Yeah, they'll have them both up there and the one that doesnt get picked will get slimed nickelodeon style.

I was hoping for a physical challenege to determine the winner.

What a racist decision.

 

[Cyclonepride]

It's good to see that my poor predictions skills extend beyond the sporting world.

 

[CyBer]

I think it came down to how long both of them said that they wanted to be here for....Leath said 10+ years, and Subbaswamy said 8 or more. When I read an article on KCCI it said they wanted someone around for 10+ years.

I was listening to the stream of the Regents meeting online. They voted unanimously for Leath.

Good job outta you!

I wish we could hear JP's opinion on which was better from an athletics standpoint.

There's probably folks here who know which candidate (if any) the AD preferred...

 

[chuckd4735]

Does anyone know if they were asked about athletics in the forums and/or what they said?

 

[Im4State]

Leath has lots of experience in Ag plus he went to Penn State when Geoffrey was a Chem prof! hmmmm CONSPIRACY!!! haha

From his SDSU interview:

Like fellow finalist Elliot Hirshman, the No. 2 official at the University of Maryland Baltimore County who addressed the public Monday, Leath expressed his support for college athletics.

“How do we bring people to the door of San Diego State University to tell our story?â€￾ Leath asked. “One of the ways you do that is through athletics.â€￾
