ISU Athletic Director Paul Bubb has been put on paid administrative leave.

The athletic department was informed this morning at 10 o'clock Assistant Director Jeff Tingey would be the Acting Athletic Director.

An investigation is underway; no other information was released.

About Paul Bubb-

Bubb is in his third full year as the Director of Athletics for Idaho State University, and he brings with him a breadth of knowledge culled from an athletic administrative career that spans both coasts of America as well as the borders of Idaho. Bubb comes to Pocatello highly respected among regional and national circles.

Paul came to Idaho State as the Assistant Athletic Director for Development in August of 2003 from the University of Maine, where he served as both Interim Athletic Director and Senior Associate Athletic Director. Within a year at Idaho State he was promoted to Senior Associate Athletic Director.

As Director of Athletics, Paul has overseen the successful implementation of P.A.W.S. (Proud Athletes Working and Serving), a program which has vastly improved ISU's student-athlete community outreach efforts. He also has seen three conference titles in his first 15 months, and is currently working with architects, university administration, and community focus groups to help implement ISU's Facilities Master Plan, which was to be unveiled in the summer of 2006

As ISU's Sr. Associate Athletic Director, Bubb oversaw the areas of media relations, development, corporate sales, marketing, promotions and fiscal affairs. In just six short months the corporate sales program grew from $360,000 in partnerships to over $500,000. An additional $380,000 in trade agreements had Bengal Sport Properties generating just under $900,000 for the first time in school history. In 2006, Bengal Sport Properties surpassed the $1 million mark.

Before coming to Idaho State, Bubb spent the previous two years at the University of Maine as the Sr. Associate Athletic Director and the Interim Athletic Director. Under Bubb's guidance as the Interim Athletic Director, Maine teams excelled both on and off the court. More student-athletes were recognized as Scholar-Athletes than ever before, and Maine teams won or shared conference championships in the sports of football, baseball, women's basketball, and women's field hockey. Bubb directed new fund raising and building initiatives that included a new baseball and softball concession and service facility and the lead gift in a major facility campaign to expand the Alfond Arena with new team locker rooms, coaches' offices, ticket operations and a Hall of Fame concourse.

In addition to heading up the development operations at Idaho State and Maine, Bubb has been responsible for direct oversight or serving on the athletic development programs at Southern Illinois University, Drake University, Cal State Northridge, and Boise State University. At Boise State Bubb implemented a new Scholarship Seating Program that helped take the Broncos from raising just over $900,000 in 1999 to over $1.3 million in three years.

Bubb served Cal State Northridge as the Director of Athletics from July 1995 until November 1998. In his first year as Athletic Director he led the Matadors into the Big Sky Conference and quickly saw Northridge develop as a major force in the league. A majority of Northridge's 20 teams finished in the top third of their respective conference races within the first three years and non-Big Sky sports at Northridge also excelled. Softball advanced to the College World Series, baseball advanced to the NCAA Division I regionals, and men's volleyball consistently ranked among the Top Ten in the nation. Bubb directed major renovations to Matador Gymnasium, Matador Field (softball) and Matador Diamond (baseball). All new scoreboards were installed for baseball, softball, basketball and football under Bubb's direction. The university also received a cash gift of $500,000 from a corporate partner in 1995, the largest cash corporate gift in the university's history at the time.

Bubb holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Monmouth College (IL) and earned his master of science degree in Sport Management at Western Illinois University. Born on January 9, 1957 in Macomb, Illinois, Bubb was married to Susan Lynn Oaks on October 5, 1985 in Monmouth. The couple has one daughter, Kallan Michelle, born June 1, 1994.

About Jeff Tingey-

Jeff Tingey is in his first year as Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing and Corporate Sales, bringing with him a vast amount of experience from both the Mountain West and the Big Sky Conference.

As the Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing and Corporate Sales, Tingey oversees all Bengal Sport Properties and ISU's corporate partner program and he provides leadership and oversight for marketing and promotions. He will also serve as a member of the senior staff for the athletic department.

Tingey had spent the previous year at Brigham Young, where he handled the marketing profile for football, coordinating game-day presentation, scripts, and pre and post-game activities for the football team. Jeff also oversaw the marketing profiles for men's volleyball, women's soccer, women's basketball, softball, golf, cross country, and track and field. Tingey also coordinated many athletic department special events and trade accounts.

Jeff graduated from Weber State University, where he ran track for two years, from 2000-2002. While there, he worked as an intern in the Weber State marketing department, and was then hired as the Assistant Marketing Director after graduating, staying there for four years. While with the Wildcats, he was responsible for the marketing and promotions for women's soccer, volleyball, and basketball, and he also handled a variety of special events for the Wildcats, including the football tailgate party and Big Sky Conference Tournaments. He and his wife Amber have one son, Ammon.

Journal
Bubb placed on paid leave


Athletic director Paul Bubb was placed on paid administrative leave on Thursday for an indefinite period of time, Idaho State administrators confirmed.

No reason was given for the action.

''It's a personnel action. We'll wait and see,'' said Idaho State President Arthur Vailas. ''I'm not allowed to disclose a reason at this time. It is not termination.''
Jeff Tingey ascended to the role of acting athletic director. Tingey is the assistant athletic director for marketing and corporate sales.

''He has all kinds of training,'' Vailas said of Tingey. ''For this emergency situation, he's the best person.''

" He should never have been hired based on his past. ISU just keeps going after the ring, but never work to get there. "

Nate wrote on Mar 6, 2008 8:31 PM:

" You can blame Richard Bowen for this hire. Jim Senter quit after, what, a year on the job? Senter had hired Bubb as his right hand man (I have heard he hired Bubb for the brawn, Senter was the brain). Bowen should have conducted another search, but he chose not to. There are some great candidates out there, so I hope ISU conducts a national search. If somebody inhouse gets it after the search, so be it. But don't settle. "

I appreciate you putting the stories on the blog. Channel six delayed putting the information on their website because they had exclusive information about the situation that they were keeping from their competition. As always the most reliable source for local news in Eastern Idaho is NBC News Channel Six.

I want to know what that exclusive information was since I wasn't able to catch the news last night?
