Michelle Obama
One of the BLM founders
Greta Thunberg
RuPaul
Anderson Cooper
Rachel Maddow
Her husband
Possibly the winner of Sing?

You left out AOC

A loser

First female AD in the Big 12.

And then you'll know just how serious they are about not being an institution of football.

It kills me how many of them are sexist. Who cares what is between their legs as long as they get the job done. We have had plenty of *****es that have failed miserably including our current AD.

She has been quite successful. I would love to have Oprah type of success in athletics. Also, think of how she will improve our NIL.

Vandy has had a couple of good season as a result of buying some great talent in the portal. Lea may be able to maintain that level of performance once Pavia moves on to the NFL. Or he may not. Time will tell.

However the majority of her career can be described with "Despite criticism during periods of athletic underperformance, including multiple 2-10 football seasons and a construction-impacted stadium,"

The fact that she maintained her position through that period of long term underperformance is a testament to the stickiness of DEI at Vandy.

Baylor can't afford a hire like that at this stage without running a serious risk of being relegated to permanent athletic irrelevance and missing out on the next realignment cut (if we're not there already).

Ha! I know right - I had a few cocktails and was posting on my phone instead of my iPad per normal. It's a fair take but I am technically Gen X - barely

Duke and USC have female AD's.

Why can't she hire Jeremiah Dickey? Dude even has Texas ties. You have to question why any AD would leave a good thing they have going on in the first place though…

UTSA has a female AD who seems super sharp. While not my first choice, I wouldn't be terribly disappointed if she was considered for our opening.

We're going to come out in a good place. Mack was a good hire at the time, same for Rhule and Aranda was the pick of the litter during that cycle.

Things haven't gone well the last few years and I figure that's because of Mack's involvement in realignment and extracurriculars but I trust the real decision makers are going to put there best effort into hiring good people.

I think she's at Eastern Washington now if it's Lynn Hickey.. I forgot about her

She was the women's coach at A&M when I was in school.

Edit: I didn't realize UTSA had another female AD now after Hickey.

Yeah, I was talking about Campos. Traylor has always spoken extremely highly of her.

We need a football first AD. Football represents ~85% of the revenue at most power 4 institutions. The only other sport that makes money is Men's basketball. Take excellent care of football with a small side of men's basketball and do what must be done for title IX (but precious little more) for all the others and things will be fine.

Women's basketball is the fastest-growing sport in America. It will be a revenue sport eventually. It should be prioritized along with football and men's basketball, though not quite to those same levels in terms of coach's pay, etc.

But I want an AD that strives for excellence in every sport we offer. Smart decisions have to be made regarding resource allocation, but I don't think we should be punting any sport. If we offer it as a varsity sport, we should be striving to compete at the highest level possible.

Arizona has a female AD

I do not know what kind of bubble y'all live in to think that Linda Livingstone is this ultra-liberal, left wing person. Yes, she is more liberal than Jerry Falwell, Jr. and Ken Starr, but that doesn't make her Karl Marx or anything. Has there been some straying from Baylor's traditional stance on things since she's been president? Yes. Has some of it been disappointing? Sure. But this idea that she worships Bernie Sanders, prays to AOC, and volunteers her time at the Americans for Democratic Actoin is just unfounded.

I don't count the temporary bump that Caitlin Clark has given the sport as a long term trend. I'll believe a women's sport is profitable when I actually see it. Until then, women will not watch sports. They'd rather watch women destroy each other on real housewives tv shows.

It's not a temporary Caitlin Clark bump. Girls and women's basketball popularity is up across all levels. The national championship game last year did 8.6 million viewers sans Clark.

Women's sports, in general, have never been more popular. Almost every sports attendance and/or TV ratings boost that has occurred since COVID has been a product of the rising popularity of women's sports. Men's sports have pretty much all either declined or remained static.

It would be really short-sighted to discount this phenomenon. Both the quality and popularity of women's sports are at an all-time high, and that's especially true in basketball, where college and pro TV deals are about to become a lot more lucrative. This surge is real ... and for good reason. There are some really damn good and entertaining players in girls and women's basketball right now. And there are several more Caitlin Clark caliber players coming up the pipeline.

I had the pleasure of watching one the last four years in Oklahoma freshman Aliyah Chavez. That girl is unreal.
