Pete Thamel first reported that BC is close to hiring former Miami AD Blake James as our new Athletic Director.

Even considering the Miami fans' reaction, I am fine with the hire. Here is why.

Football has been king in college sports for decades, but now even at BC, football is 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in focus and mindset.
