CSUN NOTEBOOK: STADIUM REPORT IS FINISHED, BUT WHO GETS IT NOW? : FINAL SAY ON CSUN SITE IS UP IN AIR.Byline: Chris Branam Daily News Staff Writer They're going to deliver the report. Who gets it is a good question. David Honda, the chair of the fact-finding committee responsible for writing a report about a potential site for a new Cal State Northridge football stadium, said he's not sure who will be receiving the document. ``I asked Sam if he wants it,'' Honda said, referring to CSUN CSUN California State University Northridge interim athletic director Athletic director (commonly, "athletics director") is a position at many American colleges and universities, as well as in larger high schools and middle schools, which oversees the work of the coaches and related staff involved in intercollegiate or interscholastic athletic Sam Jankovich Sam Jankovich was born in Butte, Montana and lettered in football while playing for the University of Montana in 1957. He played linebacker and offensive line. A knee injury ended his career. After graduation, he coached a couple of Montana high school football teams. . Honda said the committee is in the final stages of completing the stadium report, which is more than 100 pages and describes the validity of three proposals: an 8,000-seat facility about 75 yards south of the existing football stadium on North Campus, a renovation of Pierce College In 2006 the Library won a national Excellence award.

In the time the committee has been writing the report, CSUN president Blenda Wilson resigned. Wilson was going to have final approval over the new site, based upon the report's findings. Louanne Kennedy, a provost at CSUN, was named interim president just weeks ago. Which begs the question: Who will make the recommendation on a new CSUN football stadium, Wilson or Kennedy? A source close to the school said last week that Charles Reed This article is about the British politician. For the Pennsylvania Congressman, see Charles Manning Reed.

Wilson's resignation takes effect in late May or early June. An announcement regarding the stadium report, originally to have been completed in February, will probably be made this week, Honda said. ``I'm trying to keep my little group running in the same direction,'' Honda said of his 12-member committee.
