Rich Americans are getting richer, but not all equally. The K-shaped split that let high earners pull away from low earners now cuts through the top 1% too, with the ultra-rich far ahead of the rest.
The average household in the top 0.1% is now worth about $204 million, or 7.7 times as much as one in the rest of the top 1%, according to a Fortune ******* ysis of Federal Reserve data. That ratio is the highest in the Fed's quarterly series going back to 1989, up from 6.2 times at the end of 2019. Currently, the Fed counts 136,779 households in the top 0.1%
The top 0.1%'s wealth has more than doubled since the end of 2019, from $13.4 trillion to nearly $28 trillion in the second quarter of 2026. Over the same period, the rest of the top 1% saw its wealth grow 68%, from $19.3 trillion to $32.5 trillion. The top 0.1% now holds 15% of the nation's household wealth, up 0.5 percentage point since the first quarter.
"We are talking about continued redistribution upward and further concentration of wealth at the top," Markus Schneider, an ******* ociate professor of economics at the University of Denver, told Fortune.
The clearest difference between the two groups is what they own.

Kansas State (1-0) takes on Washington State (0-1) in the first ever meeting between the schools. Kickoff is scheduled for 11 AM on Fort Riley Day at Bill Snyder Family Stadium and the game will be broadcast on TNT. As usual, all these details and much more can be found in Jon Morse's How To Watch post.
In the opener for both teams, Wazzu lost to Washington 24-10 in a much-too-early edition of the Apple Cup. Wazzu struggled on offense, though the score might have been closer if not for a couple of missed field goals and a couple of interceptions by transfer QB Cade Pinnick. Washington State's defense definitely had its moments, however. If you're like me, you probably missed the game in its entirety. Luckily, we have Drew Schneider on hand to break it all down.
The general gist seems to be that Wazzu may not be the best team on the Wildcats' schedule this year, but Kansas State overlooks the Cougars at its own peril. As Collin Klein himself noted, Pinnick can do some damage with his legs and K-State's defense seemed ever-so-slightly suspect against the run in the blowout win over Nicholls. There's also Wazzu's defense to consider, which managed to get a key 4th down stop on the goal line against Washington, thanks to stalwarts like Keith Brown, a linebacker who missed all of last season with injury and is now the teammate's de facto standard bearer.
I don't pay a lot of attention to fan Q&As, but there are some interesting tidbits in Kellis Robinett's weekly mailbag, including that Klein's recruiting philosophy is that every player is merely leasing a roster spot until someone beats them out of it. Competition is constant is apparently CK's mantra. See? There is only football.

With the Beechwood Tigers' 41-0 win over Simon Kenton, head coach Noel Rash earned the 200th win of his career. He has a career record of 200-53.
Rash is already Beechwood's winningest head coach and will reach his 200th win with the Tigers when they earn their seventh win of the 2026 season. From 2006 to 2022, he accrued a 193-46 record and won eight state championships.
He went 4-7 at Conner last season, stepping in after David Trosper died suddenly in June 2025.
According to the KHSAA record book, Rash is the fifth Northern Kentucky coach to reach the 200 milestone, joining Bob Schneider (343 - Newport Central Catholic), Owen Hauck (258 - Highlands and Boone County), Dale Mueller (250 - Highlands) and Lynn Ray (234 - Covington Catholic).
After initially retiring following Beechwood's 2022 state championship victory, Rash spent 2023 as a special consultant to his friend Steve Specht at Cincinnati St. Xavier. He was an **** istant coach at Holmes in 2024, where he also served as the **** istant principal for two years.

The Seattle Seahawks begin their 2026 season versus the New England Patriots on Wednesday. That doesn't mean some publications aren't already looking towards the 2027 NFL draft. With a new college football campaign officially underway, mock drafts have been populating news feeds.
NFL Draft On SI: A Sports Illustrated Channel was among the outlets that released new first-round mock drafts. Using power rankings to determine the draft order, they have the Seahawks picking at No. 31 overall. The pick? Clemson defensive end Will Heldt.
"Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider likes to keep four, five pass rushers in rotation," NFL Draft On SI wrote. "With DeMarcus Lawrence and Dante Fowler Jr. being aging veterans, adding another young rusher to the fold would fit the Seahawks' approach. Clemson's Will Heldt transferred to the program last season from Purdue and led the Tigers in tackles for loss (15.5) and sacks (7.5)."
Heldt placed third among returning Power Four edge defenders with an 84.4 PFF overall grade last season, according to Pro Football Focus. His 87.8 PFF pass-rush grade on true pass sets ranked 14th in the Power Four. He's been a dominant rusher for the Tigers.
Heldt feels like a prospect who will be on the Seahawks' radar.

