The Modern AD - Edition 003 is now available and has been emailed to subscribers. Purchase via link in comments it will be delivered to the email you provide at checkout. Payments are processed w/ Stripe & can be an individual purchase or save on a monthly or annual membership.
This is a place I gotta visit. The football product is one thing, the George Washington fan and history buff in me helps my interest, too.
Every AD will tell you that athletics has the unique ability to serve as the front porch to an institution to tell a story.
Moments like these extend well beyond the fields of friendly strife. They are opportunities to showcase our cadets, tell the West Point story, bring our community together, and share our mission with millions across the country.
And why “Public Engagement” is a key pillar of our “Fruits of Victory” strategic plan.
See you at West Point!

Latest on Higher Ed Athletics is @OralRobertsU Athletic Director @TimoJJ. Advice for pursuing Deputy jobs. Why 1st Corinthians 9:24 guides his leadership. Hiring hard & managing easy. Growing AD tree. Mid-Major Basketball. Finding new fans/donors/revenue in OK. Looking 10 years out.

đź“ŤUniversity of Alabama. I took a walk thru campus and around the athletic facilities. The context I gather just from a walk on a campus goes a long way, which is why I do these stops when the opportunity comes up.
I can’t drive thru Alabama without stopping at UA. It’s a Sunday but if you’re around, @Greg_Byrne, it would be great to say hey to a former Higher Ed Athletics podcast guest. One hour out.
Due to car trouble on our trip back from Tampa to Indy, my wife and kids flew home and I’m now driving the van back solo. Staying night in Tallahassee and going to explore some Alabama schools tomorrow on the long haul home.
The thing I don’t like about hearing the referees & conference replay command centers is the amount of groupthink that goes on. The guy talking for that review basically convinced them all it was clear as day when it sure didn’t seem like it.

I had no idea a guy named Josh Pate created the show Outer Banks. I wonder if @JoshPateCFB has ever met him.
Way to go @EricCGeorge

Experiencing Notre Dame Stadium for the first time ever tomorrow night to root on the Spartans. Taking my 10 year old and ready for whatever weather we get. Always cool to visit historic venues.
I'm getting very close to actually doing the study that I've proposed for my dissertation next month. I will be interviewing approximately 16 FBS athletic directors for the study. If those of you that follow HEA get an official invite from my student email (IU) please open it.
What a great class!
