OPINION: Golden’s secret sauce: What the new prez could bring to athletics

Jay Golden, the new president of Wichita State University, answers questions from members of the press on Thursday, Oct. 31 in the Rhatigan Student Center. Golden previously served as the vice chancellor for the Division of Research, Economic Development and Engagement at East Carolina University.

Last Thursday, the campus community was introduced to Jay Golden, the university’s 14th president.

Golden, who comes from East Carolina University, stated in his opening press conference that the university’s secret sauce will be continuing “the legacy of late President John Bardo.” Golden was mainly focusing his speech on academics and the development of Innovation Campus, but what if statements hint at continuing Bardo’s legacy for sports as well?
