Joe Christensen wrote about 9 candidates who have been identified by his sources as finalists for the Gopher's open Athletic Director position. There has not been a lot of reliable information to date as this process has been kept very close to the vest. He spoke with several sources who only spoke on the condition of anonymity.
I don't want to copy/paste his work so I'll share some thoughts of my own on each of these. I do suggest you read his comments.
This bit of info was good from Joe's piece. The deadline for applications is 4/29 with formal interviews occurring in the coming weeks.
