It seems to be quite a compliment to the University of Delaware that the man sources have told The News Journal will be named athletic director today, Bernard Muir, is leaving a position that most would deem superior to the one he is accepting. Muir is presently the athletic director at Georgetown, a prestigious post for which he was chosen at age 36 after several years as a deputy AD at Notre Dame.
The Delaware AD job was widely viewed as very attractive in college athletic circles, and for UD to snare a man of Muir's pedigree, it truly is. It'll be interesting to hear him speak today about his reasons for leaving the Big East's Hoyas for the Colonial Athletic Association's Blue Hens...

Only interesting as far as mens basketball.
Take one sport away, and its a step up as a AD. If Muir wants to move on to bigger and better things, some legitimate football experience would be needed.

"Yes, well, Towson actually."
