Episode 38: Jim Donovan

Cal State Fullerton Athletic Director Jim Donovan took time out of his very busy schedule to talk about Titan Athletics getting the green light from the Big West Conference to start sporing sports. That means after getting the season canceled 20 games into the 2020 season, Titan Baseball will be back on the field in 2021. What a Titan Baseball season will look like and how the Athletic Department will navigate COVID-19 restrictions and protocols? Jim Donovan shares his thoughts in this episode. He even gives Titan fans a sneak peek at a tentative Titan Baseball conference schedule complete with home and away opponents and potential series dates. Make sure to stay to the end to hear how the Titan Baseball and Softball complex construction project is progressing and the expected completion dates.
