SU Athletic Director Candidates

[Blanko97]

I've heard lots of bad things about her. She's one of the highest paid admins on the hill (behind Kent) clocking in at over 7 figures too.

No lie, good for her. Get your bag when you can ya know

So can anyone share who they think the serious contenders are for athletic director? Carparelli, Lyke(?), Goodrich? Theodorakis? Cunningham? Anyone else?

I think Mike Paulus fits the schools MO of promoting from within. Whitman and Athletic experience.

Carparelli / Russ Brandon. Lyke and a fourth candidate were also interviewed.

Theodorakis I gather didn’t want to leave army yet. He’s early into the role and wants more time there.

Wasn’t Russ Brandon accused of an inappropriate relationship when he was with the Bills and then resigned?

 

[rrlbees]

No.

oh well. that article just popped up and was written today so i found it interesting.

Yup. There’s some baggage there. I’d be surprised if he was the choice.

Compared to Lyke’s transgressions he’s Mother Theresa.

there’s an argument we didn’t handle the NIL transition well so I think that’s a knock on his bio from his time at SU. Seems like he will eventually get a bigger AD job at some point though.

Got to be Carparelli this time around

 

[Newhouser]

so 2 of the 3 candidates we deemed suitable for an interview of what may be the 2nd most important position on campus have baggage that takes a 2 second google search to uncover? Did we have worse interest in the AD post than we did the basketball job?

Hope so I think he’s a great choice

 

[Jack_Ball]

No.

Cunningham the 4th?

I’m going to be optimistic (for a change) and hope we had a favorite in mind to start the search. But we will see next week.

 

[richmondcuse03]

Cunningham the 4th?

Nope. Never heard his name as being involved.

How embarrassing

 

[cliftonparksufan]

It doesn't matter to me who it is as long as it isn't Lyke, but it would surprise me if they interviewed three white guys and one white women. I could be totally wrong.

 

[MSOrange]

Yup. There’s some baggage there. I’d be surprised if he was the choice.

As a longtime Bills fan, I'd prefer we not go in the Brandon direction. So I'm glad to hear you'd be surprised.

You’re an astute man.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Not really. It's academics and it's 2026. Optics is an important word. I just hope they hire an extremely qualified person for the job. And Carparelli would seem like a good pick.
