It was great talking to him. He seemed very personable and driven. It will be fun to see what his first moves are. I do know the President of the university is very excited. He has young kids so will be a big part of the community.
I'm sure stadium improvements and NIL are at the top of his list. Have you taken a look at SDSU's football facilities?
Not yet but I hope those improvements are high on his list. Now will the pocket books open up?
getting the project shovel ready. And with the governor race going on and talk of downsizing the University system in Ohio. We should probably move fast!

Awesome, will they have shovels for all of us on this message board?

In the press conference Slade didn't recognize any differences between the two jobs but could only see similarities. The climate of Brookings, SD might as well be in Canada. Athens has almost a mid south climate. South Dakota has tremendous natural sites but Brookings is 25 minutes from a state park. Athens has Strouds Run in its city limits and locally with all the parks and Hocking Hills is better for hiking. Brookings has nicer museum, South Dakota Art Museum has 7,000 pieces of art. South Dakota arboretium is also quite lovely.

For city access Minneapolis is 3 and a half hours away with no direct highway. From the north end of Athens the Columbus suburbs are only 50 miles away and at 70 mph up US 33 it takes barley 45 minutes. Friday night before the WVU game we drove up to the german village in Columbus for dinner in an hour or so from Athens. Easily from Athens one could be up to Columbus for a night out or a day trip once a month.
Sioux Falls in just a few miles down the road. No need to drive to MN for big city action.

Omaha is about 3.5 hours directly south of Brookings straight down I-29 with no back roads.
