Cardinals looking for MAC title HOVERBOARDS BANNED IN HALLS New additions, defense lead team to early success

|

RYAN FLANERY GENERAL REPORTER @Flanery_13

The Ball State men’s basketball team has made drastic improvements from last season, and it has shown through the first part of the season.

The Cardinals started Mid-American Conference play four wins (9-4) ahead of last year (5-6), and split its first two games in conference.

Currently sitting at 10-5 (1-1), the Cardinals are gunning for the conference championship.

“We are taking big steps forward and have improved tremendously from the

Bradley and Eastern Illinois games,” head coach James Whitford said. “This team has developed a good culture moving forward.”

With key additions such as Ryan Weber and Jeremie Tyler, Ball State has shown it has proven scorers and depth on the defensive end.

Ball State’s depth will be a crucial part to their success in the MAC. Players like Jeremiah Davis and Sean Sellers, who both started the majority of last season, have developed new roles providing scoring and defense off the bench.

Coach Whitford’s philosophy is clear, and his players know it. The Cardinals cannot compete for a championship without playing great defense.

“We have to fight to get better every day,” Whitford said.

Hoverboards are no longer permitted in university residence halls after the university sent out an email over break.

The ban is due to safety precautions, and the university urged students living in residence halls to leave their boards at home.

According to TODAY, Amazon has pulled nearly all brands of hoverboards from its site while federal regulators investigate the reports of them bursting into flames.

So far, there have been 11 reports in 10 states, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Ball State wants to protect its students from any potential harm these electric self-balancing scooters may cause.

“As safety is a top priority for Housing and Residence Life, hoverboards are not permitted in any resident hall building,” the email said.

After being open for eight months, Puerta Al Paraiso Mexican Grill and Bar obtained a liquor license Dec. 3 and started serving liquor Dec. 16.

Fernando Licona Garcia, manager of the Village Mexican restaurant, said he had always planned on getting a liquor license, but it wasn’t available due to a limited number of licenses and population requirements.

The restaurant had to negotiate with someone who already possessed a license and purchase the rights to it, Garcia said. After purchasing the rights, there was an application, court hearing and approval process.

Garcia said he wanted the license to maximize profits, and saw the license as more of a need than a want.

that can easily outdo even the food,” Garcia said. “To be able to serve real margaritas in a Mexican establishment — it’s the type of business that kind of needs that liquor license to operate as a real Mexican restaurant.”

Garcia said that getting this license “opens the door” for the restaurant to be open at night because “at nighttime, college kids look for alcohol and liquor when they go out and drink with friends.”

Since Puerta is located in the Village, it can now compete with other bars such as Brother’s Bar and Grill, The Chug and Be Here Now.

“Honestly, people should stop being lazy and just walk,” said Spencer Walter, a sophomore accounting major.

The more students who commented on Facebook about the email, the more the comments turned into jokes.

“They’re modern day Heelys, constantly being banned in public areas and everyone silently judges you for owning one,” said Dalton Martin, a junior telecommunications major.

PUERTA’S HOURS MONDAY-THURSDAY

11 a.m.-2 p.m., 5-11 p.m.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY

11-3 a.m.

Garcia’s target market is mostly Ball State’s campus, which was another motivator for getting the license, he said.

Before getting the license, Puerta only had beer, wine and agave margaritas made with a wine specialty product rather than tequila, so the restaurant did not operate as late at night. Garcia said he expects higher traffic now that the restaurant can serve liquor margaritas.

​ all State announced hoverboards B are no longer allowed in residence halls. The ban is due to safety precautions, such as the possibility of a fire.

The university’s Board of Trustees held its end-of-semester meetings on Dec. 18, covering topics ranging from this year’s Campus Fire and Safety Report to a 12 percent increase in applications to Ball State from this time last year.

Here is a selection of topics covered and programs approved by the university’s highest governing body: Room and board rates Ball State’s on-campus housing cost will rise 2.9 percent next year, said Bernie Hannon, vice president for business affairs. That means a student living on campus in a double room in LaFollette Complex with a plan for 21 meals per week will pay $10,541 for the 2016-17 academic year.

Fire and safety report Ball State’s crime numbers remained relatively consistent in 2014 compared with past years — with the exception of drug abuse arrests. 2014 saw a drop in drug abuse arrests by nearly 40 percent since 2013, while discipline referrals for the same crime jumped nearly 10 times.

