So apparently Paul Meyers resigned, again

[74Hunter]

The last time he did that was just before Pud got whacked. Problems in the administration again?

Probably best to hang tight on this one.

Boy, couple this with the struggle to get tickets sold, this could be a troubling sign.

Howard Hawks, chairman of the NU Board of Regents and significant donor, had just seen Meyers at the Big Ten baseball tournament in Omaha but wasn't aware Meyers was departing his post until reading about it Wednesday.

"New executives get to make new decisions. That's an obvious fact," Hawks said. "Quite frankly, from a personal standpoint, my view would be he will leave a hole that they will not fill with one other person."

...this with his son signed on to play baseball for Nebraska. Kind of an odd time to leave your position.

Probably getting promoted somewhere.

To an AD? Where? Not exactly a lot of those popping up this time of year. Chicago State? Citadel?

Anything I say would be nothing more than an educated guess. But I wouldn't be shocked if he resurfaced at a XII school or something.

Lincoln Journal-Star reports that Nebraska associate athletic director Paul Meyers is no longer in his role as chief fundraiser for the athletic department. Also, Ohio University has hired NU's associate athletic director for marketing Michael Stephens as senior athletic director for external operations. For an athletic department that prides itself on continuity, two major high level departures are eyebrow-raising.

Remember this from February also...

Pelini now reporting to new NU administrator

Steve Waterfield, who joined the Nebraska athletic department in July as a senior associate athletic director, is now serving as the sports administrator for football, replacing Jamie Williams.

Unsure what Pelini will say officially, if anything, but Paul Meyers' resignation is tough news for Pelini. Meyers was a confidant of Bo's.

Take it FWIW but Stephens is taking a decent step up - albeit to a smaller school - so that would probably be considered a promotion. Not sure if the two are related.

If what I'm hearing is accurate, this does not shock me one bit.

Please, do not go on.
