The report, published Wednesday afternoon, does not cite a source, but said Gragg was “believed to have met with his Eastern Michigan staff Wednesday afternoon.”

Tulsa University has not announced his hiring. An EMU athletic department spokesperson declined to comment on the report when reached by AnnArbor.com.

Gragg came to Eastern Michigan in February, 2006, after spending six years as an assistant athletic director at the University of Arkansas. He also spent time at Columbia and Michigan.

Hopefully, he can take Jay Alexander with him, for those of you who are unaware or do not follow EMU sports, he poses as the baseball coach.

Mr Gragg, congratulations on your new job. However, I hope you have better luck at Tulsa with your football and basketball teams than you did at EMU or it will be a short tenure for you.
