 WSU has found its new athletic director, Ann McCoy, but the university will need to find a replacement for a new president very soon. WSU President Kirk Schulz plans to retire next summer, and the athletic department could have a hand in finding his replacement. There will be a presidential advisory committee with a wide variety of areas represented, and likely that will include athletics. McCoy's top priority is to find the Cougars a new conference home following the collapse of the Pac-12.