WASHINGTON, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said on Thursday he is leaning toward keeping interest rates steady at the U.S. central bank's policy meeting this month if the next batch of inflation data shows price pressures are continuing to moderate.
Pointing to the importance of "what we learn" about inflation data for August, Waller told a Reuters NEXT Newsmaker event in Washington that "if there is continued progress toward our 2% goal, then I am willing to support holding the policy rate at its current level."
"I'm going to paraphrase John Lennon here. Give disinflation a chance" and refrain from prematurely raising rates to allow a cooling process to play out, Waller said. In terms of that patience, "I'm not going to say let's wait until next year, but let's just wait and see if we get some improvement on this."
Waller, however, said the data could also move in a way that would lead him to argue that the Fed needs to take action to control price pressures at its September 15-16 policy meeting.

Tim Curry's cause of death has been revealed to be coronary artery disease, according to documents from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health reviewed by People.
The British actor died on Aug. 25 at the age of 80. The Rocky Horror Picture Show and It star reportedly had a history of kidney cancer and stroke. These conditions did not create an underlying cause that directly led to his death, though they were contributing factors. Curry did not undergo surgery to treat his cancer or stroke, which occurred in 2012.

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider has defended the NFL team's decision to sign Terrion Arnold despite serious felony allegations against the cornerback.
Arnold officially signed with Seattle on August 29 after agreeing to a one-year, minimum-salary contract. The former Detroit Lions first-round pick faces eight felony charges connected to an alleged robbery and kidnapping in Florida.
The NFL placed Arnold on the Commissioner's Exempt List after receiving his contract. He can attend meetings and train at the facility, but cannot practice or play while the legal process continues.

Speaking after the signing, Schneider said Arnold's reputation did not match what Seattle discovered during its evaluation.

So why did the Seahawks sign a cornerback who is facing eight felony charges and possible life in prison, knowing he not only couldn't play for them but can't even practice?
"There's a long-term play," said John Schneider, the man who signed Terrion Arnold Saturday.
That's one reason.
The other: A Seahawks legend told him.
On NFL roster cut day Sunday, exactly as the league had told Schneider and coach Mike Macdonald he would, Arnold went on the NFL commissioner's exempt list. Commissioner Roger Goodell alone will decide when Arnold can practice and play for the Seahawks.

Despite his late fears, the high-school substitute teacher and real estate agent from Ohio made it.
There was also the expected stash of Zach Charbonnet on an injury list as he continues to train.
A chess move with former All-Pro Trevon Diggs, plus five other veterans, who just got cut. For now.
And a wait for Terrion Arnold to eventually, maybe come off on a special list set by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
The defending Super Bowl-champion Seahawks set their initial, 53-man roster for the regular season Sunday — with general manager John Schneider doing his characteristically advanced roster gymnastics and practice-squad maneuvering to treat his roster more like a 70-man team for 2026.

The Seattle Seahawks have put pen to paper. On Saturday afternoon, following their preseason finale with the Kansas City Chiefs, the Seahawks officially signed embattled former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold. This news came via NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
News broke in mid August that Seattle was planning to sign Arnold, who is currently charged with eight felony counts of armed robbery and kidnapping. The signing was delayed as the team was awaiting word of whether or not Arnold would be immediately placed on the commissioner's exempt list. Well, that question became reality, as it was announced a few days later that he would receive that special designation while the NFL conducted its own investigation.
Arnold's status with the league has apparently not deterred the Seahawks in their desire to improve their cornerback room. Arnold is on the team, but he cannot play or even practice with his new teammates while on the commissioner's exempt list. We saw on HBO's "Hard Knocks" that general manager John Schneider sees this signing as a long term investment, hoping he can provide some much-needed reinforcements to the secondary during the playoff push.
For now, the 12th Man must be patient. Arnold's next scheduled court proceeding won't be until October 5th in Tampa, Florida. That's already a long time to wait to get a better idea when... or if... Arnold will take the field as a Seahawk.

