Lee Fowler
Debbie Yow is watching, waiting
The News & Observer has this article today that comes on the heels of Debbie Yow’s local radio appearance earlier in the week. This link is most definitely a pre-requisite to today’s article as the two entries fit together like hand and glove. In her first year as N.C. State’s athletic director, she’s focused on […]

“No matter what you think about Lee personally, he couldn’t be trusted to run another search for either football or men’s basketball,†a source close to the situation said. “That (2006 search) was an embarrassment for everyone associated with N.C. State, and I think it will remain Lee’s most identifying moment. And that’s just not […]

Bill Friday, “Fowler Fan”
Over the weekend, the News & Observer ran a fairly interesting piece about the rising costs of running athletic departments.
