The deal for Kraft to Happy Valley is supposed to wrap up this week - This will be 4 AD'S at BC since 2017 - HC competing for the same revolving door prize for Athletic administration instability

What about Kit Hughes? Are you saying BC would grab him or that he'll leave HC for somewhere else soon?
That would be #@*&$~!ty for BC if the last two ADs have been the AD equivalent of one-and-done hoop players.

When I first took at quick look at the guy's picture I thought I was looking at a young Pete Rose.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_KraftShort tenure at BC, if the rumor is correct. Kraft became the BC AD in 2020. As previously mentioned, it appears as if the recent revolving door in the AD spot is not unique to HC.

That would be #@*&$~!ty for BC if the last two ADs have been the AD equivalent of one-and-done hoop players. If BC grabs Kit, we'll just put hair dye on the draft Ronnie and draft Gordie movements and tee up another search. The revolving door reveals the star AD is less important than Schools think. Much of the actual work gets done by the permanent bureaucracy who stay long enough to know what they're doing. An example would be the two co-interim ADs securing the first round home field bid for HC's close victory over SHU at Fitton Field in the FCS playoffs. While there was no mention of bidding for the first round WNIT game that I saw, Kit did not secure home court for that game. Not a huge deal, but having a front man didn't add any benefit in that case. |

BC job. "Dream of a lifetime." "Feel I have returned home." Yada, yada.
Of course, the huge salary increase has little bearing on the choice.

BC is not hiring Kit Hughes. The retiring AD at PSU brought Nate Pine to Cal Berkeley. So to play musical chairs, NP has a far better chance of becoming AD at BC than Kit Hughes does.

Using that logic, NP had a far better chance of becoming AD at PSU than BC. I agree with your assertion that BC is not hiring Kit. He would have little gravitas in the ACC. |

Kraft was an AD at a school one cut below BC.
Neither Kit nor Blossom is much of a candidate for BC, but, yes, I'd go w/Ray if I had to choose between the two.

Why does he say "Stuck with?". Wouldn't another neighbor of NB, BU take this deal if offered? The press release makes it sound more comprehensive than most apparel sponsorship deals that don't come with access to facilities. |
