According to a report from Inside Pack Sports, NC State has its targets set on a replacement for Director of Athletics Debbie Yow. That would be Army athletic director Boo Corrigan, the son of former ACC Commissioner and Duke graduate Gene Corrigan.

Yow’s contract is set to expire in July 2019. She took over her post in 2010.

We're hearing NC State will name Army AD Boo Corrigan as new Athletics Director.

Corrigan has worked his way up the proverbial job ladder. He spent three years as the associate athletic director for marketing at the Naval Academy (2002-04); after that, he was an associate athletic director at Notre Dame (2004-08). In 2008, he joined Duke as senior associate director of athletics for external affairs at Duke University. Then in Feb. 2011, he joined Army as its athletic director.
