Neeli needs to hire someone who has experience in stadium facilities construction and management as well as NIL, and coaches salaries performance, student athlete, academics, attendance and financial performance, corporate sponsorships, signage at stadiums and score board advertising, luxury box sales, food concessions, game experience for fans and the press, halftime themes at games (not just football) parking and traffic management, and safety and security. It’s a complex set of duties and finding the right person is not easy given the challenge - that’s why there are so many assistants. Mostly some experience with the stadium’s construction and just as important, it’s financing will be key qualifications for the right candidate.

Or someone who actually cares about fundraising.

How about she start with hiring someone competent? And not a Cal castoff who bankrupted the Athletic Department and drove academics into the trough?

Excellent advice genius. Why don’t you write her and suggest that. She was probably looking for an incompetent dolt. Better yet - who would you hire? And don’t say Condoleesa Rice - she’s qualified but not interested. Your names…..seriously

She recently stated publicly she is looking for someone with strong experience in facilities, fundraising and NIL.

Thank you. Competency is always a nice start. List? Phone books are shorter than lists of ADs better than SB.

Neeli’s own credentials are mediocre at best. Must be nice to be a box check hire…do a mediocre job at a mediocre school like Louisville and then get a big upgrade to a school (albeit one in rapid decline) like PSU and “learn on the job.”

But heck, the doofus Barren will still be around as a consultant.

This is like a bad joke!
