Florida State University has a new interim athletic director. FSU President T.K. Wetherell has named William Proctor as the interim Special Assistant to the President for Athletics.? This temporary position was created to fill the void created by the resignation of Dave Hart, Jr.? Proctor is the current vice president of the FSU Athletics Committee and chairman of its Executive Committee.? He has also assisted FSU in its NCAA Recertification project during the past year, while also serving on the Governance and Commitment to Rules Compliance Subcommittee.? Wetherell doesn’t have a permanent replacement in mind, but he does know who he doesn’t want.<\/p>\n

?We will be able to attract the person we want,” Wetherell said.? “But to be very honest with you, we are looking for somebody who is committed to Florida State, we want them to believe in our values and our system, if it is all about money then that?s probably not going to be the person we are looking for.?<\/p>\n

Hart’s contract didn’t expire until January 2008, but he opted to leave early after President Wetherell informed him the contract would not be renewed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
