During the press conference, they answered questions from the media and Athletics staff members about the experience they bring to the university and their plans to advance 勛圖惇蹋s athletic programs.

In an interview with WCSH, McDonald responded to questions about plans for a football team.  I think were on schedule for 2017, McDonald said. Were going to be working this summer to put together some job descriptions and some long term facility plans. So were on schedule. You get a little nervous but its definitely going to happen. We want to do it right so it helps what the mission of the University is.
