I like all of those candidates! I like the ones from the "big schools". They should have some contacts and maybe can use their former schools to help us out (hint hint, home and home Football game with the Sooners!)

Markus, check your email.

My vote is definitely for Hart. He seems head and shoulders above the rest. I like his marketing/branding experience. Look at the stuff on marketing, internet, radio, corporate sponsorships etc. we are going to really need to keep improving in those areas. I also like his "big school" and state connections. I don't see us playing the Sooners in a home-home, but a trip there wouldn't hurt. He started in AD at UNC, a team we could seriously seek a home-home matchup with. Also his dad is at FSU. FL,NC,OK = three states to spread our name to.

Hart for AD.

I heard Zenger was being looked at seriously. I heard a convo while in the Field House. But, I'm not sure for sure.
