Northridge Hires Jankovich
Sam Jankovich, former University of Miami athletic director and New England Patriots chief operating officer, was hired Tuesday as interim athletic director at Cal State Northridge.
University President Blenda J. Wilson said Jankovich, 64, who has worked as a sports management consultant in recent years, will serve as athletic director for the rest of the school year.
Wilson appointed a seven-member search committee Tuesday to replace former athletic director Paul Bubb permanently. Wilson said she hopes to conclude the search and announce the hiring of an athletic director before the end of the spring semester.
Bubb resigned on Nov. 3, a week after former Cal State Northridge women’s basketball coach Michael Abraham was charged with selling crack cocaine.
Jankovich is scheduled to work at least through June 30, 1999, or until a permanent candidate is selected.
