Iowa gets DEI points, virtue signal points, KSU retains its old white man AD, win win.

Very successful, old, white man AD, mind you. Iowa will be fortunate if its new AD emulates Taylor's success to any degree.

I imagine that Iowa did due diligence, and I hope that she does great. If so, this hire will provide long-term bonus benefits - see, e.g., Tara VanDerveer: https://www.espn.com/womens-college-bas ... ps-history

BREAKING: The #Chargers and Jim Harbaugh have “mostly agreed to in principle when it comes to his salary,” per @Outkick.

Today’s discussions are regarding the team's personnel department, etc.

Jim will be paid more than what Michigan was offering, over 12.5 MILLION DOLLARS.

If this comes to fruition, let's hope there is no "domino effect" in MHK.

TUCSON, Ariz. -- Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke is out after seven years amid financial difficulties in the leadup to the school's move to the Big 12 Conference.

The school announced on Monday a "transition in the leadership" in the department and Heeke will be out on Feb. 2. Former Wildcats softball coach Mike Candrea will serve as interim AD....

Heeke announced a plan last Thursday to help the school recover from a university-wide $240 million miscalculation of projected cash on hand. The plan includes hiring freezes and a pause on all major construction projects with the athletic department still on the hook to repay a $55 million loan issued during the pandemic.

So, it's a "university-wide" problem, so the AD gets the boot? The miscalculation (how could academia possibly screw up that badly?) must have been with the athletic department.

evidently $55 million of the problem was with the a.d.; then he lost the star football coach.
