Drake AD to Elon

[Bub]

Drake's AD, Dave Blank is leaving Drake to become the AD at Elon. Drake's athletic budget is $9.4 mil, Elon's is $6.4. Before coming to Drake he was at CCU. He's from SC area and wanted to get back home. He did some good things at Drake, hired Tom Davis as the BB coach,oversaw the $13 million renovations to Drake Stadium and got the Drake-UNI football game going again. Not bad at all, still he was primarily a basketball guy, hopefully we can get a football guy. Wish him the best.

Drake football is the program that wins at the school. It's about time someone at Drake noticed and starts supporting that program. Perhaps get rid of the SID (who is not sure what football is) and start marketing the program better...

Thanks for the info. Sounds like he has done a very good job at Drake. Do you know what the budget was before he took over at Drake?
