[UPDATE 1:07 PM Scott Westerberg, Sports Reporter for KCRG-TV9 in Cedar Rapids, IA is reporting that Troy Dannen, University of Northern Iowa Director of Athletics will be named the next Tulane Athletic Director this afternoon.
[UPDATE 12:44 PM] Multiple sources tell College AD that Tulane Deputy Director of Athletics/Chief Operating Officer Barbara Burke has not been in the Tulane Athletic Offices this week. “Burke was not involved with the volleyball firing (Sinisa Momic) or players meetings yesterday, that, and the fact it has taken this long leads me to think it is an external candidate,” said one of College AD’s sources. We’re unsure if that’s the case, but well keep you updated as we hear more.
Sources have informed College AD that an announcement naming the next Tulane Athletic Director could happen as early as today. If it is today, sources have confirmed to College AD that Baylor Deputy Athletic Director Todd Patulski is currently in Waco at the Baylor athletic offices. Patulski and Tulane Deputy Director of Athletics/Chief Operating Officer Barbara Burke are considered to be finalists for the position. But College AD has also heard some late “wildcard” names. College AD is working diligently to confirm or eliminate those “wildcard” candidates. We will update the situation as soon as more information becomes available.
