Missouri State University's search for a provost may be over. Sources tell CHATTER that Belinda R. McCarthy was on-campus Wednesday for a visit and second interview.

Oh yeah, I have been meaning to comment on this: WHO CARES?

This is one of those stories that too many media outlets are using to fill time. The average Springfieldian, even the average Missouri State student, is not sitting home going, "I wonder who the new Provost will be".

What do you think, Ron?
