Huge loss for Campbell and wrestlers.  With the uncertainty of the program it will be a hard sell for coach coming in.

This would be ample opportunity for someone young, who might be able to swing a big stick.

Think a 'Michael Kemerer' or 'Hayden Hidlay' type guy.

Someone who could 'slink' back and become a top assistant somewhere else, were the program to be cut.

Can’t imagine getting the call from the coach to say we’re our wrestling program. That suc*s!

they aren't cutting the program, but it's a challenging job w/ having to fundraise to stay competitive. 

hope someone good embraces it.

What sort of real world business experience does Sentes have? Honest question, not trying to throw shade or anything bc I like the guy. I'm sure Sentes has a great network and can very speak well on behalf of wrestlers, but it seems useful for an Executive Director of the WIBN to also have a solid firsthand understanding of the business & corporate world. Maybe I'm missing something, but I thought he went right from competing into coaching. Either way, it's a pretty big loss for Campbell.

If it's just a networking group, then the organizer doesn't need business experience. Just needs to be a connector to facilitate other business people into interacting with each other.

Nice post.  Great to see they survived.

New President cleaned house on athletic department leadership and openly stated he wants the new AD to make Campbell legit again
