Helwig was a bad AD, but he did one thing better than RV--getting name teams to the area to play us in football.

He just ignored everything else and whored us out in football and basketball to pay for everything. He probably had no other option with the resources that the university wasn't giving to athletics at the time. He needed to go when he left, but at least he didn't stay 5+ years beyond his usefulness like RV did.

 

What teams did Helwig get to Fouts?  Not Cowboys stadium in Irving but Fouts Field.

For the record, Rich McDuffie was the AD who lived in a motel room for some of his time here.

When was that? I don't remember anyone by that name.

McDuffie was here from 87-89, as memory serves...

I had also forgotten about McDuffie.  I don't think he did anything memorable while here anyway.  I tried to research him and discovered that he was accused of sexual harassment at his last AD job, Eastern Ilinois.
