Towson University athletic director Tim Leonard's resume, with stops at colleges in places as far-flung as Boise, Idaho; Orlando, Fla.; and Dallas, suggests he knows something about change and new challenges.
That's a good thing.
Because life in college athletics is on the verge of seismic change, and for an institution such as Towson, failure to get ready for the upheaval is courting an extremely unpleasant outcome, in Leonard's view.
"There's a lot that we don't know about the future of college athletics. The one thing that is certain, though, is change," said Leonard, who arrived at Towson in 2013 from Southern Methodist University. Some of his other stops were at the University of Central Florida, his alma mater Boise State and Illinois State.
