Late Sunday, the picture cleared and most everyone at WVU expects today to see Shane Lyons named the next athletic director.

All things considered, hard to do better than that, and the Mountaineers honed in on Lyons with two meetings in the past three weeks, including a weekend trip to campus with the family that seemed to tip the scales.

And can you guess who’ll be on campus with Lyons? Karl Joseph!

I’m off to Lubbock. We’ll talk more there about how and why the Mountaineers have been so good away from home.
