My last day with Penn Athletics was May 4.

What a privilege to spend nearly 21 years working with coaches and student-athletes who so proudly represent the Red and Blue, and especially being an ambassador for The Palestra.

Congratulations to you, Brad! Has it really been 27 YEARS since you brought me to Northwestern?!?! Time flies, man…

[FDU Knights @FDUKnights]

Today, FDU Senior Associate Vice President/Athletic Director Bradford Hurlbut announced his plans to retire at the end of June.

Hurlbut oversaw a true ‘golden’ era of Knights Athletics, which included unprecedented success and the strengthening of FDU’s national profile. We thank him for seven years of tremendous leadership.

I call it “fooling enough of the people enough of the time.” Can’t wait to celebrate in Vegas this June!

[College Sports Communicators @CollSportsComm]

Mike Mahoney (@MMPennAC), University of Pennsylvania (@Penn / @pennathletics) Director of Athletic Communications, will receive the CSC Arch Ward Award this June at #CSCUnite26! The Arch Ward Award is presented to a current CSC member who has made outstanding contributions to the field of college athletics communications, and who by his or her activities, has brought dignity and prestige to the profession.

“When I got the call that I was receiving the Arch Ward Award, I immediately went to the list of honorees and I was blown away. So many of the people on the list I consider legends in our profession, and while I have become friends with many of them, I still have moments where I think 'that person KNOWS me!' It's so cool. I want to thank former Arch Ward recipient Larry Dougherty for nominating me for this honor. It was so humbling when he told me he thought I was a great candidate for it. I've been blessed to work at three incredible institutions in two of the best leagues in the country, and in both cases it's the people who make them great. I have always loved this profession and the people in it, and to get that love back is really gratifying.”

Always loved working with Harry when we had the Owls on the schedule. An icon and one of the nicest people you will meet. Thinking about his family and his friends at KYW and Temple.

[Temple Owls @TempleOwls]

We’re deeply saddened by the passing of longtime Voice of the Owls, Harry Donahue.

A Philadelphia broadcasting legend, his Temple career spanned five decades, bringing the passion and pride of Temple Athletics to fans across the city and beyond.

Our love and thoughts go out to the Donahue family and the Owl community.

Rest in peace, Harry.
