3 Guys Before The Game – WVU President Michael Benson Visits (Episode 729)


The relationship between a university president and an athletic department often determines far more than wins and losses. When leadership shares a common vision, the entire institution benefits.

At West Virginia University, that partnership appears to be taking shape. President Michael Benson believes athletic success can elevate the university’s reputation, strengthen enrollment, energize alumni and create momentum that extends well beyond the playing field.

In this episode, the “Guys” sit down with President Benson to reflect on his first year in Morgantown. They discuss the evolving landscape of higher education, the changing economics of college athletics, and the strategic decisions being made to position West Virginia University for long-term success.

It’s an insightful conversation with the university’s chief executive on leadership, vision and why the future of WVU depends on excelling both in the classroom and in competition.