Jackie Goldschneider reportedly faced potential legal action over her communications with Vanessa Reiser. Attorney Doug Anton discussed the alleged situation on the Get Real With Kim D podcast, focusing on Jackie's legal background and messages with Luis Ruelas' ex-fiancée.
Doug Anton recently discussed the complicated history involving Vanessa Reiser and Luis Ruelas. The attorney claimed Jackie provided legal guidance during Vanessa's legal troubles. He also suggested those communications raised concerns about confidentiality and attorney-client privilege.
According to Anton's account, Jackie was not merely asking Vanessa questions. He said she also answered Vanessa's legal questions and discussed her situation. Anton interpreted their text messages as creating a relationship of trust.
The claims were discussed during a two-part episode of Get Real With Kim D. Kim DePaola hosted Anton and Reiser for the podcast episode. The discussion reportedly explored details that had not previously received much public attention.
Jackie previously worked as an attorney before joining The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Her legal background therefore became relevant to the allegations. Anton questioned whether her communications crossed a professional boundary.

WASHINGTON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's efforts to oust Federal Reserve officials to clear room for his own appointees have been stalled so far by the courts and political pushback in the Senate, but he may still have as many as four opportunities to try to beef up his influence over the central bank's policy committee.
Trump has so far stood behind Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh even though his handpicked appointee sidelined talk of the interest rate cuts the president has been demanding. Warsh also set aside all rate guidance in June, shortly after becoming head of the central bank.
While Warsh has talked often about the "incredible team" at the Fed — an institution designed to be insulated from politics by having only two of the seven seats on its Board of Governors expire in any one presidential term — Trump last month said he regarded the central bank's board in general as "maybe a little bit hostile," and as standing in Warsh's way.
"I know he would love to see lower interest rates. But he has got a board, and it's a political board," Trump said.

WASHINGTON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve will need to raise interest rates soon unless coming data show a continued decline in inflation that remains too high and which has become a "pervasive" concern for businesses and households, Boston Fed President Susan Collins said on Tuesday.
Collins said in comments posted to the Boston Fed website that the current Fed policy rate, under her base case outlook, will continue to push down prices and help with a "gradual disinflation" aided also by the recent rise in longer-term bond yields and other factors.
But "should evidence of sustained inflation progress not materialize, I believe it will be appropriate to tighten policy soon to ensure we deliver price stability in a reasonable time frame. ... Concerns about high prices are pervasive in my conversations with stakeholders across New England," Collins wrote.

Sustainable Growth Advisers (SGA), an investment management company, released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter for its "Global Growth Strategy." The letter can be downloaded here. The SGA Global Growth Portfolio returned 7.4% gross and 7.2% net, compared with 14.9% for the MSCI ACWI and 19.8% for the MSCI ACWI Growth Index. Momentum leadership and enthusiasm around AI infrastructure drove markets, with semiconductor, memory, and hardware stocks accounting for much of the gain. Although the portfolio owned AI beneficiaries, broader holdings lagged despite fundamentals, as median revenue and EPS growth reached 12% and 14% and more than 60% of the holdings beat expectations. SGA believes valuation compression reflects sentiment rather than weaker business quality, leaving the portfolio near its widest discount to the market since inception. The firm continues to favor durable compounders and expects 16% revenue growth and 20% earnings growth over three years. Also, please check the Fund's top five holdings to see its best picks for 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, SGA Global Growth Strategy highlighted Alcon Inc. (NYSE:ALC). Alcon Inc.

