Darron Boatright Enters Transfer Portal

[Ted Lasso's Neighbor]

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

Best part about that is the last sentence - "He's also in charge of the day-to-day oversight of the men's basketball program." - the article is from June 2013, so Boatright can't ever say he wasn't aware of things Marshall did before he became AD.

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

This times effing infinity.

Throw those tools a couple of coloring books, and have them sit at the back of the class where they can pick their nose and pull each others fingers when they fart.

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

That explains why the interview last week was apparently weak and didn't challenge DB on anything. At least from what the few listeners on here had said.

Just throwing out a random idea for the billboard, since the first one did its job with time to spare lol, could we legally throw up images of Pohto and Porter and put "you don't want to go to war....with the SHOOOCKERS" under them? Just something positive with the core guys.

Muma's statement - https://www.wichita.edu/about/wsunew...05042022_8.php

Dear Shocker Nation:

Today, I write to let you know of a transition in our Department of Athletics. Earlier today, I informed Director of Athletics Darron Boatright, who has served the Shockers for 12 years, six as the full-time director, that we are making a change in the leadership of the department.

While there were certainly achievements and successes during Darron’s tenure, there were significant, ongoing concerns that became acute in recent weeks, ones that I did not believe could be addressed. This decision is in the best interests of Wichita State, our coaches and staff, and our student-athletes.

I have asked Senior Associate Athletic Director / SWA Sarah Adams to serve as our Interim Director of Athletics and I am confident that she will provide us with the leadership, stability and compassion needed during the transition.

As all of you know, Wichita State University is on the rise, and our athletics program plays an important role in our institutional momentum. With incredible fans and supporters, talented coaches and support staff, a campus committed to excellence and, most importantly, hard-working student-athletes, we are poised for great success. With the assistance of an experienced search firm, we will immediately launch a national search for a new Director of Athletics who shares our values, our vision and our passion for Shocker sports and will work expediently but diligently to identify a new leader of our athletics program. I look forward to introducing our new leader of our Department of Athletics, who will elevate us to unprecedented heights.

Sincerely,

Dr. Richard Muma
President

On a personal level, I think Bob has always been a Jayhawk fan. I’m sure he’d enjoy seeing WSU flounder into irrelevancy.

What good was another year going to do? When there is a colossal shift in college athletics and you aren’t being proactive, that’s a fireable offense.

His release says all of the right things.

Best 25 dollars I have ever spent. Congrats to all Go shocks

Boatright gave Bob a parking pass at the other end of campus so he owes him that.

Very promising statement ... actions will matter more than words .. but that's exactly the type of statement I would hope would come out of this. Recognizing the parts that were failures, identifying how key athletics are to the success of the university, identifying an interim and using an external firm for the new hire.

[ShockerFever]

So is he fired for cause or does Boatright get his hard-earned raise still paid out?

Probably a media pass too….
