[Football] Georgetown's Cronin named 2018 AFCA president

GEORGETOWN, Ky.- Georgetown College football coach Bill Cronin will lead the American Football Coaches Association in 2018 as president of the organization. Cronin, who moves up from first vice-president, succeeds outgoing president Rich Rodriguez of the University of Arizona. Cronin was elected president by members attending the Association's 2018 convention this week in Charlotte, NC.

"It is with great pride and honor that I accept this position of 2018 AFCA President," Cronin said. "Not many in their profession get an opportunity to be associated with such great leaders as the football coaching profession provides. These coaches have the ability to change lives because of their influence on countless young men. The AFCA provides a reservoir of knowledge, experience, and inspiration to so many in our sport. I look forward to assisting Todd Berry and the AFCA staff in any way possible to continue this charge."