SGA Global Growth Strategy stated the following regarding Alcon Inc. (NYSE:ALC) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"During the quarter, we exited our position in Alcon Inc. (NYSE:ALC). Alcon remains a leader in eye care with exposure to increasing secular demand driven by aging and myopia, with market leadership across multiple categories. Strong launches in new equipment and eye drops drove topline growth of 6% constant currency and earnings per share growth of 16%+ in Q1. This was slightly below expectations of 7% growth, as the market for cataracts and contact lenses remains subdued. Additionally, the premium intraocular lens for cataracts is getting more competitive, with Alcon remaining the leader but expected to continue to cede share from the highs of 80%+ as competitors are catching up. Management continues to execute well on product launches to offset pressures in intraocular lens, which accounts for 17% of total sales. However, to account for the increased competition and subdued market conditions overall, we gradually reduced the position before ultimately redeploying the capital into a higher growth opportunity in Schneider Electric."

WASHINGTON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve will need to raise interest rates soon unless coming data show a continued decline in inflation that remains too high and which has become a "pervasive" concern for businesses and households, Boston Fed President Susan Collins said on Tuesday.
Collins said in comments posted to the Boston Fed website that the current Fed policy rate, under her base case outlook, will continue to push down prices and help with a "gradual disinflation" aided also by the recent rise in longer-term bond yields and other factors.
But "should evidence of sustained inflation progress not materialize, I believe it will be appropriate to tighten policy soon to ensure we deliver price stability in a reasonable time frame. ... Concerns about high prices are pervasive in my conversations with stakeholders across New England," Collins wrote.
Economists polled by Reuters expect that new inflation data on Wednesday will show that the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, excluding food and energy, increased at a 3.3% annual rate in July, unchanged from the month before and well above the Fed's 2% target. Core PCE, considered a guide to future headline inflation, has risen steadily since last year, with Fed officials citing the Trump administration's import tariffs, higher oil prices due to the war with Iran, and now massive investments in artificial intelligence as reasons for the increase.

Let us wind the clock back to springtime 2025. The Minnesota Vikings, coming off their 14-3 season that ended in back-to-back disastrous blowout losses - one being a game where the No. 1 seed in the NFC on the line and the other being a Wild Card round playoff game - were facing a monumental decision: what to do at quarterback?
On one hand, they had the man who won them 14 games. Sam Darnold resurrected his career in a Geno Smith-esque way, as a former Jets flameout-turned-backup-turned Pro Bowler. He set career-bests with 4,319 yards passing and 35 touchdown passes. On the other hand, the Vikings had Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy, whom the team selected No. 10 overall in the 2024 NFL draft. One quarterback was a known quantity, the other represented potential with his youth and lofty draft status. Minnesota ultimately stuck with their first round pick, and let Darnold walk out the door to Seattle.
Obviously, knowing what we know now, it's safe to say the Vikings probably wish they could have a "do-over" with this decision. Darnold repeated every bit of success he had in Minnesota with Seattle, and then some. He joined Tom Brady as the only quarterbacks to have consecutive 14-win seasons and helped guide the Seahawks to their second Super Bowl in franchise history. Meanwhile, the Vikings struggled to finish 9-8, missed the playoffs, and replaced McCarthy with former Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray as their starter for 2026.
Why do I bring any of this up? Because the Seattle Seahawks need to be learning from Minnesota's mistakes. Sam Darnold is under contract for another two years, but he will be eligible next offseason to negotiate for an extension. Seattle will have to decide if they want to keep their Pro Bowl caliber, Super Bowl champion quarterback at a higher salary or roll the dice with a younger quarterback they drafted. In this case, third rounder Jalen Milroe.
The Seahawks drafted Milroe with the intention of developing a quarterback succession plan for the first time in the John Schneider era. But as we've seen in this current preseason, Milroe is nowhere near ready to be Seattle's franchise quarterback. Which leads us back to Darnold.

Aug 21 (Reuters) - The world's top central bank chiefs gather in Jackson Hole this week against a jittery backdrop, half a year into the Iran war and with bond markets rattled by a selloff in long-dated U.S. debt that prompted U.S. Treasury intervention.
Away from Wyoming, there's plenty else going on, from inflation readings around the world and Nvidia's earnings to a South Korean rate decision and an Icelandic vote on whether to revive EU accession talks.
Here's all you need to know about the week ahead in financial markets, by Howard Schneider in Washington, Laura Matthews in New York, Stine Jacobsen in Copenhagen, Gregor Stuart Hunter in Singapore and Samuel Indyk in London.

