With news breaking today that Boston College Athletic Director Brad Bates stepping down in June, the next logical step is to start talking about his replacement. Of course there will be loads of rumors floating around, and writers who will be pronouncing every possible candidate the next AD.

Clearly both the football team and basketball team are not where they need to be. You can argue that they have progressed since last year, but in the grand scheme of things they still aren’t competitive in the ACC, and worse off they are losing fans by the droves.
