maybe not having the athletics experience in admin will be a plus, yes that's a learning curve, and we have no idea the emphasis he'll place on
it's up to the Alumni and Boosters to help the case for emphasis. Smitherin has a new boss, so that's a new dynamic. I did like the interim President. I think it turned out well to have a bridge from JC's tenure. Hopefully so there was no or little interaction with Jane, who provided no leadership. mush.

I like him thus far! He’s a former 1st Gen student leading a campus with a massive 1st Gen population. Now if he supports athletics in a decent way (nearly anything is decent compared to JCC!), he’ll be perfect! I’m very hopeful!

Loren Blanchard was introduced as the new president today. Currently, is president of the Univ. of Houston - Downtown. He'll be taking over on May 1, 2026. Sure hope he's a big supporter of athletics.
