Lateral move. Senior VP of Keeper of the Chamber Pot.
Morty Schapiro and Jim Phillips should be responsible for answering for that stuff. It happened all under their watch. Schill and Gragg are also incompetent at their jobs, but that doesn't absolve the former two.Hired in 2021. Completely mishandled suspension and firing of Fitzgerald and baseball coach for hazing. Did not bother to come back from his vacation to tell the players (did it by Zoom)

Very Northwestern? I'd say very higher ed. This type of move is very common at universities.Very Northwestern to add a layer of bureaucracy with a confusing relationship to the reporting structure like that.
From what I know from people who have worked in (non-athletic) administration there it's a nightmare to get anything done despite money never being an issue.
What good does any of this do when half of the major network sport journalists are northwestern grads and wont say aDon't worry. The pride of the NU Medill School of Journalism, Teddy Greenstein, is going to do a big expose on Cat sports any....day....now.
All Universities are bureaucratic, but UI would never make Josh Whitman the VP of Athletic-Type Activities and then hire a different AD.Very Northwestern? I'd say very higher ed. This type of move is very common at universities.
geezAll Universities are bureaucratic, but UI would never make Josh Whitman the VP of Athletic-Type Activities and then hire a different AD.
Confusion about who is in charge is common there in a way it's not at the University of Chicago, I can speak with direct experience on that.
Northwestern's reputation even within elite higher ed is that you've got a Matrix sequel of endless suits between you and whatever you want to do.
See “despite money never being an issue” from my prior post.geez
why would a normal pragmatic guy/gal, who likes to get things done in a timely manner, ever want to work there ?
Here I am waiting for that nugget of investigative journalism.Don't worry. The pride of the NU Medill School of Journalism, Teddy Greenstein, is going to do a big expose on Cat sports any....day....now.
Maybe because if something ever goes sideways, they have multiple ways to point the finger.geez
