WIND FARMS LIKE THESE IN
FOUNTAIN COUNTY HAVE ADDED JOBS

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR DURING WHICH

17
00:01:42.435 --> 00:01:50.076
THE GREYHOUNDS HAVE BECOME ONE
OF NCAA DIVISION 2'S MOST
ACCOMPLISHED ALL AROUND
PROGRAMS. BUT DR. SUE WILLEY NOW

18
00:01:50.076 --> 00:02:01.554
PLANS TO LEAVE HER OFFICE IN
NICOSON HALL, AND SHE JOINS US
ON THE PROGRAM. SUE, WELCOME.
CONGRATULATIONS. WHAT A

19
00:02:01.554 --> 00:02:07.193
DISTINGUISHED TENURE,
REMARKABLE. YOU STARTED OUT AS
AN ATHLETE ALL THOSE YEARS AGO,
PLAYED FIVE SPORTS.

20
00:02:07.193 --> 00:02:16.169
>> PLAYED FIVE SPORTS, COACHED
FIVE SPORTS. IT WAS A PRETTY
DIFFERENT TIME, OBVIOUSLY, BACK
IN THOSE DAYS, FOR

21
00:02:16.169 --> 00:02:22.709
PARTICIPATION. APPRECIATE YOU
HAVING ME ON AND EXCITED TO TALK
ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON AND WHAT
THE FUTURE LOOKS LIKE.

22
00:02:22.709 --> 00:02:35.655
>> AND YOU'VE HAD GREAT SUCCESS
AT U-INDY. I MENTIONED IN THE
OPEN, THE GREYHOUND HAVE BECOME
DIVISION 2'S FINISHED IN THE TOP

23
00:02:35.655 --> 00:02:43.696
TEN VIRTUALLY EVERY YEAR.
>> WE'VE HAD CHALLENGES FROM
WHEN I FIRST STARTED AS THE AD.
WE HAD MANY PROGRAMS THAT WERE

24
00:02:43.696 --> 00:02:53.773
LED BY PART-TIME COACHES. ONE OF
THE GOALS WAS FIRST TO GET ALL
THE HEAD COACHES TO BE FULL
TIME. WE'VE PROGRESSED FROM

25
00:02:53.773 --> 00:03:01.481
THERE. ANOTHER VISION WE HAD WAS
WE'D LIKE TO GET OUR SPORTS
FULLY FUNDED FOR THE NCAA.
THANKFULLY WITH THE HELP OF THE

26
00:03:01.481 --> 00:03:08.555
ADMINISTRATION AND THE
UNIVERSITY UNDERSTANDING THE
BENEFITS OF OUR ATHLETICS, THAT
HAS OCCURRED. SO, HIRING THE

27
00:03:08.555 --> 00:03:17.664
RIGHT PEOPLE, WE'VE NOT ONLY IS
THE ATHLETICS AT A GREAT
POSITION, BUT I WANT TO TOOT THE
HORN OF ALL OF OUR COACHES AND

28
00:03:17.664 --> 00:03:25.071
STUDENT ATHLETES. THIS SEMESTER,
I JUST GOT THEIR GRADES, AND WE
ALWAYS HAVE A GOAL OF EVERY
SPORT GETTING A 3.0 OR BETTER.

29
00:03:25.071 --> 00:03:33.513
AND LAST YEAR FOR THE FIRST
TIME, BOTH SEMESTERS, EVERY
SPORT, EVERY TEAM HAD A 3.0 OR
BETTER. THE OVERALL IS ABOUT A

30
00:03:33.513 --> 00:03:40.954
3.3, AND WE'RE ALMOST AT 700
ATHLETES. AFTER HEARING WHAT MID
TERMS WERE, I WAS A LITTLE
WORRIED. I THOUGHT, OKAY, THIS

