Alabama State athletic director Stacy Danley placed on leave

MONTGOMERY, Alabama - Stacy Danley’s future as Alabama State University’s athletic director is cloudy after school officials confirmed Wednesday that Danley had been placed on administrative leave. The Montgomery Advertiser broke the story Wednesday afternoon on www.montgomeryadvertiser.com.

“Stacy Danley, ASU’s athletic director, is on administrative leave with pay,” according to ASU spokesman Kenneth Mullinax. “Since this situation is a pending personnel matter due to protocol at ASU, I am not allowed to discuss any of the details.”

“Alabama State, with or without Stacy Danley, has a chance to be extremely special,” he added.
