Message: [QUOTE="sun, post: 4223459, member: 11664"] Perhaps it's useful to know some background about the committee and who serves on it. The committee was recently expanded from 10 to 12 members, and there was significant turnover of it membership in 2020 with 5 members resigning, & with 2 members being reappointed for an additional year including chair Nina King, Duke athletic director. Members of the committee include: In addition to Nina King (Duke AD), Debbie Richardson (senior associate commissioner of the Atlantic 10 Conference) and Beth Goetz (committee vice chair from Ball State), members of the 12-member committee for 2021-22 will include Deneé Barracato, deputy director of athletics at Northwestern; Amanda Braun, athletics director at Milwaukee; Greg Burke, director of athletics at Northwestern State; Kurt McGuffin, director of intercollegiate athletics at UT Martin; Lisa Peterson, deputy athletics director at Oregon; Derita Ratcliffe Dawkins, deputy athletics director at Arkansas; Janice Ruggiero, deputy director of athletics and senior woman administrator at New Mexico; Jill Shields, deputy athletics director at Kansas State and Lynn Tighe, senior associate athletics director and senior woman administrator at Villanova. With 12 people on the committee, IMO they shouldn't need to justify anything in writing as if they were court judges. They probably operate more like a jury and simply vote their conscience after discussion and debate. And they probably accept recommendations made by other members about which options to follow. One can only wonder if there's any lobbying & deal making going on behind the scenes.
