back to the good ol boy network....I would like to see us be more progressive in this move and bring in someone who is aggressive and forward thinking. Ollie work could go for nothing if handed over to the wrong leadership.

@mikecasazza: WVU's interim AD is Keli Cunningham. Do not count her out as Luck's successor. She's highly regarded at WVU and around college sports.

Know her very well, I think she would be awesome.

While I know Gee disbanded the athletic department at Vandy, I feel confident he will pick the right guy to take what Ollie has started... and keep it rolling.

This. I don't want to see them hire Eddie P jr.

Everyone is mentioning Rob Mullens.

I am sure now that Luck is gone there will be dollar dogs and 50 cent cokes for everyone.

BUT, you call ME a troll?

What this man has done in 4.5 years is nothing short of phenomenal...the next person up is sitting in Position "A"....

Thanks OLIVER for taking care of your Alma Mater!!!..

I hope we have REAL progress with the next guy, Join the PAC so we cant get to ANY away games, raise parking rates to $500/game, raise ticket prices to $500 face value with a $1,000 seat license per, AND get the price of hot dogs up to $50 where an on the go program should have them, only shitty mid majors don't rob their fans.......
