I’m not saying that Bill Moos might be in some trouble, but he will probably be answering some questions from the media after a new audit finds extensive mismanagement in Washington State athletics.

A new internal audit has found extensive mismanagement within the Washington State University Athletics department, including the possible inflation of home football attendance and the improper distribution of free tickets to football games.

....

The audit also found problems with contract management, ethics training, attendance data, benefits for athletics employees and cash handling in the ticket office.

From what I can tell, Bill Moos’s management style is to hire the right people and then let them do their jobs. So this audit coming out might shine a light on some of the people he hired or it could shine a light directly on Nebraska’s new athletic director.

This all remains to be seen. But we know he is going to get inquiries from our local press about that audit. I’ll be interested in seeing what happens.

But we all know that if Scott Frost and his staff end up doing what we think they could end up doing with this football program, then pretty much Bill Moos is going to get a five star rating on any google or yelp reviews.

Jeff Nusser of Cougcenter wrote this.

What if Bill Moos actually was a bad athletic director at WSU?

Bill Moos will always be the guy who got the football operations building built and hired Mike Leach as coach of the Washington State Cougars, and for that, there will certainly be some fans who will find his legacy unimpeachable.

But as time passes, the shine is coming off for some — including myself.

Steve Lassan of Athlon Sports ranks the quarterbacks in the Big Ten for 2018. It’s actually kind of ridiculous since over half of them are still battling it with teammates for the starting position.

NBA Playoffs: LeBron James Puts Toronto on the Brink of Another Playoff Meltdown

Any team losing at the hands of LeBron James in the playoffs can never truly be characterized as a surprise, but it’s also never less impressive to observe. Platitudes don’t really add much to dominance after, you know, the last decade or so of NBA basketball, but James’s dialed-in, scalding second-half performance Thursday night was something else. The Cavs’ 128–110 win over the Raptors extended their series lead to 2–0 after two road games. We’ve seen this one before.