Big-think or red meat? That's the choice Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh faces as he prepares a keynote address at the Fed's Jackson Hole symposium in Wyoming: expound on his ideas for reforming the central bank, or stick to the nuts and bolts of monetary policy and whether rates are headed higher.

Sustainable Growth Advisers (SGA), an investment management company, released its second-quarter 2026 investor letter for its "Global Growth Strategy." The letter can be downloaded here. The SGA Global Growth Portfolio returned 7.4% gross and 7.2% net, compared with 14.9% for the MSCI ACWI and 19.8% for the MSCI ACWI Growth Index. Momentum leadership and enthusiasm around AI infrastructure drove markets, with semiconductor, memory, and hardware stocks accounting for much of the gain. Although the portfolio owned AI beneficiaries, broader holdings lagged despite fundamentals, as median revenue and EPS growth reached 12% and 14% and more than 60% of the holdings beat expectations. SGA believes valuation compression reflects sentiment rather than weaker business quality, leaving the portfolio near its widest discount to the market since inception. The firm continues to favor durable compounders and expects 16% revenue growth and 20% earnings growth over three years. Also, please check the Fund's top five holdings to see its best picks for 2026.

NEW YORK (AP) — Rookie Spencer Jones hit a towering two-run homer in the second inning that was upheld on replay, and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 on Friday night for their fifth straight victory.
New York starter Cam Schlittler (11-6) held the Blue Jays to one run and six hits in six innings. The tall right-hander allowed one earned run or fewer for the major league-leading 19th time and got his first win since July 24.
After Trent Grisham opened the second with a walk, Jones lifted Spencer Arrighetti's 2-1 curveball to right field. The ball stayed fair, passed the foul pole before landing about halfway up the second deck.
Jones watched the flight of the ball before starting his home run trot. As he was about halfway through, Toronto manager John Schneider called for a review and the home run stood following a brief delay.
It was Jones' seventh homer and the second time he homered in consecutive games. Jones also went deep at Wrigley Field July 31-Aug. 1.

NEW YORK (AP) — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. passed his final concussion tests and the Toronto Blue Jays slugger is expected to return from the seven-day injured list on Saturday.
Guerrero returned to the team on Friday and took swings in the batting cage after doubling during a minor league rehabilitation game for Single-A Dunedin on Thursday.
"He felt good," manager John Schneider said before the Blue Jays opened a three-game series with the Yankees. "Even before he left to play in Clearwater, he was feeling good. He feels pretty normal, so that's a good thing."
Guerrero left a 3-1 win in Toronto over the Yankees last Friday after a collision with New York rookie shortstop George Lombard Jr. on a bizarre play at third base in the sixth inning.
The six-time All-Star was injured when he slid at third base and had Lombard's knee and thigh strike his head. The play caused Guerrero's helmet to get dislodged, though the first baseman scored the tying run before exiting.

Nebraska football is in the mix with class of 2028 four-star tight end Israel Johnigan. Now, he is planning to visit Nebraska multiple times, including for a game-day visit. This was reported by Husker Online's Bobby Schneider last week. (Subscription needed)
Johnigan earned an offer following Nebraska's Battle of the Boneyard camp in June. He is the 299th overall player in the 2028 class, the 14th overall player at his position, and the fourth overall player in his class from the state of Missouri, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.
In addition to the Huskers, he has offers from Iowa State, Kansas, Minnesota, and Illinois. The tight end will be coming for the October 10 game against Indiana.
The Huskers need tight end depth for the future, with the position boasting ample upperclassman experience. Luke Lindenmeyer headlines the group, with Carter Nelson and Luke Sorensen as others to watch. This room will need a boost following Lindenmeyer's departure, and Johnigan could provide that.

