David Glenn: Boo Corrigan was a record-setting fundraiser at Army over the last 8 years

State was coming off an 89th-place finish in the Directors' Cup, presented annually by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics to the nation's top overall athletic program. The school improved to 67th in her first year, 37th her second, then 34th last year to match the school's best finish since 2006. (AP Photo/Gerry Broome, File)

Earlier in the day on Wednesday (Jan. 30), NC State and its chancellor Randy Woodson announced a major hire. The university has hired Boo Corrigan — son of former ACC Commissioner Gene Corrigan — to become its new director of athletics. After spending the last eight years as Army’s AD, he will fill the shoes of Debbie Yow, who is set to retire later this year after nine years at NC State.

It has been my honor and privilege to serve as the @GoArmyWestPoint Athletic Director over the past 8 years. My family and I love West Point and will miss the West Point community tremendously. We are excited to announce our next adventure with @PackAthletics. BEAT NAVY!

David Glenn adds a touch of perspective to the shift in leadership; from Yow’s success over the last decade, to what Wolfpack fans can expect with Corrigan.
