Are you trying to fool us, Jon? There's something goofy about that second link....

No decision is being made today. Just recommendations from the interim president. Board will decide in June.

Word on the street and opinions from some low friends in high places:

The president will recommend staying at DI.

Schedules, recruiting, new coaching hires (assistants) would agree.

“ Just my wild guess is that it will be a whole lot of the past 30 years. They will stay DI, reduce the budget, demand more fundraising and revenue, forgive the existing debt as I don't think they can cover it and still move forward. Need a new AD stat!”

The firing of Bodnar (very successful soccer coach) has many calling for the AD’s head.

Could a new AD possibly bring back that fired coach? Would that coach WANT to come back?

If we remain, I fully expect you to make it up for a game and some Palouse ornithology.

No clue. There was no cause given. He won 3 BSC championships with two NCAA tournament appearances in 5 years. Lost to USC in OT the year the Trojans won it all. Team GPA of 3.6.

Me-too’d?

Sharp tailed grouse. They’re endangered buddy to loss of habitat. They’ve reintroduced them about a half hour from here in the channeled scablands.
