Chancellor Randy Woodson introduced Debbie Yow, younger sister to the late Kay Yow, as N.C. State’s next athletics director at a mid-day press conference Friday.
Yow, who spent 16 years as Maryland’s athletics director, will replace Lee Fowler who will leave the position June 30 following a 10-year tenure at State.
Yow said that although the task will be challenging, she will aim to reunite a fan base that has been fractured by underperformance in recent years.
“The No. 1 thing to bring [the fans] together — winning,” Yow said.
Yow will begin July 15 with a base salary of $350,000
