I think she is now Assistant to the AD or something of that sort. We hired a WCU alum who was over the Bulldog Club at Gardner-Webb to take over Catamount Club. Who did they hire?

His name is Wes Cogdill. He did undergrad at Gardner-Webb and then got his teaching certificate from WCU - I’m assuming online?
Chancellor announced it today along with more realignment. Catamount Club is moving under university advancements oversight.

Did they do a press release? So AG does not control the CC anymore?

That’s a puff piece…I could be wrong but I think he was their first director. Their booster club is only a few years old. It’s easy to set a record when you’re the first. Hoping he’s a good fit though! Glad we hired someone with at least a little experience.

This means the university pays their salaries now and that money is freed up in athletics. I think that is a big part of it. It’s good because now we can pay people more. Not great because how did our AD lose control so badly the Chancellor had to step in. The Chancellor sent out a memo to staff yesterday. I imagine the PR is coming. He starts this coming Tuesday.
