In his weekly Monday press conference, WKU head coach Mike Sanford announced some non-football related news that wasn't exactly expected. First year WKU offensive line coach Geoff Dartt is recovering from brain surgery he had on Oct. 13, one day before the Hilltoppers' homecoming game against Charlotte.
Dartt was originally diagnosed with vertigo after he noticed some balance and dizziness issues through the first six weeks of the season, according to Sanford. At the request of the team athletic trainer Bryan Schneider and Dartt's wife Jan, Dartt had an MRI that revealed two brain tumors and had a successful operation a few days after the MRI results.
