I was thinking more KC and the Sunshine Band...
What? Too Patriarchal?

Meanwhile the actual AD will hire/fire the head football coach as necessary, which is the one REAL job of a big10 AD. Everything else is PR, adhering to establishment political standards, and shifting a bit of money around here or there.

Wait a minute, B10 BB is not exactly only PR...and other sports programs are not exactly chopped liver. Especially at a number of very prestigious institutions.

Ken Bothop from NKU will be interim AD. Mearns Announcement: "I have decided to appoint Ken Bothof as the interim director of athletics. Ken has 35 years of experience in college sports, including serving for 11 years as the athletics director at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay and serving for 9 years as the athletics director at Northern Kentucky University.
I know Ken very well because, in 2013, when I was serving as the president of NKU, I hired him as the athletics director. In addition to his extensive professional experience, Ken has good judgment, and he shares our commitment to excellence, integrity, and inclusiveness.
I am grateful that Ken is willing to postpone his retirement plans for a few months to assist us with this temporary assignment while we conduct a search for our next outstanding athletics director. And I know that Ken is excited to join and support our outstanding team of coaches and administrators."

Big10 men's BB is the #2 job, but I think at any B10 school except IU, you could blunder pretty hard on the BB coach choice and survive just fine if your football coach choice was rolling well. All other sports are, in fact, exactly chopped liver.

All other sports are, in fact, exactly chopped liver. As I said above if things go as I expect, there will be independent FB programs requiring a VP level AD and another AD that is also VP level, but has a smaller budget...
I am not sure I buy your definition where you ignore other sports. Even in the B10 and SEC. It just isn't going to happen that the only "real" AD jobs will someday be in a very few conferences, and not all the teams in those conferences.
I suspect Beth and other young AD's will still have good job opportunity at the other schools even if they aren't the good old boys that FB will expect. The other sports are important.

He was in that assignment previously when he retired from Eastern Kentucky.

Any AD search updates? I would think this attractive career building nugget would have the sporting community allaflutter with enthusiasm and anticipation. Maybe we are waiting to take the candidates on our holiday bowl caravan to show how we run with the conference big dogs.

What the University calls a quick and efficient search is rarely very quick.

There is internal disagreement on whether posting on Monster or Indeed will generate the best candidate pool

Independent search firm has already been hired and is currently vetting candidates.

Independent search firm has already been hired and is currently vetting candidates. A little more on the search process... www.ballstatedaily.com/article/2022/12/sports-ball-state-athletic-director-process-following-beth-geotzs-departureI believe that has been a problem for Ball State is that we have had so many ADs come from the outside. We have changed course in favor of new management so many times in a relatively short period of time, that the program has suffered. How about trying something different? How about hiring from inside the program and continue what Beth had started. She was a keen judge of personnel and I believe one of her deputy ADs could continue her work and build on what she started.
