Penn State is working to finalize a deal with Boston College athletic director Patrick Kraft to replace the retiring Sandy Barbour and become the school’s next AD. A person with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press that the school and Kraft were close. Kraft has led Boston College’s athletic department for almost two years after a stint at Temple. The 62-year-old Barbour is retiring this summer after leading Penn State athletics for the past eight years.
