A Hoosier will soon be running the athletic department at Indiana University. Fred Glass, an Indianapolis attorney with Baker & Daniels and a graduate of IU, is Indiana's 20th athletic director, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation. Glass replaces Rick Greenspan, who resigned in June amid NCAA allegations that the university's athletic department failed to monitor the men's basketball program. Greenspan, who was hired in September 2004, will remain on the job until the end of the calendar year. It's unclear when Glass will begin his duties as athletic director. The decision by IU President Michael McRobbie came after a 13-member search committee, chaired by IU vice president for engagement Bill Stephan, identified a group of three finalists for the position. One of the other finalists was Oregon State athletic director Bob De Carolis, who told the Oregonian newspaper Monday night that he was no longer a candidate for the IU job. It's unclear who the third finalist was for the position.

Indiana needs a lot more help than this hiring.

Yes, they do, and that help will come from the support of the Hoosier faithful. The Hoosiers shall march on. This season, and perhaps the next season may not be the most successful in Hoosiers history, but IU shall rise again under Crean.

Getting rid of Greenspan has been a long time coming. I didn't like him even before he hired Sampson. Plus, Glass is well known for being an honest and discerning guy.
