Yow on Expansion
WRAL: N.C. State however never had a shot at the SEC according to Yow. “We’re not a part of that conversation. As a founding member of the ACC I can’t envision being anything else. Our focus needs to be doing our part as one athletic program to strengthen overall, the ACC.” Yow then put it […]
WRAL: Yow confident in direction of Wolfpack (Video)
WRAL.com: “First year goals were a lot about listening and learning, to be candid,†Yow said. “Learning about our culture, listening to our employees both administrators and coaches about what their needs were.

Debbie speaks
Dear Wolfpack Family, I am writing to share with you the status of the search for our new head coach for men’s basketball. There have been telephone conversations with successful coaches that did not develop into meetings — sometimes because we did not wish to pursue those coaches further and sometimes because the coach involved […]
Debbie Yow is watching, waiting
The News & Observer has this article today that comes on the heels of Debbie Yow’s local radio appearance earlier in the week.

And with it the triumphant return of tailgating. The following is the first part of […]
Debbie Yow brings ‘Wolfpack Unlimited’ in her first day
What a difference one person can make. As we discussed in this thread that you should take the time to read, all of a sudden many of the points that SFN and others were making while Lee Fowler was employed are finally acceptable to be made by many in the media. Amongst the points – […]
Yow makes good first impression
Debbie Yow made her first remarks as NC State’s director of athletics Friday a little after 2, and from initial reaction most people were quite pleased with what they heard. The straight talking Yow talked openly about her goals for NC State athletics and did not mince words about those goals being accomplished. She talked […]
My View: Dr. Debbie Yow Is Experienced And Successful
On May 5th, shortly after it was announced that Lee Fowler was leaving NC State I wrote a lengthy list of my idea of the requirements of who would have the best chance of success leading NC State’s athletics into the 2010 decade: In short, State should hire someone who meets this basic set of requirements. Quickly, […]
