It's funny, and great, that the school is embracing the Purple Family concept. It 100% was a Bob Fordism...and I now see it in marketing, tweets, Facebook, etc. It's great, and a distinguishing factor of our school.

The VP position is new - it elevates the previous position to a higher decision making level

The duties are very similar to the previous position

Hopefully as a VP the new hire will have more sway over these issues

It is really funny. In large part its Ford's legacy to teh unviersity. Football had a very focsed impact until now. We have roughly 1100 alumni. Purplefam is transcendant. i hope it contiues to spread/