Kay Bales, vice president for student affairs, said this disparity was the result of the university’s decision to issue disciplinary referrals to students found with small amounts of drugs as opposed to arresting them.

“This is a part of our focus on community policing,” she said. “I think students are seeing police in a very different way.”

cussed the university’s relatively new program of offering professors and other faculty the chance to phase into retirement rather than abruptly stopping work. The program, which has been in effect for four years, allows emeritus faculty members to drop down to half-time for up to three years, then fully retire.

Of the 87 people who have retired since the program was enacted, 14 have gone through the program, with five of those choosing to accelerate through the program.

Campus and faculty diversity The university has taken several steps over the past year to focus on increasing diversity awareness, Bales said. She reported several strides the university has made over the past decade, including a 19 percent increase of underrepresented minorities at the university.

The university has hired an affirmative action specialist whose job it is to ensure the university is assessing and hiring members of underrepresented minorities for positions when they are the best fit for the job. The biggest obstacle, Bales said, was that many students and faculty weren’t aware of the programs offered to en-

hance diversity.

“We did find that some things have already happened on campus, so our charge is to educate people on the things that are already happening,” she said.

President Paul W. Ferguson touted the university’s commitment to holding dialogues and programs focused on diversity as a reason students have remained content with the university in the light of national anger and unrest based around issues of racial bias and prejudices.

“The integrated, comprehensive approach to focus on [diversity] has really born the fruit of peace on campus during this difficult time for the nation,” Ferguson said.

Admissions Ball State’s number of applications from prospective students is up 12 percent from where it was this time last year, Interim Vice President for strategic communications Julie Hopwood said.

The number of students accepting admission to the university is also up 21 percent this year.

More than 2,400 prospective students have visited campus this year.

Hopwood said the university’s creation of a digital campus tour has been well received by prospective students.

Bill would allow guns at public universities Concealed carry not popular among college presidents

|

KAITLIN LANGE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF editor@bsudailynews.com

An Indiana representative proposed a bill that would allow firearms at public universities, including Ball State.

House Bill 1055 would make it illegal for state agencies — including universities — to regulate firearm possession and transportation on stateowned land.

“Where a lot of these shootings are happening is gun-free zones,” said Rep. Jim Lucas (R), the author of the bill. “I’ve seen this back and forth in the media, and I’m tired of sitting on the sidelines.”

Joan Todd, university spokesperson, said in an email that Ball State currently doesn’t allow firearms on campus — a policy that is consistent with other universities in the state.

“The university believes there are more appropriate methods to improve safety, [like] by asking community members to be aware and report suspicious activities to police,” Todd said.

She added, “The university will, of course, always follow the law.”

In a November panel on gun ownership and rights, Jim Duckham, chief of the University Police Department, said he wouldn’t support policies that allowed firearms at Ball State.

“I don’t want guns on campus. I don’t think it’s a good thing,” he said. “I’ve

An Indiana representative proposed a bill to allow firearms at public universities. Ball State does not currently allow firearms on campus, but that could change if the bill is passed.

heard the arguments, and you’re just not going to convince me.”

Likewise, in 2014, a Ball State study asked university presidents about their views on concealed carry. Out of 401 college chief executives surveyed in “University Presidents’ Perceptions and Practice Regarding the Carrying of Concealed Handguns on College Campuses,” 95 percent responded that they opposed concealed carry on campus.

However, there is some support for the right to carry firearms on campus.

An unofficial Ball State student group, Students for Concealed Carry, supports students’ rights to use their concealed carry permits on college campuses.

Last spring, the group participated in Empty Holster Protest Week, wearing their holsters around campus to draw attention to the cause.

HB 1055 is nearly identical to bills Lucas presented during Indiana’s 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 legislative sessions. None of them received hearings on the floor.

Lucas is more optimistic

WELCOME BACK STUDENTS!

that his bill will receive a hearing this time around because of the media attention surrounding firearms. He said last year leadership was more focused on fiscal bills.

HB 1055 isn’t the only bill concerning firearms during the 2016 legislative session.

Lucas is the author of another bill, House Bill 1056, which would allow people to carry firearms without a license to carry. Sen. Jim Tomes (R) also filed a bill that would allow those convicted of alcohol violations, like drunken driving, to still receive a license to carry a handgun.

