N.C. State Tabs Army's Boo Corrigan To Replace Retiring AD Debbie Yow

N.C. State named Army AD Boo Corrigan the school's next AD, with a formal press conference scheduled for tomorrow morning. Corrigan spent eight years as Army AD and upgraded several facilities, added three varsity sports and created a new brand identity. He was named the '17 AD of the Year by NACDA and was a finalist for AD of the Year at SBJ's '18 Sports Business Awards. Corrigan is replacing Debbie Yow, who is retiring after nearly nine years. Corrigan will officially begin May 1 (N.C. State). In Raleigh, Chip Alexander notes Corrigan will head the school's athletic department that includes 23 teams, revenue of $86M in '18 and "more than 200 full-time employees." Yow helped N.C. State "reach the top 25 in the Directors’ Cup, a competitive measure of college athletics programs," finishing 15th overall in '17-18 (NEWSOBSERVER.com, 1/30). Yow came to N.C. State after stints at Maryland and St. Louis. She had "previously announced she would be stepping down at the end" of the current academic year (ESPN.com, 1/30).
