PC choice. You UTSA guys are so hung up on making a politically correct choice that you can't do what's best for your school. It's a UT System hallmark. Sad.

Who would have been the right choice, then?

Are any UTSA fans aware of a list of finalists for the job?

I was semi-joking on a UTEP board that the 3 finalists for UTEP;
Lisa Campos (NAU AD)
Jim Senter (Citadel AD)
Chris Park (UTEP Assoc. AD)

might also be the finalist list for UTSA. We had at least 1 common finalist, for sure.

Also saw where UTSA is paying Campos $375k per yr, which is about a $100k increase over Hickey's salary.

No other finalists were announced/leaked. Which is the point I was trying to make to HogDawg. How can you possibly say she was hired solely because of "political correctness" when you don't even know who the other candidates were? Looking at UTEP's search, and recent hires within C-USA and other G5's, her resume is up there with the best of them.

And Hickey was always underpaid, which is a shame given what she did for our university, but it's just the way of life nowadays, where you have to move around to get any significant salary increase.
