Spending Christmas vacation close to Boone, NC this year. Drove by ASU's facilities earlier in the week. Extremely impressive for FCS. CUSA made a mistake (I know markets....) of taking Charlotte over ASU in my opinion. Doing some grocery shopping in town on Monday, very surprised at the number of locals wearing ASU gear. Boone has a non-ASU population of somewhere 4500-6000 (estimated) and ASU has an enrollment of just over 16K. They reason I mention all of this is that I read an article today on Charlie Cobb, ASU AD. I would be be very happy to get him based on what I have seen on campus and read about him if we could not get my top two choices above. He seems to have done a lot over the course of his time here. He is a NC native and a NCSU alumni so he is probably reluctant to leave the state (the Boone area is beautiful). Served as a senior associate AD at NCSU before coming to ASU.
