NN, this was just an invention of your own?
If so, it created a conversation regarding what type of leadership and direction some of us board regulars would like for LB State. The consensus appears to be a "Bob Maxson type". I think that going with an "athletics first" type of leader would be folly in the day of NIL - the school simply isn't competitive, however I want the next president to have pride in and to pursue excellence and staff retention for athletics, in the face of the most challenging environment ever faced for LB State athletics. Bring in and try to keep excellent, successful coaches, and if they leave for NIL $$, so be it. To borrow from Mike Tomlin: Next "man" up.

Nothing on her leaving for LBSU as just a joke on how everyone from SDSU is being chosen by our AD to run things. Previous Message
I am wondering though why she would be interested in making the move, currently SDSU is a better job, it is clearly the flagship of the CSU system right now both athletically and academically. Previous Message
I agree on De La Torre Previous Message
The current President of San Diego State was a faculty member at Long Beach when Bob Maxson became President. She's very familiar with his style of leadership.
She has done a good job at San Diego so far imo. Unlike Jane, she didn't cave to the pressure from students to change the school mascot, and kept it as the Aztecs. Previous Message
