She'd be looked at as a progressive step in the right direction for some.

Celtics coach Brad Stevens was the basketball coach at Butler when Goetz was the associate AD over there. He calls her's "a rock star".

The alumni and coaches are pushing hard for someone with ties to the U. Some support Goetz. Some want John Anderson. Some even want Pete Najarian.

And women are less likely to start wars, scam poor people out of their pension funds (Wall Street) etc.

Again, it's not a 100% proposition, but it's amazing what a jolt of testosterone can make a person do to another person.

How many female athletic directors with a DI football program? Just curious.

Status: offline 		MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The chief information officer at the University of Minnesota has resigned, becoming the second high-ranking administrator to leave in the past month.

University officials aren’t saying why R. Scott Studham left. But spokesman Evan Lapiska says there’s “no connection whatsoever” to the resignation of athletic director Norwood Teague, who quit amid revelations that he sexually harassed two high-ranking administrators.

Studham said Friday the university is a great place and he learned a lot there, but his passion is elsewhere.

As CIO, Studham oversaw IT operations across the university’s five-campus system. He came to Minnesota in 2012 after serving as CIO at Tennessee.

The university announced Thursday that senior associate athletic director Mike Ellis is on voluntary leave while outside lawyers investigate anonymous complaints lodged since Teague’s resignation.

Some serious power and blocking ability on the front line. A very good team.

Correct, lower 20's I believe.

They made a number of impressive saves off spikes, and for the most part, did so with little fanfare. As if it were expected to dig everything out.

Status: offline 		Saying he had been unfairly caught up in the investigation of his former boss, Mike Ellis resigned as the University of Minnesota’s senior associate athletics director.

Ellis took voluntary leave at the U’s request Aug. 21 pending an investigation into unspecified, anonymous complaints against him in the wake of the Aug. 6 resignation of Norwood Teague, who had admitted that he sexually harassed two university employees.

Ellis recently returned to work for a couple of days but decided he would rather accept one of several pending job offers that he has received, said his attorney, Christopher Madel.

Ellis said in his resignation letter that he was “pleased that the University has made no disciplinary findings against me, and that no discipline has been imposed or proposed against me related to any ongoing investigation.” He added that he was not surprised, “as I have done nothing wrong.”

According to Ellis’ letter to interim athletics director Beth Goetz, he will be paid through Nov. 20.
