Interesting article about sports at Penn but, more interestingly, about AD Calhoun's role in the NCAA. She is quite a powerful woman right now in college sports - too bad the HYP axis prevents her from taking more aggressive positions for Penn.

Penn Today Interview with Grace Calhoun

ESPN reports that Duke AD Kevin White is stepping down in August.

https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/ _/id/307...

Duke president Vincent Price was previously the Penn provost. As a result, he worked with Grace Calhoun between her hiring in 2014 and his leaving in 2017.

She had the high profile work with the NCAA the last 2 years and was a serious candidate for the UCLA job last summer. She was also considered for the BC job that went to the former Temple AD.

She could be a serious candidate for the Duke AD job, especially if they don't consider her to be responsible for the 2015 bribery case.

- WHO WILL BE THE NEXT DUKE AD?

Price, Duke’s president, will lead the search for White’s successor. He’ll have an array of options, including a strong internal candidate in Duke deputy athletics director Nina King. The sport administrator for Duke football and women’s basketball, she chairs the NCAA women’s basketball committee this season.

Two former Duke assistant athletic directors who could be candidates are Stan Wilcox and Mike Cragg.

Wilcox left Duke to become Florida State’s athletic director from 2013-2018. He currently works at the NCAA office in Indianapolis as a vice president for regulatory affairs.

Cragg, a Duke administrator from 1987-2018, is athletic director at St. John’s. Cragg worked closely with men’s basketball during his time at Duke, overseeing the Duke Basketball Legacy Fund that’s helped endow the program’s coaching salaries and scholarships. He handled day-to-day supervision of Duke’s recent athletic facilities upgrades before leaving for St. John’s.

Price could also look to his recent past as Penn’s provost. He was in that job, prior to coming to Duke in 2017, when Grace Calhoun was hired as Penn’s athletic director. She has also chaired the NCAA Division I Council since May 2019.

Whoever replaces White will certainly be tasked with hiring Duke’s next basketball coach, as Krzyzewski turns 74 next month, and likely the next football coach since Cutcliffe turned 66 during last season. -
