An epidemic of athletic director turnover has recently hit Idaho and the Northwest at large, and student-athletes are feeling the consequences.
Athletic directors oversee coaches, players and schedule events throughout university athletics.
With such a quick turnover in athletic directors in the Northwest, things could start looking ugly. Coaches and players might get away with actions that don’t follow the department’s regulations, events might fall apart without a strong management team and student athletes could be impacted.
This subject hits close to home at Idaho, months after former Athletic Director Rob Spear lost his job after complaints from former female athletes brought some mishandled sexual assault reports into light.
