A Trying Week for WVU

Amid the reported loss of mens basketball coach John Beilein to Michigan (different story here), West Virginia University continues the rocky process of finding its next president.

The Parkersburg News checks in with a local member of the search committee on the tumult that has arisen over the selection process. That article also notes that the state Republican Party chairman, Dr. Doug McKinney, has weighed in on the issue.

The Charleston Daily Mail also hears from McKinney, as well as from Gov. Joe Manchin, who defends the search process and those overseeing it.

MetroNews, meanwhile, has audio from an interview with candidate and Portland State University President Dan Bernstine as it focuses on the ongoing visits by the finalists to the Morgantown campus.

As far as Coach Beilein goes, it's actually the doing (or lack thereof) of AD "Asbestos Ed" Pastilong... fire his ass!
