Great news from the SLC where SLC board chairman and SHSU President James Gaertner has announced the board has extended the contract of SLC Commish Tom Burnett.
I think most SLC fans would agree that there's been a great deal of positive change under Burnett's leadership. He's helped get the conference in many forms whether it carrying the SLC through expansion, continued pushing for more sponsors and such. Thanks Tom!