31
00:03:40.954 --> 00:03:50.730
IS GOING DOWN, AND BY GOLLY, WE
HAD ABOUT THREE MEN'S PROGRAMS
THAT WERE A 3.0 SOMETHING, BUT
THEY STILL MADE THAT 3 POINT,

32
00:03:50.730 --> 00:03:57.303
KUDOS.
>> YOU GOT A BIG BOOST WHEN WE
HOSTED THE SUPER BOWL, YOU BUILT
THAT MAGNIFICENT INDOOR

33
00:03:57.303 --> 00:04:02.909
FACILITY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. WE WERE ALWAYS
GOING TO BUILD A FACILITY FOR
INDOOR TRACK SINCE WE DIDN'T

34
00:04:02.909 --> 00:04:12.885
HAVE ANYTHING FOR OUR OVER 100
STUDENT ATHLETES. THEY WERE
GOING TO BUILD NEW LOCKER ROOMS
ESPECIALLY FOR FOOTBALL. THEY

35
00:04:12.885 --> 00:04:20.426
CAME TO THE TABLE AND WE SAID
YES WE'LL PUT OFF BUILDING OUR
TRACK FOR A YEAR, THEY HELPED US
MAKE A BIGGER VENUE, AND WE NOW

36
00:04:20.426 --> 00:04:26.499
HOST THE INDOOR TRACK AND FIELD
EVERY YEAR FOR OUR CONFERENCE.
>> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT, A LOT
OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS, THE

37
00:04:26.499 --> 00:04:36.776
NCAA IS RIGHT HERE, YOU HAVE
BEEN VERY ACTIVE IN MULTIPLE
ROLES WITH THE NCAA COMMITTEES,
THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS OF WHICH IS

38
00:04:36.776 --> 00:04:44.450
THE CHAMPIONSHIP'S COMMITTEE AND
END OF YOUR TENURE AT ATHLETIC
DIRECTOR AND TENURE AS CHAIR OF
THAT VERY IMPORTANT COMMITTEE.

39
00:04:44.450 --> 00:04:51.791
>> YES, CHAMPIONSHIPS, EVERYBODY
WANTS TO BE ON THAT COMMITTEE. I
WAS THRILLED TO GET ON IT, AND
I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO BE THE

40
00:04:51.791 --> 00:04:58.364
CHAIR FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
I'VE SERVED ON A LOT OF
DIFFERENT COMMITTEES, OBVIOUSLY
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE NCAA AND

41
00:04:58.364 --> 00:05:04.771
OUR STUDENTS ATHLETES, WE THINK
ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS, THAT'S THE
WORK WE'VE BEEN DOING.
>> I HATE TO ASK YOU TO DO THIS

42
00:05:04.771 --> 00:05:10.543
BRIEFLY, BUT AS WE WRAP UP,
CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES FOR
YOUR SUCCESSOR. HIRE LIKE FIVE
PEOPLE.

43
00:05:10.543 --> 00:05:19.419
>> NO, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO. AS
A MATTER OF FACT, I DIDN'T KNOW
IF THEY WOULD REPLACE ME. WITH
THE DECLINE OF GRADUATING

44
00:05:19.419 --> 00:05:28.494
SENIORS IN INDIANA, I MEAN, FOR
ALL INSTITUTIONS RIGHT NOW,
ENROLLMENT IS THE BIG QUESTION.
SO, THAT ENROLLMENT THEN FOR A

45
00:05:28.494 --> 00:05:32.765
PRIVATE INSTITUTION GOES TO
BUDGET.
OF COURSE BUDGETS ARE ALWAYS A
CONCERN, AND SOMETHING THAT WE

46
00:05:32.765 --> 00:05:40.573
HAVE TO LOOK AT, AND PLAN FOR,
BE PROACTIVE.
>> AGAIN, CONGRATULATIONS ON
YOUR INCREDIBLE CAREER. SHE'S A

47
00:05:40.573 --> 00:05:43.876
HALL-OF-FAMER, AND JUST A
CHAMPION IN SO MANY WAYS,
