They should be able to attract a lot of top talent in the country with all that is going on here. I also heard that Mack is sticking around a month or two to "advise" Hunter, which sounds like Hunter's not really in charge to me. Who was in charge of signing a one-and-done deal with Virginia Tech for 2015? A shame when you should be setting up deals with return games thanks to the stadium. Non-related: Mike, can you find out how much Akron is getting to play Penn State? Wisconsin payed UA $600,000 last year and I would be disappointed if PSU didn't pay Akron a good chunk of change more than that given the circumstances the game was scheduled under (Akron was a last-minute emergency scheduling when another team backed out on them). They should have been able to work them for a nice sum of money. They are conducting a national search to find a new AD.
