ADU: Over 100 sitting Athletic Directors and executive-level administrators who currently are or could soon be a Pac-12 AD were invited to share feedback on each AD job in the league. Â The data was used to provide detailed insights about the potential for success at each school.
The nine variables utilized to determine the rankings include:
- Athletics facilities relative to Pac-12 peers
- Perceptions about the ability to generate donor & corporate support for the athletics program
- Perceptions about institutional leadership (e.g. President, Trustees, C-Suite) in support of the athletic program
- Perceptions about the quality of the institution’s brand
- Perceptions about the potential for serious compliance & NCAA rules violations
- Potential for Football success relative to Pac-12 peers
- Potential for Men’s Basketball success relative to Pac-12 peers
- Potential for success in non-revenue sports relative to Pac-12 peers
- Quality of Life (cost of living, schools, culture, geography) if all other factors were equal
