RE: The new AD - Hurlburt88 - 08-07-2025
Seems to me that they probably spend a pretty decent amount of time together while Donahoe was a GSB trustee. I thus wonder: is this Levin hiring someone with whom he is comfortable and maybe there are some blind spots, or Levin properly leveraging his deep knowledge of a candidate's strengths? Time will tell . . .

It's possible that Levin was the primary recruiter of Donohue.
I wonder if the issue of the athletic department getting involved with private equity had/has any bearing on the selection of the AD.

It is hard to see a fit at Stanford. No other school has taken the leap yet. Maybe at the conference level media or other commercial activities would be a fit.

It strikes me that a really strong businessperson could deal with the combination of factors that ail Stanford athletics.
