Interesting. I've had the feeling for a while that Howard is pretty ambitious, so he certainly doesn't seem like he'll be around for a long time.
Maybe Gregory Dell'omo will want to come back if Howard leaves. He's had a pretty rocky tenure at Rider because of some issues with a satellite campus there.
Sounds like a S show down there, but fact remains he applied. Not sure when his current contract runs out, but would think the school is making contingency plans. Missing out on MAAC invitation still stinks.