Lucas and Tomes’ bills contrast with President Barack Obama’s recently announced 10-point plan.

Obama hopes to clarify who is a licensed dealer, making it harder for people to purchase firearms without a background check, according to the Associated Press.

Although Obama mentioned recent mass shootings when he announced his plan, an Associated Press review found that his new measures probably wouldn’t have prevented many of the recent shootings, like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.

Lucas hopes his bill will keep people safer, if passed. But first, it needs to get a hearing.

“Any school shooting is going on in a gun-free zone,” Lucas said. “I’m openly saying right now that those laws are dangerous. Gunfree zone laws are getting people killed. They’re disarming those that obey the law, and they’re doing absolutely nothing for those that don’t obey the law.”

SB 100 prohibits discrimination due to military active duty status, sexual orientation or gender identity.

This bill prohibits discrimination due to military active duty status and sexual orientation. It also provides some protection for religious reasons. Unlike SB 100 and 2, it does not apply to transgender individuals. Instead, the bill calls for a study on transgender discrimination.

Also unlike SB 100, this bill doesn’t override any local ordinances already in place. It does, however, prevent new local nondiscriminatory ordinances that go against state law.

OBAMA TAKES EXECUTIVE ACTION ON GUN CONTROL

President Barack Obama announced executive actions intended to expand background checks for some firearm purchases and to step up federal enforcement of the nation’s gun laws during a press conference on Tuesday in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C.

President Barack Obama’s plan to strengthen controls on guns in the U.S. is meeting swift resistance from gun rights groups, Republicans and even a few Democrats who say it’s up to Congress to enact new policies on firearms.

Obama announced a 10-point plan to try to keep guns from people who shouldn’t have them. The centerpiece is new federal guidance that seeks to clarify who is “in the business” of selling firearms and has to get a federal license.

sellers don’t. Obama is aiming to narrow that loophole so that more firearms sold at gun shows, flea markets or online are subject to background checks.

Other steps include 230 new examiners the FBI will hire to process background checks. And Obama is directing federal agencies to research smart gun technology to reduce accidental shootings and asking Congress for $500 million for mental health care. Further steps aim to better track lost guns and prevent trusts or corporations from buying dangerous weapons without background checks.

NORTH KOREA CLAIMS TO HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPON North Korea’s claim to have detonated a thermonuclear weapon in an underground test has raised worldwide worry about what really happened, whether the isolated nation is closer to being capable of hitting the U.S. mainland with a nuclear missile and whether it brings war closer.

The Pentagon called this an “unacceptable and irresponsible provocation” that threatens peace in Asia.

The weapon test, if confirmed, could mean North Korea is on a path to possessing a bomb of far greater destructive power than the types it detonated in three previ-

ous underground tests, in 2006, 2009 and 2013. So if the North Koreans were to field such a weapon, known as a thermonuclear or hydrogen bomb, then it could raise the stakes in a long-running struggle to reunite the Korean peninsula under its own terms.

That, in turn, would force tough decisions on the United States, which has a treaty obligation to defend South Korea — with nuclear weapons if necessary.

On the other hand, North Korea is believed to already possess a number of atomic bombs and is developing longer-range missiles to deliver nuclear warheads.

TEL AVIV GUNMAN DIES IN SHOOTOUT WITH POLICE An Arab gunman who killed three Israelis in Tel Aviv last week was slain Friday in a shootout with police special forces, authorities said, following a massive manhunt that put Israelis on edge amid months of near-daily Palestinian attacks on civilians and soldiers.

The gunman was hiding in a building in his hometown of Arara in northern Israel, said police spokeswoman Luba Samri. As the special forces closed in on him in the residential area, he came

out shooting, she said.

Authorities had identified the gunman as Nashat Milhem who opened fire at a bar on a busy Tel Aviv street on Jan. 1, killing two people and wounding six others in chilling video that was caught on security cameras at a health food store next door. He later also shot and killed an Arab taxi driver.

Milhem fired at police on Friday with the same gun he used in the Tel Aviv shooting, Samri said.

ARMED PROTESTERS TAKE OVER WILDLIFE REFUGE The remote high desert of eastern Oregon became the latest flashpoint for anti-government sentiment as armed protesters occupied a national wildlife refuge to object to a prison sentence for local ranchers for burning federal land.

