Penn State officially introduced new athletic director Patrick Kraft today. The former Boston College and Temple AD will start in Happy Valley on July 1.
President-elect Neeli Bendapudi officially introduced Patrick Kraft as the successor to Sandy Barbour, a role he’ll begin July 1.“We are 31 strong, and we are committed to winning national championships and conference championships in 31 sports,” Kraft said when he was introduced Friday. “We will continue the tradition of winning. We will have success with honor and win. That tradition is Penn State.
As for the timeline for renovating Beaver Stadium, Kraft doesn’t quite have one yet, but he referenced Fenway Park as a stadium that’s been modernized, while still keeping the allure and history. “What other opportunity are you gonna bring 107,000 people onto your campus and engage and create memories?” he said. “Penn State is Penn State football.”Kraft didn’t just stick to football, though. He referenced other coaches on Penn State’s campus such as men’s basketball coach Micah Shrewsberry, who he referred to as a “home run,” wrestling coach Cael Sanderson, and men’s hockey coach Guy Gadowsky, who he told was going to a Frozen Four.
“Their experience here at Penn State is paramount,” he said. “I promise them … they will have the greatest student-athlete experience in the country — period.”
