Amazing and insightful article. How many ADs in DI sports are able to articulate this very important issue in college sports? Not many. Most do not even care. AD Blue again proves what a classy person he is. We are very lucky to have him!

This is a very exciting time for Aggie Athletics under the leadership of Blue. He is obviously a very intelligent and logical thinker who has the entire program on a fast, upward trajectory. He is the perfect fit for us and we can only hope he stays long while.

He comes off as more intelligent and honest than many in the business. If he left for big money I wouldn’t blame him but then you could argue he’s participating in the very problem he describes. An interesting moral dilemma but we’ve all got our price. Curious if his career goal is ultimately in the AD world or in the academic world in the sports management field of study.

Can he make AD money doing research?
