In the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav, we were able to catch up with Jim Miller, the director of athletics at New Orleans. When we taped the interview late Wednesday afternoon, Miller was driving back to New Orleans for the first time since evacuating the city over the weekend.
The majority of the school's athletics teams stayed together at other college campuses while the hurricane passed. According to Miller, the situation is "a lot better than it was three years ago after Katrina."
In our conversation, Miller described the detailed evacuation plans that were carried out in order to keep all of its student-athletes away from danger. Miller stressed that uncertainty is always present, so no matter what part of the country a school is located, it must be ready for anything.
