Just sayin!
Understandably so, just acknowledging a "glaring" void in the building of this University and I see Elloitt performing at a magnitude that could resurrect/establish and set the foundation that's critical to reach U

Here is Bowen's bio. Bowen began his career as a high school football coach in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In 1987, he moved to Concord, California to become athletic director at De La Salle High School, a Catholic secondary school.[1] After eight years at De La Salle, Bowen became director of foundations and corporate relations at nearby Saint Mary's College of California in May 1995. At the beginning of 1997, Bowen moved to the Saint Mary's athletic department to become an associate athletic director overseeing budget, sponsorship, and student-athlete affairs. Bowen held that position until April 2000.[2] Briefly in 2000, Bowen was also interim athletic director at Saint Mary's.[3]
From July 2000 to September 2002, Bowen was associate athletic director for fundraising at the University of California, Berkeley.[2]
In 2002, Bowen became director of community affairs in the front office of the NFL's San Francisco 49ers, later becoming the executive director of the 49ers Foundation. After three years with the 49ers, and with the endorsement of the 49ers' former head coach and general manager, Bill Walsh, Bowen accepted the athletic director job at San Jose State University on December 20, 2004, overseeing the San Jose State Spartans intercollegiate sports program for eight years, until 2012. Bowen was credited with the improved performance of the San Jose State Spartans sports teams and for the improvement of the San Jose State athletic facilities.[2]
Please post Perry's bio and let's compare
ELLIOT PERRY
DIRECTOR OF PLAYER SUPPORT
Memphis native Elliot Perry enters his 12th season with the Memphis Grizzlies and fifth in the basketball
operations department as director of player support. In this role, Perry’s responsibilities include but are
not limited to preparing Grizzlies players for life after basketball and advising with respect to community
investment. In addition, Perry has been a limited partner of the Grizzlies’ ownership group since 2005
and this summer was named the organization’s Alternate Governor for the NBA Board of Governors. He
also is entering his 10th season on the team’s radio broadcast as an analyst alongside play-by-play
announcer Eric Hasseltine.
A graduate of Treadwell High School, Perry started every game in his four-year collegiate career (1987-
91) with his hometown Memphis State Tigers and led his team to two NCAA Tournament berths, including a second round
appearance in 1987, before graduating with a degree in marketing. Drafted in the second round (37th overall) of the 1991 NBA
Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers, Perry played 10 seasons in the NBA for seven different teams, including a two-game stint with
the Memphis Grizzlies in his final season (2001-02). Perry, who became known as “Socks” because of his trademark knee-highs,
finished runner-up for the 1995 NBA Most Improved Player Award as a member of the Phoenix Suns.
Perry, a 2009 inductee in the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, is committed to making a difference in his community. He founded
the SOCKS (Supporting Our Community and KidS) Banquet to provide financial support to those organizations that are making
a difference in the Memphis area as it relates to kids. Perry also is an active member of the Grizzlies Foundation mentoring
programs and serves as Chairman of the Grizzlies Foundation Board. He also is a current board member of the National Civil
Rights Museum and Teach for America.
