It was quite a faux pas he made during his speech the other night during the Jerry York ceremony. James expressed to York how much "Boston College University" appreciated his long service. That's just not a mistake the diehard Eagles can let go.
Looks like BC is jumping from the frying pan into the the fire.
A head-scratcher.

No College or University in their right mind would hire Blake James to any position let alone AD. He screwed UMaine by pushing the Kings out the door.I swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.

From Larry: "Jude Killy, the deputy director of athletics at Miami University in Ohio, will be the new athletic director at the University of Maine, according to a person with knowledge of the hiring process."
"Killy has been at Miami University in Ohio since 2008 and has received five promotions during his time there.
He has overseen the everyday operations of the athletic department, including athletic development, equipment and the budget, and has been the top sports administrator for the football, men’s basketball, baseball and men’s swimming and diving teams."
Short timer here.
Not impressed.

At least he comes from a Hockey school. No one is staying in Orono, simple as that
Yes of course no one will stay as AD here very long.
What a tough job to step into right now. Needing to raise how many millions for the facility plan, needing to find money to pay coaches more, etc.
All we can hope for is he moves the needle a little in a good direction and doesn't do any damage like some past ADs.
Let the coaches coach and pay them competitively.

Am I missing something here? All of Maine's major coaches are relatively new hires with pay increases compared to their predecessors. They've already raised at least $113 million plus.....or $13 of the $20 million required to match the $90 million from Alfond. Killy is 50ish and was at Miami since 2008......that doesn't exactly scream revolving door. You guys need to settle down.

On the other hand, his name brings up memories of one of my sports heroes: Jean-Claude Killy, who didn't simply win 3 gold medals in skiing at the 1968 Olympics - he won all of the skiing events for men.

Personally, I think the athletics department is in the best shape it’s been in 15 years. We have a ton of young, ambitious coaches. Ken Ralph left this thing in pretty good shape. I still wonder why he left, I hope it wasn’t over disagreements with higher ups and their view of athletics.
The lack of progress on the alfond donation and facilities master plan is a bit concerning. Granted I haven’t been on campus since summer 2021 but last I heard the softball field is the only thing that’s really made progress. I just hope they don’t run out of money before they get to the hockey Renovations since it seemed like they were later down the line.
