While students were nestled all snug in their beds over Christmas break, changes were being made in the Charlotte 49ers Athletic Department. From coaching hiring, firing, retiring and more, here’s a run-down of what happened while you were out.
Rose announces her retirement
The Thursday before classes resumed it was announced that Director of Athletics, Judy Rose, will retire after the conclusion of the Spring Semester. This announcement came after protest from the Charlotte fan base from a dismal football season and sudden firing of men’s basketball coach Mark Price.
Rose was in her 43rd year with the 49ers and this was her 28th year serving as the Athletic Director.
