(Update No. 2: Luck will take office July 1 and immediately begin a six-month transition and he’ll apparently be full-time Jan. 1. I say apparently because he’s helping Houston build a new soccer stadium and nothing is guaranteed in building projects. This one is funded by a city/county commission.

And yes, both Luck and Jim Clements know there’s a lot happening on the college landscape today. Neither seems critically worried Luck’s split-employment will get WVU lost in the expansion era.

Luck said it’s too early to have an on-campus schedule — ie, one weekekend month, three weeks a month, etc. — but said “I guaranteee I’ll be in Morgantown a considerable amount of time through the transition period.”

Lastly, Luck will make $390,000 per year. No one else interviewed for the job and Luck praised Clements as a recruiter. Luck seems to have needed and taken time to find a way to make the move work.)

(Update: It’s official now. Has been for a few hours but those hours have been spent figuring a few things out. There’s a conference call at 1o a.m. and a press conference Monday. Two things we must ask about: 1) Did things chage in the past seven to 10 days? 2) What is Luck’s first day on the job?)

In past getaways, we had Larry Aschebrooke news and Doc Holliday’s departure. Now we’re getting Nebraska in the Big “Ten” as the first piece of a puzzle that’s going to come together extraordinarily fast now. As if that wasn’t enough, it’s looking like Oliver Luck, who last week almost certainly wasn’t going to be the WVU AD, will be the WVU AD.

So Wednesday was, uh, interesting for me and my MotoQ. I’m back at it today, eschewing golf to get to the bottom of a few things.
