ALTOONA, Pa. -- It's been a very busy week already for Penn State, with the biggest news arriving early Tuesday morning with word that the school is getting close to hiring a new athletic director.
ESPN's Pete Thamel reported today that Boston College's Patrick Kraft will be Penn State's new AD, with the hiring "expected to be finalized by the end of the week." The school is looking to replace Sandy Barbour, who is set to retire.
Kraft has been the AD at Boston College the past two years, and was AD at Temple for seven years prior to that.
