Darron Boatright Enters Transfer Portal

[SB Shock]

While I think you are joking, I wonder if this outcry did cause an unacceptable reaction on his part.

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

Very well written with balance to both sides. Well done.

Yeah my money is on DB throwing in the towel, not actually being fired.

What I meant was some sort of reaction to this that wasn’t conducive to the behavior of a department leader.

Wild guess.

I know you are cheap but you can subscribe to just the WSU (i.e. the Taylor stories) section for like 5 bucks a month .. well worth supporting Taylor.

Do you have a link for that?

What I am seeing on the Wichita Eagle website is a Sport Pass for $12.99 per month. May as well by a full digital subscription.

We'll know more if he has to go to court to attempt to collect the rest of his contract.

I think 1 and 2 with direct comments around not renewing due to DB are key too

... and the 'two page' letter from SHOXAAC (and others) might have been a factor... when you don't renew season tickets after having them since 1965 tends to get people's attention.

Well orchestrated effort SSS!! I’m thrilled the door has opened to changing the trajectory of the athletic department. I have very low/no confidence in Muma’s ability to head up an AD search and get it right. This needs to be handled by savvy business people who are passionate about Shocker sports, not a slug that would rather be under a rock. WSU needs a forward-thinking visionary who is transparent and aggressive to creating the best venues, training facilities and fan atmospheres we can. Start with basketball weight training and Wilkins and go from there. Let’s Go!

I just looked and that's the same title as the subscription I have for 5.99... they must have realized the only useful thing in the eagle is Taylor and jacked the price up.

Shoutout from the KWCH web site - Wichita State fires athletic director Darron Boatright - https://www.kwch.com/2022/05/04/wich...ron-boatright/

Recently, a group called Save Shocker Sports purchased billboard advertising calling for Boatright’s firing. The group claimed Boatright and other members of the administration had “fallen behind on a number of things - (name, image, likeness) deals, athletic department transparency, facilities, and fundraising to name a few.”

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 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.

OGR for AD!!!!
