Sept. 4, 2003
Four new members will join the Intercollegiate Athletics Advisory Council, which meets this weekend at Purdue.
Founded in 1993 to provide advice and counsel to Athletics Director Morgan Burke and his senior administrative staff, the 24-member council has representatives of each of the 18 Boilermaker sports.
Morgan Burke, director of intercollegiate athletics, praised the work of the council.
"Advisory council members give us unvarnished opinions on how we're doing as a department," he said. "As we strive to build a nationally prominent athletics program, we need the guidance and input of our former student-athletes. Their advice is invaluable."
The new members announced for 2003 are: John Bullock (football), Bob Ford (basketball), Dale Schwan (football), and Tom Spurgeon (golf).
Each member serves a four-year term that can be renewed once. The council meets annually during the P-Awards weekend.