Ammon Bundy — the son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a 2014 standoff with the government over grazing rights — is among the people at the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Ammon Bundy posted a video on his Facebook page asking for militia members to come help him. He said, “This is not a time to stand down. It’s a time to stand up and come to Harney County,” where Burns. Ore., is located.

Bundy and other militia members came to Burns last month, a small town about 280

miles southeast of Portland, Ore. They were upset over the looming prison sentences for local ranchers Dwight and Steven Hammond.

They went to the wildlife refuge late on Jan. 2 following a peaceful rally in Burns to support the ranchers.

Dwight Hammond, 73, and Steven Hammond, 46, said they lit the fires on federal land in 2001 and 2006 to reduce the growth of invasive plants and protect their property from wildfires.

The two were convicted of the arsons three years ago and served time — the father three months, the son one year. But a federal judge ruled in October that their terms were too short under U.S. minimum sentencing law and ordered them back to prison for about four years each.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” topped the box office three weeks in a row as of Jan. 3. The movie grossed $740.3 million, passing “Titanic” and “Jurassic World.”

‘STAR WARS’ BOX OFFICE 2ND HIGHEST OF ALL TIME “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” marched confidently into the new year, raking in an additional $88.3 million over the New Year’s weekend and topping the box office for a third week, according to studio estimates Jan. 3.

In addition to setting a new high mark in New Year’s box office history, the record-busting film blew past the domestic grosses of both

For context, it took “Avatar” 72 days to reach $700 million. “Star Wars” did that in 16 days.

Finding the balance

MOM, FUGITIVE SON FLEE U.S. DURING INVESTIGATION The mother of a fugitive teen who used an “affluenza” defense after killing four people in a drunken crash was returned to Texas on Thursday to face a charge of helping her son evade capture.

Tonya Couch, who was deported from Mexico last week, arrived on a flight from Los Angeles and was taken to Tarrant County jail in handcuffs and leg irons. She is expected to be arraigned Friday on a charge of hindering the apprehension of a felon. Her bond was set at $1 million.

Authorities believe Couch and her 18-yearold son, Ethan Couch, fled Texas in November as prosecutors investigated whether Ethan Couch had violated his probation in the deadly 2013 drunken-driving wreck. They disappeared shortly after a video surfaced showing what appears to be Ethan at a party where people were drinking.

Ethan Couch is being held at an immigration detention center in Mexico City after winning a court reprieve that could lead to a weeks- or even months-long legal process in Mexico.

Junior Jessica Extine took first place in the 50 free with a time of 24.43 and the 100 free with 53.81. Sophomore Amanda Kedzierski finished first in the 100 breast stroke with a time of 1:06.28.

Junior Katie Horn won the 200 butterfly with a time of 2:06.88, and sophomore Andrea Richter’s 58.39 100 freestyle narrowly topped Horn’s 58.88 for a 1-2 finish.

Senior diver Madie Zirzow finished first in the one-meter dive with a score of 258.83.

COLIN GRYLLS WOMEN’S BASKETBALL REPORTER @Colin_Grylls

With temperatures challenging records over Winter Break, some Cardinals were challenging — and breaking — records themselves.

Here’s what you missed over break.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Senior guard Nathalie Fontaine set a school record with 43 points scored in the 73-53 win at University of Evansville on Dec. 21. Former Cardinal Tamara Bowie (200003) set the previous record of 40 points against Eastern Michigan on Jan. 27, 2001.

Fontaine increased her career point total to 1,818 to move into third-place on Ball State’s all-time leaderboard.

Overall, the team went 4-1 over break with wins against Evansville, St. Louis University, the University of Toledo and Miami University. Its lone loss was against Ohio University, 70-43, in Athens, Ohio.

The Cardinals improved to 10-4 and began Mid-American Conference play 2-1.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

The Cardinals sandwiched a three-game home winning streak between a pair of road losses, putting them at 10-5 (1-1 MAC) on the season.

Ball State dropped a road game at Indiana State before beating Alabama A&M, Chicago State and Toledo in Worthen Arena. On Saturday, the Cardinals lost in Athens.

Senior forward Bo Calhoun the most consistent, posting at least 10 points and six rebounds in all five games.

