Trustees get their guy: Mike Bobinski
Purdue probably listened to the groans of potentially hiring from inside the Athletic Department or from the Trustees...so good move there. They hired right in between - a safe-ish, uninspiring AD that wasn't as bad as some of the candidates and wasn't even close to many of the positive scenarios.
A Legacy of Less
2015-16 NACDA standings are out, and they tell us the same story we've heard every year under Morgan Burke: he delivers less than he promises. How much less? Dig in to find out.

Just Stop About Kevin Sumlin Coming to Purdue
Sometimes when an insane rumor gets some semblance of legs, it’s interesting to trace back where it came from.
Football Success Can Be Defined In Ways You’re Not Smart Enough to Understand
I get a little tired of every remark Morgan Burke and others within Purdue athletics makes being a shot at fans and alums who simply want to see a non-disappointing football product once in a while.
