It is unlikely that Beth Goetz expected to the acting Athletic Director at the University of Minnesota. Even more unlikely that she would have to deal with a Title IX investigation and the resignation of Jerry Kill. Nonetheless, Goetz has performed well so far, and her background and skills make her a strong candidate to be the permanent Athletic Director.
President Kaler has indicated that finding a new Athletic Director is the most important priority for the department, even before hiring a new football coach. On the one hand, this seems odd. Football is the most important sport for the U, and there are a number of recruits waiting to see who will be the new coach.
