PORTALES — Roughly two weeks after Eastern New Mexico University athletic director Greg Waggoner turned in his resignation, the process of replacing him is humming along. Waggoner’s resignation became public on June 25, was formally announced by the university on June 26, and the position was posted that weekend on ncaa.com, collegead.com and the university’s website, in addition to going out across social media. The response since has indicated great interest in the Division II position. “In less than two weeks we have go...