Redshirt junior Ryan Weber scored 21 points and

hauled in seven rebounds against Toledo in the Cardinals’ conference opener on Wednesday. Sophomore guard Francis Kiapaway scored 21 points at Ohio, but it was not enough to overcome the 79-73 deficit.

GYMNASTICS

Ball State gymnasts traveled to Lexington, Ky., to take on the 24th-ranked University of Kentucky Wildcats on Friday. The Cardinals lost 194.825-191.650, but several individuals had strong showings.

In the floor exercise, twotime defending MAC champion Denasiha Christian took second place with a

score of 9.850. Fellow senior Erin Patchey finished fourth with a score of 9.775.

Patchey and sophomore Jordyn Penny tied for third on the vault with a mark of 9.800, tying Patchey’s career high and setting a new top mark for Penny.

Sophomore Baylee Bell tied for third on the balance beam with a score of 9.750.

MEN’S VOLLEYBALL

Men’s volleyball lost 3-0 to Stanford in Worthen Arena on Friday, but the next day, the Cardinals bounced back with a sweep against Alderson Broaddus University.

Senior outside attacker Marcin Niemczewski record-

ed 12 kills against Stanford, and senior outside attacker Jack Lesure totaled 11 against Alderson Broaddus.

SWIM AND DIVE

Both the men’s and women’s teams competed in a co-ed double-dual meet against IUPUI and Xavier University on Friday.

The men lost to Xavier 170.5-116.5 and to IUPUI 201-96, but some players finished atop the leaderboards.

Junior Tanner Barton finished with the fastest time in the 200 butterfly at 1:52.60.

Junior Bradley Ridge finished second with a time of 1:55.18.

Sophomore Nate Slack’s

Ball State took third of five at the Bowling Green Opener on Jan. 9, but like other teams, individual efforts stood out.

Freshman sprinter Peyton Stewart posted a career-best time of 7.61 60m dash, the fastest time for a Cardinal sprinter since Amber Williams ran a 7.44 to win the 2009 MAC Indoor Track & Field championships.

Stewart finished second in the sprint but was fast enough to automatically qualify for the MAC Indoor Championship on Feb. 27 and 28 in Akron, Ohio.

In the 60m hurdles, freshman Jazmin Smith finished first with a career-best 8.82.

Senior Danielle Dahl set another career-best time in the 600m run with a time of 1:34.28, as she stayed undefeated in the event this year.

Sophomore guard Jeremie Tyler has been a key addition, proving he can score and defend. This team’s season is off to 10-5 start.

“We have a saying, ‘You build a castle one brick at a time.’ We are building this team one brick at a time.”

According to the KenPom rankings, Ball State has the 345th toughest schedule so far out of 351 teams. It helped build a strong record prior to league play, but there are two teams in the MAC under .500 (Miami, 6-8 and Western Michigan, 6-9).

Whitford could not think of another conference as balanced as the MAC. “This conference is deeper this year compared to most,” Whitford said. “The gap between the bottom and top of the league is not very high.”

Winning on the road has not come easy in the coach Whitford era. Ball State has played three true road games this year against Eastern Kentucky, Bradley and Indiana State, losing all three by a combined score of 234-205.

Whitford is looking to get his team out of the road slump and improve as conference play goes on.

“We must come out with more composure in order to focus and compete for 40 minutes,” Whitford said.

NEU:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “For me to come back here and have an opportunity to be the head coach at a place where I went to school, … what a great opportunity,” Neu said.

Neu graduated from Ball State in 1994. Following his college days, he kept working his way south. He’s had jobs in Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina and Louisiana.

On that stop in Augusta, Ga., Neu met his “rock star” — his wife Charmin. He said during his introductory press con-

ference Charmin is a big part of his success due to the sacrifices she makes.

In addition to being a “super mom” to their three kids — daughter Graycen, 15, and sons Carson, 13, and Chase, 5 — she’s helped bring Mike’s career full circle, from the Arena Football League to the National Football League and now back to Ball State and the college ranks.

Mike has 15 years of coaching experience and has experienced some nice success during his time on the sidelines.

Just ask his son Chase.

“My dad’s the boss,” Chase said during the press confer-

OUR VIEW

ence after raising his hand to speak. “And he’s the best at football, and I love him.”

