The official website is done by some third party software vendor (e.g. Sidearm Sports) that the athletic department just contracts out. Looks like "WMT Digital" right now. What, you thought the athletic department had the budget for software engineers? They have a lot of raises to hand out... and this is why athletic department websites for so many D1 schools have the exact same layout.
I don't even know if the athletic department has a say in whether they can keep the old version vs. getting rolled forward with "this year's latest and greatest (not) fan experience!" What gets me is that none of these third parties do a good job with content management from older versions or perhaps even previous vendors. Old articles, rosters, schedules, etc are lost to the sands of time.
