Seems like a strong hire for where college football is today. I feel like league offices need this guy and the former AD who actually knows what it's like to run an athletics department. I'd love to see the B1G lead the way in changing the model at conference offices. Dave Brandon seemed like a good business hire at one time...and then, yeah. But then he was succeeded by a successful business man who did a great job during his short stint as AD. So you never know. I just think the job is too big for one person to lead. Give me this guy, plus someone with equal influence, who has been on a college campus. As of right now, the next highest ranking official in the B1G is a Gene Smith disciple from OSU (Diana Sabau). Can't imagine that's great for Michigan. One of Warde's most underrated strengths was he has a good relationship with Kevin Warren after Brandon (and Brandon's predecessors) left Michigan is a big time hole. And Warde kept a good relationship with the league despite a head football coach, who let's be honest, many people outside of Michigan can't stand. Anyway, interested to see how this hire turns out. In reading about him, he definitely has the credentials. Far more qualified than Warren (who had huge shortcomings, but did a GREAT job with the decisions that mattered...the TV deal and USC/UCLA).