In addition to the connection with his immediate family, Mike also has relatives living in the Indianapolis, Carmel and Fishers areas. He said he’s excited to be able to get back with them after a long time away from the state.

“You always lean on family in adversity and tough times, and there are going to be tough times and there’s going to be adversity,” he said.

“But I’m fortunate to have that support system. I love them. I miss them. … So, it’s exciting for me.”

The energy was evident the

minute the rumors of Mike’s hiring started swirling. No one said his new job would be easy, however.

Ball State is coming off a tough year, where it finished just 3-9. It was the team’s worst record under former coach Pete Lembo, who resigned to become an assistant coach for Maryland in the Big Ten. But Mike doesn’t shy away from his goals. He wants to lead the Cardinals to success on and off the turf at Scheumann Stadium.

“I want to develop great, young student-athletes that become great men,” he said. “When they leave

this institution, my goal would be for them to have a [Mid-American Conference] championship and to become a better man.”

Ball State President Paul W. Ferguson said Mike’s commitment to the development of student-athletes, along with fan engagement and career experience, are part of why the alumnus’s name rose to the top of a list of more than 50 candidates.

For Mike and Ball State, the match and connection were just right.

“I think we have been able to hire the right person at the right time,” Ferguson said.

“It’s right for him and his fam-

ily. … Welcome home, it’s back where you belong.”

As he was arriving back to Muncie for his press conference on Friday, Mike couldn’t help but think about the last time he was on a football field at Ball State. A four-year starter and record-breaking passer, he led the Cardinals to a win over Kent State and a MAC title.

And after his busy day in Muncie meeting with family, former teammates and alumni, he had a reassuring message for all the faithful Cardinals that came to hear him speak.

“I’ll make you proud,” he said.

LEMBO’S CONTRIBUTIONS SHOULD BE APPRECIATED It was a frustrating year for Ball State football fans.

Three wins, another quarterback change and the team’s worst overall record since the 2009 season.

Things got so bad that many Ball State followers were calling for the removal of fifthyear head coach Pete Lembo after the season.

To those in favor of a new coach, you’ve got your wish.

Lembo resigned on Dec. 22, and former Cardinal quarterback Mike Neu was hired two weeks later. Neu looks up to the challenge, and the vibe around campus is excitement surrounding his return. He’s got a pedigree of success in coaching and it seems like the right fit for Ball State.

But before we move on completely, let’s appreciate the five years that Pete Lembo gave to Ball State. After all, he did something as the Car-

dinals’ head coach that the 15 before him had not.

He was the first coach in Ball State history to win 30 games during his first four seasons on the sidelines. Not only that, he led the Cardinals to two straight bowl games in 2012-13 and only their third 10-win season in school history.

Yes, the last two seasons were rough for the Cardinals.

But these feats, along with the multiple other accolades Lembo accomplished in Muncie, can’t be ignored because of two subpar years.

It may have been time for him to go, but Lembo helped lay some important groundwork for this program.

“It is incredibly difficult to say goodbye after five very meaningful years and building so many wonderful relationships with student-athletes, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the community,” Lembo said in

a statement following resignation. “I tried to make a difference every day, and I am proud of our many accomplishments on and off the field.”

Lembo did make a difference. Just a couple years ago, he was one of the hottest coaching prospects in the Football Bowl Subdivision. His name was linked to the Wake Forest head coaching job in the Atlantic Coast Conference following the 2013 season.

He was named one of Athlon Sports’ Top 15 Coaches on the Rise last summer, and even after a 3-8 finish this season — his worst at Ball State — his career head coaching record is still 112-65.

Lembo had a strong roster during the middle of his tenure with Ball State, and it showed. When the better players — some of them NFL caliber — departed, the team naturally dropped off.

In addition to his work on the field, Lembo also had success in the community. He was a familiar face in Muncie, helped his students succeed in the classroom and was part of initiatives such as Cardinal Commitment.

He was valuable to the university. Not only was he head football coach, but he was also associate athletics director. He was Ball State’s highest-paid employee, making $514,250 in 2015.

Now Lembo will take his coaching talents to Maryland. He won’t be a head coach, but will serve as assistant head coach and special teams coordinator.

It’s not as high of position, but it’s tough to land any job in the Big Ten; he couldn’t pass it up.

You may be happy to see him gone, but next time you think about some of the best seasons in Ball State history, think of Pete Lembo.
