Who Should Be The Next WSU AD? Six Names Betsy Cantwell Should Call

Image
WSU fired Anne McCoy on November 12th, in a move that was surprising to most Cougs. The move signals that WSU president Betsey Cantwell was not happy with the direction that the athletic department was heading. Cantwell has been vocal about the fundraising issues that have hurt the athletic department and it is widely believed that she will look for someone with proven fundraising chops. In this article I provide six names that I think WSU and Cantwell should talk to about the job.  Don Miller (CEO GESA Credit Union) An outside the box idea, Don Miller the current CEO of GESA Credit Union is a graduate of WSU and has been the CEO of GESA Credit Union since 2013. He has worked for GESA for his entire career and has helped grow GESA into one of the biggest credit unions in the United States.  While he has worked for GESA his entire career and has no experience in any athletic department, his ability to help grow GESA has been impressive and a businessman may be just what WSU nee...

Pac12 Power Rankings After Week 11

SDSU (#1 last week) SDSU stays in the number one spot this week despite a tough loss to Hawaii last week. The loss likely knocked SDSU out of a chance to make the College Football Playoff but SDSU still has plenty to play for this year and they still have a real chance to win 10 games. SDSU will host Boise State on Saturday night in a game where the winner will likely host the Mountain West championship game.  Fresno State (#2 last week) Fresno State stays in the number two spot coming out of their bye week. Fresno State sits at 6-3 on the year and still has a real chance to play in the Mountain West championship game. Fresno State has made it through the toughest part of their schedule and closes the year with games against Wyoming, Utah State and SJSU.  Boise State (#3 last week) Boise State is coming off of a much needed bye week coming off of a bad loss to Fresno State at home. Boise State has a massive game on Saturday night against SDSU, in what is a must win game for Bo...

Pac12 Power Rankings After Week 10

SDSU (#2 last week) SDSU sits at number 1 in this week's power rankings after beating Wyoming 24-7. SDSU continues to give itself a real chance to make the College Football Playoffs if they can win out. SDSU has what some may consider a trap game against Hawaii this week before a really big game against Boise State on November 15th.  Fresno State (#4 last week) Fresno State jumps all the way up to the number two spot in this week's power rankings after beating Boise State last week. Not only did Fresno State beat Boise State they walked into Boise and dominated the Broncos. Fresno State will get a well deserved bye week before facing off against Wyoming on November 15th.  Boise State (#1 last week) Boise State slides all the way to the three spot after an embarrassing loss to Fresno State at home. Boise State still has a shot to win a Mountain West title but the loss to Fresno State has to be eye opening for Boise State. It is no secret that Boise State has not had the same su...

Pac12 Power Rankings After Week 9

For the first time this season, not a single team changed spots on this week's rankings. The top 3 schools, Boise State, SDSU and WSU have really begun to separate themselves as the class of the Pac12 this year. SDSU and Boise State both still have real chances to make the College Football Playoff, with their game against each other serving as a type of elimination game.  Boise State (#1 last week) Boise State stays in the number 1 spot after beating Nevada 24-3 on Friday night. While Boise State fans may have liked to see a more complete performance from the team, you can never complain about a conference road win. Boise State gets Fresno State at home this week before a massive game at SDSU on November 15th. SDSU (#2 last week) SDSU stays in the number 2 spot this week but has a real claim that they should be number 1 on the list. SDSU shut out Fresno State 23-0 to earn their 3rd shutout win of the season. Of all the schools on this list SDSU currently has the best chance to make...

Pac12 Power Rankings After Week 7

There is a lot of movement especially in the top half of this week's power rankings. Boise State moves back into the number 1 spot for the first time since the preseason power rankings. Colorado State also gets itself out of the number 7 spot with a big win over Fresno State.  Boise State (#2 last week) Boise State moves back into the number 1 spot after starting the season in the number 1 spot. Boise State has earned the spot back after beating New Mexico 41-25. Boise State has a big time clash with UNLV for what will likely determine who will host the Mountain West championship game.  SDSU (#4 last week) SDSU moves into the number 2 spot after another dominant win this week. SDSU beat Nevada 44-10. SDSU looks poised to make a serious run at a Mountain West title. SDSU will have the week off before they play Fresno State next week.
