Hank Bounds Stepping Down


Recommended Posts



After reading the World Herold article sounds like he is fed up with the state and wants to move back closer to family.

Edit: And he basically got slapped in the face when he was given a contract extension thru 2023 with NO RAISE. 

 

I'd go elsewhere too.

I really hope this has absolutely nothing to do with anything in the athletic department. 

 

Big blow to the university. 

While Bounds has been living in Lincoln, he oversees the entire University of Nebraska system, not just UNL.  Yes, he does have input on NU Athletic Department business, I don't think it's AD related.

My first thought is this is related to the "Discontent in the AD" rumors

That's what my gut tells me too. Could be totally unrelated. But in my interactions with Bounds he has always came across as a genuine man who wouldn't budge an inch in the arena of integrity. 

 

That, along with the interesting timing regarding our hoops situation and the past few weeks, it doesn't look great. 

 

Then again, it could just be he's ready to move on.
