Bob Grant isn’t sure what he’ll do in the post-retirement phase of his life, but the Wright State athletic director has a pretty good idea of what he WON’T be doing.
“I’m not going to Del Boca Vista with the white shoes, white pants and white belt and playing shuffleboard. That’s not happening,” he said, referring to the senior village featured on “Seinfeld.”
“I want to still be involved in something. I’ve had thoughts for years of what my own business might look like, what consulting might look like. That’s something I can concentrate on and work toward.”
The 59-year-old Grant, who has been the AD at Wright State for 16 years and on staff for more than 30, announced Wednesday he was stepping down effective March 31.
Joylynn Brown, the deputy AD, will move into Grant’s spot on an interim basis and is the heir apparent.
Grant’s tenure transformed Raider athletics — from home-run hires, to facility upgrades, to unprecedented sports success at the school, especially the last five years.
