Beth Goetz article from the Athletic

Despite popular thinking, football is not the most important thing on the campus as a whole and KF doesn't get to do anything he wants. Would he want to? Sure. Would he want to pick his boss? Who wouldn't? Would he like to pick his successor? I am sure.

But, IMHO KF will not get any of that. The AD is responsible for running the entire athletic department and reports to the president. The selection will be a consensus pick with all stakeholders weighing in, but Wilson is not going to pick whomever KF wants or a KF sycophant. That is by no means her reputation.

Yeah, All revenue from every sport combined isn’t a fraction of the money the university brings in from academics and alumni. You don’t build a 2.5 billion endowment from football.

Perspective wins again. Sports is an after thought after all.
