Newest OVC Member’s Athletic Director
(St. Louis, MO) – Western Illinois is the newest and eleventh member of the Ohio Valley Conference. Director of Athletics Paul A. Bubb is midwest guy that loves Leathernecks’ sports and is leading the program into this exciting stage of athletics history.
WIC is joining the OVC during a time of resurgence and growing stability and is a natural fit. Leathernecks’ sports fit the OVC geographically, academically and financially. Mr. Bubb received his masters degree from Western and is enjoying his second full year as the Director of Athletics. While working in college administration and sports administration for thirty years, WIU is his ‘dream job’.
Bubb and Valley Hoops Insider Harry Schroeder discussed the Leathernecks’ move to the OVC and the strengths of the WIU athletic department.
Bubb believes regional rivalries will be advantageous to the growth of WIU athletics and points to the deepening of a rivalry with Eastern Illinois as a key ingredient.
