It will be interesting to say the least. AB is now under a microscope, or at least should be. Some very hard questions are being asked around her overall performance, not just the Jeter situation.
Credit Lena Taylor (with whom I rarely agree, but sports knows no political affiliations) for pushing the issues of accountability and performance with Mone, per her interview with Bill Michaels. (link: http://media.billmichaelssports.com/...na-taylor.htm? ) She has broadened her criticisms from the original diversity issue to the larger issue of the performance and oversight of AB, her behavior in general, and her performance in a position of authority and responsibility.
Mone needs to be put into a box on this. Pressure needs to be applied on him, not just AB. Hard question need to be asked. It is long past time that the AD report directly to the Chancellor, and be accountable to him/her for results. If she has not/does not produce, she needs to be replaced with someone who can and will.
I still find it interesting that she is NOT the chair of the committee making perhaps the most important hire of her tenure. Is she no longer trusted inside the University? Are they making sure that the new coach is not personally indebted to her in preparation for an eventual change at the AD level? Or are they insulating her (again) from responsibility if this hire goes wrong, giving them the out of "she didn't actually make that hire, so you cannot blame her for it" while retaining her?We shall see.....
