Darron Boatright Enters Transfer Portal

[BOBB]

Let this be a lesson to us all. The Peter Principle is always lurking. Have your financial house in order prepared for the worst. Unlikely DB goes out and snags another $275k a year gig. I wish him the best in all his future endeavors.

What if the threatening of a WSU lawsuit didn't go through Muma first?

I think u may be on to something. There is something else going on beside the billboard.

NCAA reprimands Wichita State Shockers associate AD Darron Boatright (espn.com)
He can be bitchy at times...

[B&Gpassion]

I've said I'll wait to judge Muma and firing DB helps his status. I'm hoping that he's smart enough to utilize people around him and in the community to assist with the next hiring. Everything you said about what the next AD needs to be is accurate.

I appreciate your patience and hope. I’m past that. Not willing to gamble on hope with this deal. Too many dice have been rolled, time to get proven competent recruiters who are as passionate about Shocker sports as we are. I don’t believe Muma cares that much.

What if the threatening of a WSU lawsuit didn't go through Muma first?

I wondered this very thing.

[ShockBand]

I can't even explain the amount of pride and happiness I feel right now. Towards all of you on this board, towards our university, towards our community.

Thank you all, so much from the bottom of my heart. No matter how much I financially donate to WSU in my lifetime, nothing will make me feel that I have contributed as much as this moment right now.

You all are the absolute best. Thank you so much for supporting this.

I must have had my head in the sand... never heard about that incident.

OneGreatRacer needs to make a shirt with his handle on it so he never has to buy his own drinks again

We need to mint OneGreatRacer a challenge coin that he can produce for drinks from those in the know.

I'm guessing it didn't go through Muma OR legal ..

KSN is linking to the SaveShockerSports web site in their article - https://www.ksn.com/sports/shockers/...tor-boatright/

There has been a recent effort by some Shocker fans to oust Boatright. They started a website called SaveShockerSports.com with the hashtag #FireBoatright.

The people behind the website claim there is a lack of transparency in the WSU athletic departments.

They also say Wichita State athletes have not been able to get name, image and licensing (NIL) deals like other NCAA athletes.

This falls squarely on Mr. Boatright and athletic leadership. Men’s Basketball had nearly the entire roster transfer, with large NIL deals elsewhere being a large factor.”

The highlighting of the lack of proactivity regarding NIL was the nail in the coffin, in my opinion. Every other athletic department in a conference like or above ours in the college athletics power structure had a plan in place. We did not. That falls on DB. Completely.

The point that shoxlax makes is certainly possible as well. I would imagine it didn’t help, at the very least.

Getting a plan in place would have simply required DB to pick up a phone and call his peers at other similar and/or conference schools to find out what they were doing and how they were approaching it. Sitting back like the three monkeys from "see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil" while you wait for the feckless NCAA to send you a color by numbers doesn't cut it.

I remember it happening but had completely forgotten about it.

Lutz doesn't get it - nothing new there - but Stickboy and other repliers to Lutz's tweet do:

I give ZERO F***S about what either Lutz thinks about the situation.
