Could the MAC East lose another AD?

Before Akron has finished finding a replacement for Mack Rhoades they might have competition for talent from within the MAC East. There are some rumblings that Marshall will look to the Ohio Bobcats to replace Bob Marcum. Many say that Jim Schuas is quickly climbing up Marshall's short list being put together by a Dallas firm hired out to find a new AD for the Herd.

While nothing yet is official the Charleston Daily Mail has put together a list of 'why and why not'. The Charleston Daily acknowledges the reality that where you were born, who your parents are and where you went to school can affect your attractiveness to potential college sports jobs and Shuas has this going against him. But they also highlight some of the more compelling reasons he would be a good fit:

  • Faculties at Wichita State
  • Fundraising track record
  • Knowledge of the region
Still no one addresses a critical employment question; If Shuas would take the job would Marshall be interested in someone that would dump a university for greener pastures after only a year?
