Dick Baddour bids farewell

Posted Nov 11, 2011
When Bubba Cunningham takes over Monday, Dick Baddour will pass down an athletic department facing potential NCAA sanctions and possible elimination of varsity sports due to a budget crisis. But even as he cleans out his office to make way for his successor, Baddour does it with his head held high. “Everything’s just kind of packed up, but it’s okay,” he said. “This department is in terrific shape.” (Daily Tar Heel)
