The Cougars AD, Dan Schumacher, announced his resignation effective June 13, 2014. He will be taking over the same position at UW-Eau Claire and I wish him the best.
It's definitely hard to see him go because he has done so much for Cougar athletics and academics in such a short time. We can only hope the school finds someone that can continue where Mr. Schumacher left off. The next thing that needs to be done is increase Cougar exposure. Hopefully an agreement can be made with one of the regional sports networks for the upcoming season. I know this is something Mr. Schumacher was working on and it will be key part of the continued improvement of the athletic programs. Nino Berticelli is named as the Interim Director of Athletics, and a committee will be established to conduct a nationwide search for a permanent replacement.
