PSAC Commissioner Steve Murray sits down with The Add/Drop Podcast on league-wide efforts and the higher education landscape. Asked about the PSAC’s social justice task force, Murray notes the initiatives include simple efforts like PA announcements and election day activities and more complex actions, like examining the applicant and interview pools for HC and AC openings to "See if we can see trends, who's improving their trends in applications. We asked about what the diversity of the selection pool is versus the interview pool and are there are there committees that look better than others, and is that a direct result of maybe having some more diversity being hired." Further: “I frankly, have told our presidents that you know, I'm probably not long for this career after being involved in college athletics coming on 40 years, this is going to be the impact I'm going to make in our conference.” On the pair of institutional consolidations around the league at PennWest and Commonwealth University, Murray believes this setup will be less uncommon given the challenges around higher education and the ability to remain viable by sharing costs across multiple campuses, adding: “There are institutions closing around the country. Not so much with publics yet, privates certainly are closing. I don't think it will be necessary long before you see some publics. I think I have to give the state system here credit for taking a crack at it and looking at it. It's not a perfect system. I think it's going to take a generation probably to iron out all the bugs from what I can gather, but from our standpoint in athletics, from the conference standpoint, I should say, it's gone fairly smoothly.” (link)

Pittsburg State Football HC Brian Wright departs for the same position at Northern Arizona (DI) and will be succeeded by former Gorillas Assoc. HC Tom Anthony. AD Jim Johnson: “We are tremendously excited to 'pass the torch' to Tom Anthony to lead the Pitt State program moving forward. Tom's passion for the game and his expertise was evident immediately when he joined Coach Wright's staff. His intimate knowledge of our current staff and players positions him to continue to build upon our past successes in 2024 and beyond.” (link)
