Fowler out as NC State's director of athletics

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

05/04/2010 - Raleigh, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Lee Fowler will resign from his position as North Carolina State athletics director effective June 30, the school announced Tuesday.

Fowler has led the Wolfpack's athletics department for the past 10 years, and both he and chancellor Randy Woodson mutually agreed on his decision to step down.

"Naturally I am disappointed that I will not see firsthand the fruits of 10 year's work, but I have the greatest confidence that with the caliber of facilities and coaches we now have, along with a talented and dedicated administrative staff, the athletics program is poised for great success going forward," Fowler said.

The university will honor Fowler's contract, which expires in 2013 and calls for a $280,000 annual salary.

An interim director will be announced prior to Fowler's departure, and a search for his permanent replacement will begin immediately, according to Woodson.