It's still unclear why the Lions cut cornerback Terrion Arnold after he was arrested on eight felony charges. It is clear based on the latest installment of this season's Hard Knocks that the Seahawks would have cut Arnold, too.
The third episode of this year's show includes a sideline conversation between G.M. John Schneider and special-teams coordinator Jay Harbaugh at practice, regarding the free-agent with whom the Seahawks have struck an agreement but have not yet officially added to the team.
"If you're [the Lions], why would you release him?" Harbaugh said to Schneider.
"Well, it was because it was very shocking," Schneider replied. "Like, if you read The Athletic article, it's not good, you know?"
"And you would imagine if it was flipped, it'd probably be the same thing here?" Harbaugh said.

While their decision-makers consider when to officially sign Terrion Arnold, and whether to sign former Cowboys All-Pro Trevon Diggs, some of the Seahawks' best players put on show.
On the field. And on Hard Knocks.
The third episode of the NFL Film's series on the Super Bowl champions' training camp aired nationally on HBO Tuesday night.
The highlights were the team's pursuit and agreement to sign of Terrion Arnold. The 23-year-old cornerback and first-round draft choice by the Lions in 2024 got cut by Detroit this summer. That was after Florida prosecutors charged him with eight felony counts related to an alleged kidnapping and robbery and Florida.
A scene in general manager John Schneider's office inside Seahawks headquarters in the third episode of Hard Knocks shows the GM re-watching the interview the team had with Arnold before the 2024 NFL draft.

LAWRENCE — Marian Washington is a Kansas women's basketball icon.
The Jayhawks' all-time winningest head coach led that KU program for 31 seasons from 1973 to 2004. She enjoyed 11 NCAA tournament appearances, many conference ***** les and more. She was also an ***** et to the athletic department in other ways, too.
And on Saturday, Aug. 15 in Springfield, Massachusetts, Washington will be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame for her role with the 1996 women's national team for USA Basketball. Washington was an ***** istant coach for Stanford's Tara VanDerveer for the Olympics that year. According to a release from Kansas athletics, Washington became "the first female African American coach on a USA Olympic Basketball coaching staff."
RELATED: 5 insights into Kansas women's basketball with coach Brandon Schneider
The KU release added: "The 1996 USA Basketball Women's National Team captured the gold medal at the Atlanta Games, finishing with an undefeated 8-0 record and an average margin of victory of more than 30 points. Coached by VanDerveer, the team featured a roster that included future Hall of Famers Lisa Leslie, Sheryl Swoopes, Dawn Staley, Teresa Edwards, Rebecca Lobo, and Katrina McClain. The squad's dominant performance helped elevate the global profile of women's basketball and contributed to the launch of the WNBA later that year."

The second episode of HBO's 'Hard Knocks' chronicling of Seattle Seahawks training camp and preseason had one very interesting nugget that remains an ongoing story for the Super Bowl champions.
Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold, currently facing several felony robbery and kidnapping charges, tried out for the Seahawks at the team facility at the start of the week. While no signing is imminent and Arnold is slated to meet the New York Giants next, the 'Hard Knocks' crew does give us a revealing look into the Seahawks front office and their interest in Arnold. This comes shortly after they show Nick Emmanwori rehabbing his injured ankle, which obviously went well enough for him to be activated off of PUP.
Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde: "Is there anything on that guy in Detroit, the one they cut?"
Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald: "John's looking into it. He's gone spy mode."
Seahawks general manager John Schneider: "I'm trying to remember, like, with this Terrion Arnold thing, what would be another controversial signing that's happened so we can kind of like understand that situation.

Melbourne Central Catholic won a playoff game for the second time in three years in 2025, reaching the regional semifinals to cap a 3-8 season.
The Hustlers begin a new era under head coach Ryan Schneider, who will look to take the team to heights he reached at Cocoa.
"(Practice) has been great. The kids are working hard. The coaching staff has done a great job putting together a plan to get us ready for our first game," Schneider said. "We've been improving every day, but that comes with the hard work that these are kids doing. It's a great group of young men who are focused and really moving in the right direction."
Schneider said the transition has been smooth this offseason, learning the players, and the players learning his system. A strong foundation of returning players is what enticed Schneider to take over at MCC.
"It makes all the difference. I would haven't come here if it wasn't a well put together program," Schneider said. "With coach (Willie) Tillman saying he would be the athletic director, that was another main reason why I came here. A chance to work with him and learn from him has been great. He does a great job. I think we really have great things on the horizon for us."
