Wanless shopping......

At his age I'd think that if Sac State had any small chance of moving to the WAC or FBS Wanless would retire after helping the school through the process. But this indicates that Wanless is indeed shopping around, probably because the program has failed to gain new donors and expand for growth. At a certain point, you throw your hands up and walk away. In this case, look for another job.


Georgia AD job drew 88 applicants
4:43 pm August 18, 2010, by Tim Tucker

By the time Georgia hired Greg McGarity as its athletic director, 88 people had applied for the position, many of them with little or no experience in sports management.

Georgia released the full list of applicants Wednesday morning in response to an open-records request from the AJC.

Forty-nine of the names, including McGarity’s, were released Aug. 5 in response to a previous request by the AJC.

New names on the latest list included former Georgia football player Matt Stinchcomb, Missouri executive associate athletic director Whit Babcock and Sacramento State athletic director Terry Wanless.
 
Who wouldn't apply for the AD job at an SEC school?!?

By the time Georgia hired Greg McGarity as its athletic director, 88 people had applied for the position, many of them with little or no experience in sports management.

Think about it. A school that has tons of revenue that could be used for numerous pet projects, and a rabid fanbase that lives and breathes football. Not to mention the ridiculous pay increase he would have gotten. Hell if I knew about it I would have applied. :lol:
 
Your right, I guess I was looking at it from the perspective of being part of something monumental and working for a common goal. Which is what going FBS will bring: new challenges, facilities, etc.

At Georgia, you could probably put it in auto-pilot. He could make more of a difference here than in Athens. To some people that is more gratifying than the money.
