In an update on their web site the Eugene Register Guard newspaper has confirmed, with Jim Bartko, that he is coming back to the University of Oregon.
"I think there are some great things that can be done and that I can be a small part of,” Bartko told The Register-Guard."
"In his role as senior associate AD, Bartko will be involved with the arena project, with planning for the 2008 Olympic Trials and with funding long-term sources of funding for the athletic department."
"More details in Wednesday’s Register-Guard."
An official announcement is expected as soon as Wednesday.
To quote Oregonian sports columnist John Canzano in today's Oregonian:
With Knight on board with the arena project, and booster/friend Kilkenny serving as athletic director, and Bartko seemingly headed back, it feels as if the Knights Templars are assembling in Eugene.
A Good day for the Ducks! Go Ducks!
