Friday Feedback
May 28, 2010 by Mike CasazzaWelcome to the Friday Feedback, which is happy for a three-day weekend if for no other reason than added time to find things to write about. We’re in the thinnest time of the year on the athletic calendar, but today ends the week that precedes the last week in that cycle.
Oh, it’ll be slow in other spots, but this time between … pre-graduation to freshman football arrivals is typically uneventful. Unless someone gets arrested for fighting or driving the wrong way on a one-way street or just up and decides to change his/her mind about a future at WVU.
Not to say nothing is happening, though I get a sense what is happening is nothing people want to really discuss. No offense baseball or women’s track and field. Kudos on those accomplishments.
Beyond that scope, though, are other things. The AD search is a little tired by now. Mere mention of the NCAA visit seems to ruffle a lot of feathers — is it just me, or is it the heat, or are people are really bothered by that? I guess we’re supposed to think nothing bad can happen to WVU or that we media are to stand on one side in the conflict and steadfastly protect it while, if given the chance, lobbing a few grenades at the other.
Anyhow, before long we’ll be talking about what freshmen look good, who’s signing that final letter-of-intent with the basketball team, the Bob Huggins fantasy camp and maybe even how the new AD is adjusting.
He did note that the June 30 end date in Pastilong’s contract is approaching and WVU has everything in place to make a hire before then.
Clements said the university doesn’t have to name the next AD by that date but still is moving toward that goal.
“We have a deadline for the search, and we know (Pastilong’s) current agreement goes through June 30,” Clements said. “He’s a good guy and he’s done a great job and he said he’d help as needed and he means it, but at the same time the search is going forward.”
Onto the Feedback. As always, comments appear as posted. In other words, sometimes it’s nun-ya business.

Mike, we are definitely in the slow summer-ish sports period when your blog entry centers on WVU baseball…
…or I could leave it blank for a day?
