Generally, you assume that most athletic directors at the Division 1 level are aware of the changes being made inside their school's football facilities. But that might not be the case for WVU AD Wren Baker.
On Thursday, WVU football coach Rich Rodriguez had a viral moment during a press conference after wrapping up the second day of fall camp. While discussing how well current college athletes are supported – including his own players – Rodriguez hyped up the WVU football facilities, asking if the press had "been through this building" and noting that players and coaches "live in a fantasy world" and "want for nothing."
"We even got our ice cream machine, we just got it yesterday," Hell, it might be two days before we get it all cranked up, but damn...an ice cream machine, free. And it probably even has the sprinkles to put on it."
On Thursday night, Baker took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and shared a video of Rodriguez's ice cream rant and indicated – likely jokingly, but who knows for sure – that he was unaware of the addition. However, he seems just as excited about the news as Rodriguez was.
I DID NOT know we got a new ice cream machine! I’m moving my office to the Puskar center! @RealCoachRod https://t.co/Nta09lR0Tx pic.twitter.com/OfF0SMp5tB

"I DID NOT know we got a new ice cream machine! I’m moving my office to the Puskar center," tweeted Baker.
He also tagged Rodriguez in the tweet, and it didn't take long for Rodriguez to fire back with some additional details he found out about the machine.
"Yes! With chocolate and sprinkles as well," Rodriguez tweeted.
