Opportunity for the Cougs: A chat with WSU Athletic Director Anne McCoy
Manage episode 447845530 series 3518978
As the Pac-12’s remaining members—Washington State University and Oregon State University—began rebuilding the conference, WSU President Kirk Schulz announced in June 2024 that Anne McCoy was the new permanent athletics director.
McCoy hit the ground running earlier in the year as interim AD, since she has worked for WSU Athletics since 2001 in almost every department. She faces a lot of challenges in her new role…along with some exciting opportunities.
Washington State Magazine editor Larry Clark met with McCoy in the athletic director’s office on the WSU Pullman campus to chat about stepping in as AD; the future of Pac-12 and Cougar sports in a rapidly evolving national college sports landscape; the student athlete experience; and how Washington State fans can play their part in the bright new future of WSU athletics.

The podcast music is by WSU emeritus professor and composer Greg Yasinitsky.
