She seems to have high level national committee experience on the university side of athletics that could be valuable but does not seem to have any experience in the day to day operations of an athletic department.
Hence the reason for promoting Leanna Bordner, to handle the day to day . . .

Do you believe they will demote her back to her old role once the new ad arrives? Aka is this interim too
Would you be willing to take a demotion if you were with the university as long as Leanna? No, they won't demote her. The next AD has the option to maintain her at that level or not renew her contract.

Now that we have a President is there any news about getting a permanent AD?

i was hoping someone that knows her would say she is outstanding and in her new expanded role will get our coaches and staff expenses, that are for some reason millions higher than our conference peers, investigated and shrunk. alternatively it looks like our coaches and staff expenses are now growing even higher with her promotion

On a somewhat related note, ex-pres Dietz "looking" for work. A candidate for interim president at St. Cloud State U. in Minnesota.

My guess is that Larry has some gas left in the tank and would enjoy the benefit from the “double dip” of collecting his IL state pension on top of a nice salary for (approx.) a year. I would imagine there are quite a few search firms that would want him for this type of role if an external candidate is needed.
