From what I've seen, out of the latest chancellor changes in the UNC System, only the the recent change at UNC-A saw the interim promoted to full time chancellor.

It seems that any construction at KBS will happen after the 105 project (which is behind schedule and over budget) and the IPF (which seems to have its own funding issues) are completed. And of course all of these should be behind keeping Kearns (which should be our top priority). Rapid inflation h...

The students cared enough about the tunnels that App State Police have been seen constantly around them. This was after Everts called the pushback "insignificant."

Again, I think most are fine with the tunnels, as long as the expressing of ones self stays in the tunnels.

Referring to Everts stepping down? Just got email newsletter where she informed UNC System President she is stepping down! She was forced to do this but they let her save face here. I had heard this would happen in May or June so this is an early gift! Now we need to get a pro athletics chancellor....

free expression tunnels are SO back

As far as I saw, never communicated too much on that. Reasoning was it was spreading to too many sidewalks and buildings. Plus, gang graffiti has taken off across campus the last few years.

Just when you think the coaching carousel is done! I saw this late last night, but thought it was a rib. Nate Oats and Scott Drew are probably 1 and 2 for this one, can't wait to see the ripple effects from this job opening.

My question at this point is what job is Kerns taking?

One opening that Kearns was a finalist for that is open, but I'm not printing it. His name has come up a lot on their message board.

I don't want it to happen, and don't think it will, as they will have an abundance of candidates.

Should've been closed entirely to begin with.

We are going to do some renovations, which are needed. I don’t see the need for more capacity in these uncertain times unless the funding is guaranteed up front. This. Waiting to see how the stadium restrooms get renovated. We need to prioritize finishing 105, so Indoor can eventually begin. Then, ...

I'd have to look back, but if she does, that would be about the 6th chancellor in the state system to retire/resign over the last year.

Highly doubt Gillin leaves for Mizzou. Case of big fish, small pond. Kearns will have opportunities offers this off-season, no doubt.

If his contract is up at the end of the year, time to negotiate. Always good to have some leverage, or rumors floated to make leverage.

There are going to be winners and losers in all of this. I do hope App State is on the winning side in 40 or 50 years. My wife and I were discussing this tonight. Many smaller colleges up north are feeling the squeeze and either closing or merging with other small schools in an attempt to keep the ...

UNCA has a new chancellor, and I think we are up to 5 so far/upcoming in about the last 6 months.

What if Chesney gets the Boston College job??

I wonder if we could pull someone up from the FCS rankings, like a successful DC, that would still see a significant pay/resume bump by coming to App? Florida A&M had a top defense, ran by someone who has SEC ties. Just a thought.

Gotta hurt a little. No East expansion or new Indoor, yet. Does anyone know if we are the only SBC team without a full 100 yard indoor practice facility? I was told that before, but never looked into it.

Good God people, give it a rest. There are actual plans to expand to 40k, which is an understandable hot topic. What exactly are we giving a rest? Exactly! Plans are made. Seats are being sold. Give it a rest and let things play out. Quit arguing over how many angels fit on the head of a pin as anc...

I don't think the East side will be done by the N.C. State game, just a hunch.
