Army's Kevin Anderson to take over Maryland athletic department

Maryland has hired Army athletic director Kevin Anderson for the same spot in its athletic director, multiple sources said.

Anderson has worked at West Point since December 2004. He replaces Debbie Yow, who announced her departure for N.C. State in June.

A source said Anderson is expected to be introduced on Tuesday in College Park.

Anderson's hire was first reported by the Washington Post.

The move was made barely two weeks after Wallace D. Loh was hired as Maryland's president on Aug. 17.

He was the director of annual giving at Stanford between 1993 and 1995, and was the assistant athletic director for annual programs and later the associate athletic director for development during a stint at California.

Growing up, I've always had something...

With Anderson in Terps' fold, Randy Eaton hopeful to be "part of the equation" With Army athletic director Kevin Anderson on his way to take the same job at Maryland per multiple sources, one leftover question concerns the status of interim athletic director Randy Eaton. Eaton, who has filled in for two months since Debbie Yow left for N.C. State, is also the Maryland' athletic department's chief financial officer. Reached by telephone this afternoon, Eaton couldn't confirm Anderson was Maryland's choice --- in part because Eaton's e-mail was down for much of the day. Eaton said he knew Anderson was the AD at Army, but was not too familiar with his new potential boss....
