Well, after *checks notes* three weeks of relative silence on the Athletic Director front following the controversial Mike Polisky saga that ended with him announcing his resignation only 10 days into his tenure, it appears Northwestern has found his replacement in Tulsa Athletic Director Derrick Gragg. The news was first reported by Yahoo’s Pete Thamel.
Sources: Former Tulsa Atheltic Director Derrick Gragg expected to become the next AD at Northwestern. He’s currently the NCAA’s senior VP for inclusion, education and community engagement.

As Thamel’s tweet mentions, Gragg also currently holds the title of Senior Vice President for Inclusion, Education and Community Engagement for the NCAA.
