Follow The Leader - Boise State Athletics
Boise State dismissed its athletic director, Gene Bleymaier, last week in the wake of an NCAA investigation.
President Bob Kustra stated, "... I determined that new leadership will be needed as we commit ourselves to the highest level of attention and enforcement of NCAA standards, and also continue to move Boise State athletics to the next level of success."
"... his decision is predicated on the confidence level he believes he needs to have as president in the university's compliance operations during an NCAA probationary period," Bleymaier said.
Nevada President Marc Johnson needs to take a page or two from its highly successful peer institution.
Nevada is in the midst of its own NCAA probationary period and is in an especially dangerous position in light of the newly reported NCAA and criminal violations of Athletic Director Cary Groth.
President Johnson, the NCAA, the Mountain West Conference, and the WAC are informed. Will Johnson jeopardize the future of Nevada athletics or will he act like a leader with ethical standards?

By the way, the University of Illinois hired an Athletic Director last week and it was not Groth. Groth was said to be going hard after that position.
Pssst...an NCAA official said that she had no chance as Groth's behavioral issues are widely known throughout the NCAA.
