So let me say it this way...*if* that stuff isn't being done, I would be worried. But you only have so much time, and that detail stuff is what needs to get done first and foremost. A commissioner can be hired later on after that stuff is closer to completion - later in the summer would be fine.
You are making the assumption that all of the presidents / ADs are on the same page and working well together. What if that is not the case? Who breaks the tie when MU and Georgetown disagree on how something shoul be run?

Seems a commish should have been one of the easier things to accomplish.
