I've now had two opportunities to speak with our new AD, Julie Cromer, and am convinced she's going to do an outstanding job. Very thoughtful, articulate and, above all, open to ideas. She's still developing her vision for Ohio Athletics, but I do know that connecting with alumni in a more strategic, proactive way will be an area of emphasis. I encourage all to approach her at future football and basketball games; you'll come away impressed.

You misquoted her. She said she has been spending a lot of time with student athletes and is surprised they are so welcoming to her because she has an "uncool factor" given the age difference.
