    How long before the next University President is hired? How soon after he takes the job will he start AD search?

      Supposed to be prior to July I think.

      DB will probably stay for next year. I'm not sure a new president comes in and immediately cans him. Unless wealthy donors talk to and convince the new president to do so.

      Any ideas who could be an option? ADs aren't something I generally have a lot of knowledge on.

              I didn’t get a chance to hear it, but really no surprise. That being said, what does he do? Maybe I need his job...lol.

                Do you mean what does Brent do?

                He’s an ATM for fundraising.

                  He might be the most likable person at WSU, which this board not withstanding at times, includes a lot of people.

                        He’s damn good at it too. Moving him ANYWHERE would be disastrous

                          Brent's been around Wichita for more than 40 years now. He knows who plays golf at Flint Hills National, AND who doesn't but have the money to play there if they wanted to. He probably doesn't know as many of the wealth class as Eric Sexton did, but Eric was made for fund raising and when he made the move over to the AD seat, he was a "fish out of water" so to speak.

                          That's very likely the case for BK too.

                            Is anyone good at open records? Might be worth a search regarding AD.

                              The thing WSU probably needs to do is hire a search firm (which they should have done with the BBHC) to start combing through successful, multi-sport, institutions. The lower tiered schools WSU could probably examine the ADs. In the upper tiers, they would be wise to look at associate ADs.
