Florida A&M found their AD. A former AD at FAMU who served a decade-long stint at Buffalo. Seems like a solid hire for the folks down there. I knew an individual applying for the job and I guess you can say they lost out to a much more qualified individual.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida A&M University presented veteran administrator Nelson E. Townsend as the school's new Director of Athletics during a news conference at the Galimore-Powell Fieldhouse Tuesday afternoon.
Dr. Castell Vaughn Bryant, University President introduced Townsend to the gathering of media, coaches, athletic staff and alumni at the football fieldhouse. Earlier in the afternoon, Bryant presented him formally to the FAMU coaches and athletic staff at a meeting in Gaither Gymnasium.
"Mr. Townsend brings the depth and quality of leadership experience which will be critical to moving our athletic program forward in the coming years," President Bryant said on Tuesday.
