A change in plans emerged two weeks after athletic director Chris McIntosh said his former position in the University of Wisconsin athletic department will go unfilled for now.
UW last week advertised a job opening for a deputy athletic director, the role McIntosh held before he was promoted in July.
It's unclear what changed between Sept. 10, when McIntosh told the UW Athletic Board that there was no immediate plan to add to the department's senior staff, and the Sept. 24 job posting. UW athletics officials didn't respond to messages asking about the shift.
The deputy AD position that the Badgers are trying to fill was advertised as overseeing policy development, personnel, budget planning and staff development.
