On the surface, it would seem the main objective of Kansas’ future athletic director would be to help fix football – a challenge that has plagued previous KU athletic directors for the past decade.
While that is and should be a top priority of the next AD, football is not the only athletic department whose success hinges upon this crucial hire.
The search committee – headed by Chancellor Girod, national search firm TurnkeyZRG, and four select KU alumni advisors – is set to announce the new athletic director any day now.
