Scandal brewing?

Can't blame her.  How could anyone look at themselves in the mirror in the morning knowing that they were associated with utsa?  

Conspiracy theory:  This was a forced resignation due to shady practices surfacing at utsa.

Probably after looking out over all the UTSA fans every home game she realized how Vile and Horrid they were, she said to her self "Im better than this!"

she is stepping down from her position for personal reasons, effective immediately.

So she's either dying or the NCAA came knockin' and we're about to watch some serious slapping the little guy G5 go down, and she's fleeing a la Pete Carroll at USC.

I get along great with most UNT fans great.  I follow the UNT program along with other CUSA teams out of interest and support, but comments like this are ugly and uncalled for.  Pretty poor showing of class.  Hickey has done many great things for UTSA, big one being FINALLY getting us a football program we have all been waiting on and one to be proud of.  I hope it is nothing health related and she has much success on her future ventures.

If there is one thing UTSA is known for, it's class.

Whoa.  A UTSA fan calling out a UNT fan for 'poor class'!
Please send more friendly UTSA fans here, and please forgive most here for having a very negative outlook on your fellow fans because we've been trolled pretty hard on this board by your brethren.

That said, I really hope Hickey is in good health, and she's just retiring or moving up in whatever career path she's wanting to take.

She did amazing things there. Utsa respect growing from this fan.  Thank you for your support.

Go Beat Baylor!

Oh please, climb on down from that high horse buddy. Nobody is wishing ill on Hickey. It is fishy that she would suddenly step down like this, but nobody was hoping she or her family were hurting.

Would be nice to get a Big 12 win.  No matter how poor the other team is playing.

As @Withers940 mentioned above, I think we all hope this is not health related for Hickey.  Instead, let's hope that her sudden resignation is just due to good old fashion NCAA sanctions, maybe even the death penalty.

While we are on the subject of class, say hello to @correcamino and @RowdyTalk for me.  I believe they are excellent examples of the UT-San Antonio fanbase.

Sorry to hear you have been getting negative feedback from UTSA fans.  I don't condone poor behavior like that and most true alumni seem to feel the same way.  There will always be poor class acts though at any school unfortunately.

I hope that all is okay with her and that she just decided that it was time to go.    If they wanted an interim Athletic Director they could always contact RV, couldn't they ???

[MGNation92]

Maybe all this "cheating" everyone swears Wilson has been doing is finally coming to light and she decided to get while the gettin's good. 

Maybe she just wants to retire. Who knows

We'll send you his resume.  Have you seen our shiny new stadium? You guys want one of those right?

Geez Huff. I know it is utsa, but that's kind of harsh.

I have a good fundraising director recommendation as well.   Don't expect her to call you though.  You'll have to call her.

Quick update for you:  A little over a year ago, RV was given the opportunity to seek success elsewhere.

I read the two links below. There is food for thought there...like maybe the new president and she had different visions. Just SWAG.
