Finalists named for athletic director position
President Sidney A. Ribeau has announced that Whit Babcock, assistant athletic director and executive director of development
at West Virginia University, and Greg Christopher, associate athletic director for external relations and the John Purdue
Club at Purdue University, are the two finalists for the position of director of athletics at BGSU. The University is seeking
a replacement for Paul Krebs, who accepted a similar position at the University of New Mexico on March 13.
"I believe we have two outstanding individuals who offer a great deal to our institution and our community," said Ribeau.
"Both have been successful in establishing the type of relationships you need to advance and lead an athletic program, and
both have played a key role in the success of their respective institutions."
A decision on the position is expected soon, following campus visits by the two finalists. Applications and nominations were
received by Neinas Sports Services of Boulder, Colo., which assisted in the screening process and worked with Ribeau and Dr.
Ed Whipple, vice president for student affairs and acting athletic director.
