Alabama has hired Greg Byrne, long considered an up-and-comer in collegiate athletics, to replace current AD and Crimson Tide alum Bill Battle. By all accounts, it’s considered a great hire.
So why are we writing about this on a USF blog?
Mark Harlan is an Arizona alum. Bachelors and masters degrees. And his alma mater is a PAC-12 job with things like “money” and “budgets” and “fan support” on a much larger scale than what USF has to offer. We wouldn’t blame him one bit if he took the job. When home calls, you always have to listen.
