Ryan Recker Podcast June 10, 2011 - Dan Hicks

The end of the 2010-11 University of Arizona sports season and the start of summer was supposed to be uneventful, but there are plenty of things to discuss as Ryan travels to McKale Center and talks to UA Athletic Director Greg Byrne in the first official Ryan Recker Podcast. This week, UA President Robert Shelton announced he was leaving to take charge of the Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix. Last month saw Byrne retain head basketball coach Sean Miller after Miller flirted with the Maryland job, starting point guard Lamont 'MoMo' Jones transfer to Iona and the UA softball team missing out on the Women's College World Series for only the second time in over 20 years. Byrne discusses the ups and downs of his first season as Athletic Director, what's ahead next year and beyond and his interaction with fans as a celebrity tweeter.
