I am going to begin by posting athletic director Morgan Burke's letter verbatim:
I want to make you aware of an announcement that President Daniels will be making today.
Last summer, I informed the president that when the calendar flipped to 2016, I would be 18 months shy of my retirement date of June 30, 2017, and at that time Kate and I would head back into the stands. I encouraged him to begin having discussions with the Board of Trustees on a plan for selecting my successor. Today, he will announce that such a process will commence.
